Comment 59 for bug 1832182

Sounds like the maintainers have Mozilla'd everything up (not fix an important bug for years then finally go with a potentially frustrating solution) for some of you here. You may want to use the Apache2 PPA repo of the Debian/Ubuntu PHP maintainer Ondřej Surý instead of using this hot mess, like I have for the past few years, since I find that I need it for PHP anyway. You still may have to alter your init script as I did in my patch above. The PPA homepage and usage instructions can be found at: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/apache2/
