Apache HTTP Server Version 2.1
Apache HTTP Server Version 2.1
In order to assist folks upgrading, we maintain a document
describing information critical to existing Apache users. These
are intended to be brief notes, and you should be able to find
more information in either the New Features document, or in
the src/CHANGES file.
This document describes only the changes from 2.0 to 2.2. If you are upgrading from version 1.3, you should also consult the 1.3 to 2.0 upgrading document.
httpd.conf distributed with the
Apache HTTP Server has been greatly simplified by removing all
but the most essential configuration settings. A set of example
configuration settings for more advanced features is present in
the conf/extra/ directory of the installed
server.apachectl option
startssl is no longer available. To enable ssl
support, you should edit httpd.conf to include the
relevant mod_ssl directives and then use
apachectl start to start the server. An example
configuration to activate mod_ssl has been included
in conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf.UseCanonicalName is now
Off. If you did not have this directive in your
config file, you can add UseCanonicalName On to
retain the old behavior.mod_userdir will no longer act
on requests unless a UserDir directive specifying a
directory name is present in the config file. To restore the
old default behavior, place the directive UserDir
public_html in your config file.
