It's not a bug. It's the fact that the semicolon character is treated the same as a newline, in that it separates commands. This is a Tcl language feature.

If you want a semicolon, either surround the entire value with double-quotes, or use a backslash to escape the semicolon.

Sure, it's a bug with MacPorts.

But you can usually fix it by replacing the semicolon with an &.

Apache generally understand this character as a parameter separator.


Thanks for the tip; I didn't even think to try that. That works great.


Still, we should probably fix the bug...
