apache-conf-2.2.9-2.2mdv2009.0.src.rpm

The most significant changes with this release compared to apache up to
Mandriva Linux 2006.0.

 o The commonhttpd.conf and httpd2.conf configuration (10.0/10.1) 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
   are provided so it will become easier to determine the possible changes the
   user (you?) might have done. Use something like this to utilize this:
   
   # urpmi diffutils
   
   # diff -u /usr/share/doc/apache-conf-*/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-*/old_config/commonhttpd.conf-10.0 \
   /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.rpmsave > /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.diff

   # diff -u /usr/share/doc/apache-conf-*/old_config/httpd.conf-2006.0 \
   /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmsave > /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.diff

A word of advice regarding one obvious security issue. Since mod_access has
been renamed to mod_authz_host every directory instance referring to mod_access
will be invalid. If you have content secured like that please review your
configuration. mod_access.c has changed to mod_authz_host.c. The new initscript
should be able to trap this and prevent the server from starting.

Please read the following files for more in-depth information about the changes
in apache 2.2; upgrading.txt and new_features_2_2.txt


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.
