phpldapadmin uses old /etc/apache2/conf.d subdirectory

[J. Greene]

phpldapadmin configuration still uses old /etc/apache2/conf.d and not the /etc/apache2/conf-available directory schema.

WORKAROUND

Make a symbolic link connecting the existing but new /etc/apache2/conf-enabled for an older /etc/apache2/conf.d

  # apt-get remove phpldapadmin
  # cd /etc/apache2
  # ln -s conf-enabled conf.d
  # apt-get install phpldapadmin

DONT FORGET TO DELETE THE SYMBOLIC LINK AFTER INSTALLING phpldapadmin. YMMV.

  # rm /etc/apache2/conf.d

J. Greene (jgreene) please what that's mean Make a symbolic link connecting the existing but new /etc/apache2/conf-enabled for an older /etc/apache2/conf.d
