4. Technical Description
Apache 2.2 config samples directory structure
Background:
PSARC/2007/586 "Including Apache 2.2.6 with Solaris" approved the
integration of Apache 2.2.6 into Nevada with the following
configuration directory structure (later PSARC/2008/118 updated Apache
to 2.2.8):
/etc/apache2/[version]
/conf.d/
/original/
/original/extra/
As a recap, the contents under /etc/apache2/[version]/original/extra
directory were delivered as-is from the Apache distribution and these
files are never read by the server. They are there as examples only.
This location has proven confusing and users find it hard to find the
example configuration files. Furthermore, since these files were
delivered as-is, not all of them necessarily even work in OpenSolaris.
This led to even more confusion when users attempted to copy them
into the config directory and found that didn't work.
To improve the user experience, this project creates a new directory,
"samples-conf.d", under /etc/apache2/[version] directory. It will
contain the sample configuration files with any and all necessary
OpenSolaris-specific modifications. This will enable the user to use
them by simply copying them to conf.d directory.
This project removes the redundant
/etc/apache2/[version]/original/extra/ directory.
