Chapter 14. Apache HTTP Server

14.2.4.1. The

mod_ssl

Module

The configuration

for

mod_ssl

has been

moved from

httpd.conf

into

the file

/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

. For this file to be loaded, and hence for

mod_ssl

to work, you

must have the statement

Include conf.d/*.conf

in your

httpd.conf

as described in Section

14.2.1.3.

ServerName

directives in SSL virtual hosts must explicitly specify the port number.

For example, the following is a sample Apache HTTP Server 1.3 directive:

##

## SSL Virtual Host Context

##

x

VirtualHost _default_:443

y

# General setup for the virtual host

ServerName ssl.host.name

...

x

/VirtualHost

y

To migrate this setting to Apache HTTP Server 2.0, use the following structure:

##

## SSL Virtual Host Context

##

x

VirtualHost _default_:443

y

# General setup for the virtual host

ServerName ssl.host.name:443

...

x

/VirtualHost

y

14.2.4.2. The

mod_proxy

Module

Proxy access control statements are now placed inside a

Proxy

block rather than a

Directory

z

{

z

proxy:

.

{

The caching functionality of the old

mod_proxy

has been split out into the following three modules:

  mod_cache

  mod_disk_cache

  mod_file_cache

These generally use the same or similar directives as the older versions of the

mod_proxy

module.
