Bug Description

After installing and enabling proxy_html (libapache2-mod-proxy-html) on a fresh 12.04 server install, we get the following error :

root@herbert:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_html.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
   ...fail!

libxml2 is installed, but as on amd64 architecture, the libxml2 file is in :
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2

The solution consists of changing in /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_html.load
LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
into :
LoadFile /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2

My solution was to change the line to:
LoadFile /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2

navigating to /usr/lib and issuing a sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 libxml2.so.2 fixed this for me, and for anything else that will rely on libxml2 as well. Maybe this is an issue with libxml, and not mod-proxy-html?
