.SH DESCRIPTION

.sp

.LP

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 (Apache 2) consists of a main  server daemon,

loadable server modules,  some additional  support utilities, configuration

files, and documentation.

.sp

.LP

Note Apache 2.4 is 64-bit only and Apache 2.2 modules are not

binary compatible with 2.4.

.sp

Several Apache 2 modules are bundled in separate packages to reduce number of

dependencies of main package. These are:

.nf

web/server/apache-24/apache-dbd

web/server/apache-24/apache-ldap

web/server/apache-24/apache-lua

.fi

.in -2

.sp

Apache 2 can be enabled by authorized user within the service

management facility (SMF), using the following fault management

resource identifier (FMRI):

.sp

.in +2

.nf

svc:/network/http:apache24

.fi

.in -2

.sp

Available SMF properties are listed in the following table:

.sp

.TS

tab(^G) allbox;

cw(2.750000i)| cw(2.750000i)

lw(2.750000i)| lw(2.750000i).

Contains server configuration files. A newly-installed server

contains a default \fBhttpd.conf\fR file. This is the main configuration file.

.sp

If there is need to use different main configuration file (e.g. to run

multiple Apache 2 instances), it's possible by providing Apache '-f'

option via SMF property httpd/startup_options.

File for specifying the environment settings which the server uses at

startup. This is the user-editable version of the 

/usr/apache2/[version]/bin/envvars file.

configuration file is in directory /etc/apache2/[version]/. If this

is not the case Apache 2 will look for envvars file in the same

directory where is main configuration file.
