  • [GH-204] mod_auth_openid: Added apache.mod_auth_openid.version attribute

  • FreeBSD support has been improved with the release of chef 11.14.2, portsnap is no longer used in favor of pkgng.

  • [GH-157] - Apache will only be started when a configuration test passes, this allows the chef run to fix any broken configuration without failing the chef run.

  • apache.log_dir directory is now 0755 on all platforms (including the debian platform family)

  • [GH-166, GH-173] - conf.d is no longer used and replaced by conf-available and conf-enabled managed via the a2enconf and a2disconf scripts

  • [GH-166, GH-173] - All configuration files need to end in .conf for them to be loaded

  • [GH-173] - Perl is a required package on all platforms to support the a2* scripts as we now use the debian versions directly.

  • [GH-193] - per MPM settings: maxclients is now maxrequestworkers

  • [GH-194] - per MPM settings: maxrequestsperchild is now maxconnectionsperchild

  • [GH-161] - Added support for CentOS 7

  • [GH-180] - Improved SuSE support

  • [GH-100] - Apache HTTP 2.4 support
    This provides Apache 2.4 support in a backwards compatible way.
    It adds the following new attributes:

    • apache.version - This defaults to 2.2 and if changed to 2.4; it triggers and assumes 2.4 packages will be installed.
    • apache.mpm - In 2.4 mode, this specifies which mpm to install. Default is prefork.
    • apache.run_dir
    • apache.lock_dir
    • apache.libexec_dir replaces apache.libexecdir
    • apache.prefork.maxrequestworkers replaces apache.prefork.maxclients
    • apache.prefork.maxconnectionsperchild replaces apache.prefork.maxrequestsperchild
    • apache.worker.threadlimit
    • apache.worker.maxrequestworkers replaces apache.worker.maxclients
    • apache.worker.maxconnectionsperchildreplaces apache.worker.maxrequestsperchild
    • apache.event.startservers
    • apache.event.serverlimit
    • apache.event.minsparethreads
    • apache.event.maxsparethreads
    • apache.event.threadlimit
    • apache.event.threadsperchild
    • apache.event.maxrequestworkers
    • apache.event.maxconnectionsperchild
    • apache.itk.startservers
    • apache.itk.minspareservers
    • apache.itk.maxspareservers
    • apache.itk.maxrequestworkers
    • apache.itk.maxconnectionsperchild

    Apache 2.4 Upgrade Notes:

    Since the changes between apache 2.2 and apache 2.4 are pretty significant, we are unable to account for all changes needed for your upgrade. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Apache Software Foundation provided upgrade documentation before attempting to use this cookbook with apache 2.4. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

    • This cookbook does not automatically specify which version of apache to install. We are at the mercy of the package provider. It is important, however, to make sure that you configure the apache.version attribute to match. For your convenience, we try to set reasonable defaults based on different platforms in our test suite.
    • mod_proxy - In 2.4 mode, apache.proxy.order, apache.proxy.deny_from, apache.proxy.allow_from are ignored, as the attributes can not be supported in a backwards compatible way. Please use apache.proxy.require instead.
