When checking for required Apache modules the inst/htprobe_apache2.pl fails to slurp up additional apache conf files defined within httpd.conf which may result in Bricolage failing to find a required but installed module.

This problem occurred for me with both Centos 5.4 and Ubuntu 9.10 when checking mod_apreq2. I'm currently working with a vanilla Bricolage 2.0 install.

I've attached a patch which addresses the issue.

Your patch is a start, but it might find non-httpd configuration files and perhaps parse errors. Better would be to recognize the `Include` directive in the initial file and pull in and parse such files.

Just MHO.

David,

The current htprobe_apache2.pl locates the httpd.conf then looks for the Include directive but fails to pull in those confs if the include directive value is a relative path. The patch just tries to convert the relative path to an absolute path using the HTTPD_ROOT as a prefix to the Include directive value.

Oh, that seems to make sense. Hell, I think it should probably be considered a bug fix.

Thanks!
