BlueOnyx 5210R: Potential Apache outage after YUM update

Last night updated base-apache RPMs were published for BlueOnyx 5210R and these potentially caused issues for 5210R.

These updates add the -t flag to the phpsendmail parameter. On 5210R these also end up in the /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/site* files, where the unescaped line ...

php_admin_value sendmail_path /usr/sausalito/sbin/phpsendmail -t

... causes Apache to fail to restart. The proper representation would be:

php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sausalito/sbin/phpsendmail -t"

Updated base-apache RPMs have been published, which fix this problem.

If you are affected and your Apache doesn't start? Run these commands to solve the issue:

yum clean all
yum update -y

That will install the fixed base-apache-* RPMs and afterwards your Apache should run again. If it doesn't? Login to the GUI (https://<hostname>:81/vsite/phpconfig ) and under "Security" / "PHP Settings" just hit "Save" without making any changes. That will force the GUI to write out fixed Apache config files and will shake things loose again.

Our sincere apologies for this oversight.
