The most significant changes with this release compared to apache2 up to
Mandriva Limited Edition 2005.
o Less cruft in the apache initscript.
o No more switching magic between apache v2.x and apache v1.x.
o The /etc/httpd/conf.d directory has been renamed to /etc/httpd/modules.d
and should contain only module specific configuration files.
o The /etc/httpd/webapps.d directory has been moved to
/etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d
o A new /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts.d directory has been added, you
should simply drop virtual host configuration files in this directory
and restart apache.
o More standardized and secured configuration:
.htaccess files are not considered anymore. If you currently have content
secured this way you must activate .htaccess restrictions per directory
before firing up this release of apache, otherwise anyone can access your
data. http://localhost/~username style access is unaffected by this. If
you need it simply install it. (urpmi apache-mod_userdir)
o The commonhttpd.conf and httpd2.conf configuration files has been merged
into the single /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Make sure you review your
old configuration files and make nessesary changes to the single httpd.conf
configuration file or elsewhere where suited. The old config files is
provided so it will become easier to determine the possible changes the user
might have done. Use something like this to utilize this:
# urpmi diffutils
# diff -u /usr/share/doc/apache-conf-2.0.54/old_config/httpd2.conf-10.0 \
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf.rpmsave > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf.diff
# diff -u /usr/share/doc/apache-conf-2.0.54/old_config/commonhttpd.conf-10.0 \
/etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.rpmsave > /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.diff
o The default start page simply says "It works!".
o A new /etc/httpd/conf/fileprotector.conf configuration file was added to
protect various types of web code from theft in case of murphy's law.
The best practise is to read the apache manual before sending in bugreports,
please install apache-doc like so:
# urpmi apache-doc
and then read the somewhat localized online apache manual at:
http://localhost/manual/
Thanks in advance.
