Config File Changes in v2

Version 2.0 makes the following changes to the Config file:

  • CacheNegotiatedDocs now takes the argument on/off. Existing instances of CacheNegotiatedDocs should be given the argument on.

  • ErrorDocument <HTTP error number> "<message>" now needs quotes around the <message>, not just at the start.

  • The AccessConfig and ResourceConfig directives have been abolished. If you want to use these files, replace them by Include conf/srm.conf Include conf/access.conf in that order, and at the end of the Config file.

  • The BindAddress directive has been abolished. Use Listen.

  • The ExtendedStatus directive has been abolished.

  • The ServerType directive has been abolished.

  • The AgentLog, ReferLog, and ReferIgnore directives have been removed along with the mod_log_agent and mod_log_referer modules. Agent and referer logs are still available using the CustomLog directive.

  • The AddModule and ClearModule directives have been abolished. A very useful point is that Apache v2 does not care about the order in which DSOs are loaded.
