Because of the path differences between 32 and 64 bit installations,
we need to have 2 default .conf files.
I suggest the following names.
httpd.conf --> 32 bit
httpd.64.conf --> 64 bit
To support out-of-the box 64-bit server startup, we should
make sure that the server loads the 64 bit specific config file.
Below, I have listed the ways (in the order of preference) in which we can
handle this.
1. Provide a patch to manipulate the configure script to set
SERVER_CONFIG_FILE to {progname}.64.conf. During post install, rename
httpd.conf to httpd.64.conf .
This way program name (httpd) will remain the same for 64 and 32 bit
installations but the default .conf file names will vary.
2. Modify 64 bit apachectl script start option to include "-f
/etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.64.conf" .
But, this option should be included only when the user has not specified it.
3. compile 64 bit Apache with "--with-program-name" option and specify httpd.64
as
the program name. This will change both the server application name and the
config file name.
This option not preferred as it changes the program name.
