Did the upgrade ask you if you wanted to modify this file during the configuration step? Usually, Debian packages will warn you when your upgrade may overide a locally modified file with one from the package maintainer. This step usually allows you to keep the old, your version or to show differences between the 2 files. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 12:51 PM Subject: libapache-mod-ssl and debian's apachectl script > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all. > > I'm back with yet another question, your indulgence please. > > Under slackware, when the mod_ssl package is installed, > /usr/sbin/apachectl is replaced with a script specifically modified > for ssl, which supports the starttls option.
