There is distribution with 2.4 rpm compiled by me with provided spec. Syntax differs from 2.2 ... Fedora 18 has. RHELv7 is announced to be available this fall, it will have. So it was just question.
Hi Till, What happens if I install this, make the required changes (such as AUTH is different) and then later upgrade ISPconfig? Does ISPConfig re-install Apache 2.2?
ISPConfig odes not install any software. If you change sourcecode of a software and install a update of that sotware, the update will overwrite your custom changes.
Wow wow !!! Just saw in Roadmap that you have added plans to support Apache 2.4 in next minor release. Does it mean that ISPconfig will support at least new mod_proxy_fcgi for better PHP-FPM integration? Help old FastCGI die Of course we understand that such additions will make release available not so soon.
there is bug with apache 2.4.x mod_proxy/mod_proxy_fcgi right now doesn't support unix sockets to connect with php-fpm, only tcp. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54101 http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHP-FPM
For 3.0.5.4 we plan to support the same features that are available for apache 2.2 in ISPConfg, so basically we will add code to support the new config syntax. mod_proxy_fcgi is not on our roadmap yet. Feel free to make a feature request for it in the bugtracker, in case that there is no such requestyet (havent checked it).
Is it possible to "cherry-pick" the already completed task into an existing 3.0.5.3 installation? I had to upgrade an OpenSUSE 12.3 box, and in the next distro release 13.1 there's no Apache 2.2 available anymore. Thanks.
No, thats not possible. But 3.0.5.4 will get released soon anyway. If OpenSuSE has a apache compat module like debian, then apache 2.4 should work with ispconfig 3.0.5.3 as well.
It might be that the com´pat module s installed by default and you just have to enable it. This is the module I refer to: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_access_compat.html which makes apache 2.4 compatible with the "old" apache syntax used by ispconfig 3.0.5.3.
Indeed. It's compiled in statically. Code: idefix:~ # apache2ctl -M|grep access access_compat_module (static) Upgraded a OpenSUSE 12.3 box to 13.1 just now, and it seems to run smooth until now. Some "Options" directives had to be altered (all Options must have a + or - sign in front of it, or no option must have it, but not mixed), and "a2enmod socache_shmcb" was necessary. That's all.
