[Pkg-sql-ledger-discussion] Bug#819481: ledgersmb: Installation of ledgersmb breaks apache2 unless rewrite module is enabled

[Oliver Elphick]

Package: ledgersmb
Version: 1.3.46-1
Severity: normal

After installation of ledgersmb, apache2 fails to start:

Mar 29 11:02:25 phoenix apache2[4079]: Starting web server: apache2 failed!
Mar 29 11:02:25 phoenix apache2[4079]: The apache2 configtest failed. ...
(warning).
Mar 29 11:02:25 phoenix apache2[4079]: Output of config test was:
Mar 29 11:02:25 phoenix apache2[4079]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 9 of
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ledgersmb.c
Mar 29 11:02:25 phoenix apache2[4079]: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps
misspelled or defined by a modu

The solution is to do:

# a2enmod rewrite

The ledgersmb package ought to do this automatically.
