1.3 Date of This Document:

Minor binding for the removal.
1.5 Introduction
This FastTrack will EOL the Apache 1.3 from OpenSolaris and obsolete
Apache 1.3 interfaces in Solaris 10. As per [4]:
"The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.42 of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache"). This release is intended as the final release of
version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end of life
status."
All users should migrate to Apache 2.2 in OpenSolaris.
1.6 Previous Relevant ARC cases
LSARC/1999/542 - Including the Apache Web Server with Solaris, [1]
LSARC/2001/244 - Apache moving to SFW Consolidation, [2]
2. Technical issues
2.1 Changes to existing code
The IPP listening service used by the LP print system was written as an
Apache web server module. This module should be modified to use
Apache httpd 2.2.x in OpenSolaris / SNV, see [3].
2.2 Existing contracts
Contract between Apache httpd 1.3 and Solaris Network Cache Accelerator,
[7], will end for OpenSolaris / SNV because the interface will no more
be used (a modification of apachectl file to optionally preload
ncad_addr.so library).
2.3 Upgrade procedure for existing users of Apache httpd 1.3
Upgrading from Apache httpd 1.3 to 2 is described at [5], upgrading from
Apache httpd 2 to 2.2. is described at [6].
2.4 Risks and Assumptions
All Apache httpd users will have been updated to use Apache httpd 2.2.x
or higher by the time Solaris Next ships.
3. Documentation
Obsoleting Apache 1.3 interfaces in Solaris 10 will be announced
in release notes for Solaris 10. Apache httpd 1.3 man page (apache(1M))
in Solaris 10 needs to be updated to reflect this change. Information
about interface stability will be added and set to "Obsolete".
4. Packaging and Delivery
SUNWapchr, SUNWapchu and SUNWapchd packages will be removed from
OpenSolaris. This does mean that the renamed packages will no longer
be delivered (web/server/apache-13 and web/server/apache-13/documentation).
5. Interfaces
All the interfaces described below will be obsoleted in Solaris 10
and removed from OpenSolars / SNV.
Files inside the following directories and the directories themselves
will be removed from OpenSolaris / SNV:
/var/apache/
/etc/apache/
/usr/apache/
/usr/apache/perl5/
/usr/apache/libexec/
/usr/apache/man/
/usr/apache/htdocs/
/usr/apache/include
/usr/apache/bin/ab
/usr/apache/bin/apachectl
/usr/apache/bin/apxs
/usr/apache/bin/checkgid
/usr/apache/bin/dbmmanage
/usr/apache/bin/htdigest
/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd
/usr/apache/bin/httpd
/usr/apache/bin/logresolve
/usr/apache/bin/rotatelogs
/usr/apache/bin/suexec.disabled
The following file will be removed from OpenSolaris / SNV:
/etc/init.d/apache
