Apache httpd 2.2.3 vs 2.2.14

[May 9th ’13]

I happen to be working on a project that happens to be migrating from Apache httpd v2.2.3 running on CentOS to Apache httpd v2.2.14 running on Ubuntu

So far, the following are differences I have seen / observed:

  • ServerTokens – OS – DOES NOT EXIST
  • ServerRoot – /etc/httpd – /etc/apache2
  • PidFile – run/httpd.pid – ${APACHE_PID_FILE}
  • Timeout – 120 – 300
  • KeepAlive – Off – On
  • MaxKeepAliveRequests – 100 -100
  • KeepAliveTimeout – 15 -15
  • Listen – 80 – DOES NOT EXIST
  • TypesConfig – /etc/mime.types – DOES NOT EXIST
  • ServerSignature – On – DOES NOT EXIST
  • ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/var/www/cgi-bin/” – DOES NOT EXIST

IfModule – quite diff – need to read / investigate

But these are not really the issue I am having to resolve, my main issue is with FastCGI on the 2 env.

To add more spice to all the above, the app I am working with is written in Lua (which does not have a lot of google solutions out there).
