update from apache22 to apache24
I was just wondering if anyone had updated from apache22 to apache24. Specifically, are there any problems to be overcome? Does the existing httpd.conf file work with the apache24 branch. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Does the existing httpd.conf file work with the apache24 branch. httpd.conf might or might not work -- there are some incompatible changes. For example: Options -all (2.2) should become: Options none (2.4) If you use on-the-fly compression: the syntax of FilterProvider is different now. That's just two examples I've heard about. Probably the best thing to do is grab yourself a jail or a VM somewhere, install apache-2.4 and keep configtest'ing and fixing your conf until you have something that works, and that you can put on your live system when you upgrade.

I was not upgrading from 22 to 24, but as part of building a new server to do the same task went from 22 to 24. The allow/deny syntax has changed, I'm sure there are others. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: update from apache22 to apache24
The Apache site has documentation on upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4 -- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html The main change for me was the new allow/deny syntax. I've updated almost all of my Apache installs from 2.2 to 2.4 with no issues. The only installs I haven't updated yet are those using mod_evasive, since it's currently broken with 2.4 Ryan On 05/03/2013 09:47 AM, Jerry wrote: I was just wondering if anyone had updated from apache22 to apache24.

I've updated almost all of my Apache installs from 2.2 to 2.4 with no issues. Lucky you. I've just been making the change. In addition to the allow/deny syntax, the biggest change is some old modules disappear and new ones need to be added. Unfortunately I'm now getting this: Performing sanity check on apache24 configuration: Syntax OK Starting apache24. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24: WARNING: failed to start apache24 and none of the usual suspects have additional information.
