[sles-beta] YAST2 "Install server"

[Darren Thompson]

Team

I have a SLES12 "Install server" that i have been craying forward from the
earliest betas by just doing an inplace zypper dup with the new sources as
repos.

In any case the apache2 instance started failing with the following errors:

sles12sources:/etc/apache2 # systemctl status apache2
apache2.service - The Apache Webserver
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2014-09-20 17:32:54 AEST;

The "imagemap" looks like it was just an invalid module so i excluded it
and that seemd to address that issue...

The "Invalid command 'Order'," was more confusing as it is a standard
authorisation stansa.

I found this reference in apace2 documents
"In this example, all requests are allowed.
2.2 configuration:

Order allow,denyAllow from all

 2.4 configuration:

Require all granted"

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

I then re-edited the "inst_server,conf" file in,ine with that recomendation
(sample below) and the install server is now working again.

Is it possible that the YAST2 module does not correctly accomadate an
upgraded APACHE2 server configuration requirement?

Sample inst_server.conf below:

# httpd configuration for Installation Server included by httpd.conf
<IfDefine inst_server>
    Alias /Install/ /srv/install/
    <Directory /srv/install/>

        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        IndexOptions +NameWidth=*

#        Order allow,deny
#        Allow from all
Require all granted

    </Directory>
</IfDefine>
