Apache2 un Ubuntu 7.10

As usual in any new linux distro, Apache is not installed the same way as the previous. on ubuntu, you’ll find a bunch of files and directory in /etc/apache2.
I ended searching on « how can I add the LDAP authentication module, authzn_ldap. This module is in the mods-available directory.

One solution seems to link it to mods-enabled directory.
Or you can use the (new to me) utility ‘a2enmod’, which stand for Apache2 Enable Module. you also have a2dismod to remove a module or a2dissite to remove a site (if your site conf is in the /etc/apache2/site-available directory.

I haven’t been waiting for Ubuntu to offer that as I’m doing such a thing for almost 8 years now. Moreover, and this is something I would like to release one day, all my apache vhost conf is stored in Ldap, and managed through a set of PHP pages. I just have to change the conf from the web interface and clic « dump conf », and every modified entry is dumped to the right file, and the link is made or removed automaticaly if needed.
Wait for it…
