Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
In order to assist folks upgrading, we maintain a document
describing information critical to existing Apache HTTP Server 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. Application and module developers
can find a summary of API changes in the API updates overview.
This document describes changes in server behavior that might require you to change your configuration or how you use the server in order to continue using 2.4 as you are currently using 2.2. To take advantage of new features in 2.4, see the New Features document.
This document describes only the changes from 2.2 to 2.4. If you are upgrading from version 2.0, you should also consult the 2.0 to 2.2 upgrading document.
Compile-Time Configuration Changes Run-Time Configuration Changes Misc Changes Third Party Modules Common problems when upgrading
The compilation process is very similar to the one used in
version 2.2. Your old configure command line (as
found in build/config.nice in the installed server
directory) can be used in most cases. There are some changes in
the default settings. Some details of changes:
mod_cache_disk in
2.4.mod_lbmethod_bybusyness. You might need
to build and load any of these that your configuration
uses.LoadModule directives are commented
out in the configuration file.
