[Bug 259363] [NEW] Need to source envvars before being able to use 'apache2' binary.

[Fluor]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2.2-common

Hi,

It appears you *need* to source /etc/apache2/envvars before being able to interact with /usr/sbin/apache2 from the shell.
This is annoying.

| $ /usr/sbin/apache2 -S
| apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
| $ . /etc/apache2/envvars
| $ /usr/sbin/apache2 -S
| [ .. expected output .. ]

Is this really the best way to make the APACHE_RUN_USER configurable?
How about sourcing /etc/apache2/conf.d/run-as-user or something that is included when apache2ctl or apache2 is run.

Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 AMD64, Apache2 (2.2.8-1ubuntu0.3)

Regards,
Sander.
