<title>Apache Migration HOWTO</title>

<abstract>

<para>This HOWTO covers the migration of &distro; web servers from
Apache 1.3 packages to Apache 2.0 packages.  It
explains the relevant differences between the 1.3 and 2.0 packages,
and describes the process required to migrate your server's
configuration from 1.3 to 2.0.</para>

</abstract>
</articleinfo>

<sect1>
<title>Naming and filesystem changes</title>

<sect2>
<title>Packaging changes</title>

<para>When using RPM to administer your system you should be aware
that some packages have been renamed, some have been incorporated into
others, and some have been deprecated.  The major changes are that the
<literal>apache</literal>, <literal>apache-devel</literal> and
<literal>apache-manual</literal> packages have been renamed as
&httpd;, <literal>httpd-devel</literal> and
<literal>httpd-manual</literal>, and that the
<literal>mod_dav</literal> package has been incorporated into the
&httpd; package.</para>

<para>A complete breakdown of the packaging changes can be found in
<xref linkend="pkgchanges"/>.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2>
<title>Filesystem changes</title>

<para>The single major change to the filesystem layout is that there
is now a directory, <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d</filename>, into which
the configuration files for individually packaged modules (&mod_ssl;,
<literal>php</literal>, &mod_perl; and so on) are placed.  The server
is instructed to load configuration files from this location by the
directive <literal>Include conf.d/*.conf</literal> within
<filename>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</filename>, so it is vital that
this line be inserted when migrating an existing configuration.</para>

<para>Of the many minor changes, the most important to be aware of are
that the utility programs <command>ab</command> and
<command>logresolve</command> have been moved from
<filename>/usr/sbin</filename> to <filename>/usr/bin</filename>, which
will cause scripts with absolute paths to these binaries to fail; the
&dbmmanage; command has been replaced by &htdbm; (see <xref
linkend="mod_auth_dbm"/>); the logrotate configuration file has been
renamed from <filename>/etc/logrotate.d/apache</filename> to
<filename>/etc/logrotate.d/httpd</filename>.</para>

</sect2>
</sect1>

<sect1>
<title>Migrating your configuration</title>

<para>If you have upgraded your server from a previous version of 
&distro; upon which Apache was installed then the stock configuration
file from the Apache 2.0 package will have been created as
<filename>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmnew</filename>, leaving your
original &httpdconf; untouched.  It is, of course, entirely up to you
whether you use the new configuration file and migrate your old
settings to it, or use your existing file as a base and modify it to
suit, however some parts of the file have changed more than others and
a mixed approach is generally the best.  The stock configuration files
for both 1.3 and 2.0 are divided into three sections, and for each of
these this document will suggest what is hopefully the easiest
route.</para>

<para>If your &httpdconf; has been modified from the default configuration
and you have saved a copy of the original then you may find the
<command>diff</command> command comes in handy.  Invoked as:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
diff -u httpd.conf.orig httpd.conf | less
</programlisting>
</informalexample>

for example, it will highlight the modifications you have made.  If
you do not have a copy of the original file all is not lost, since it
is possible to extract it from an RPM package using the
<command>rpm2cpio</command> and <command>cpio</command> commands, for
example:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
rpm2cpio apache-1.3.23-11.i386.rpm | cpio -i --make
</programlisting>
</informalexample>

Finally, it is useful to know that Apache has a testing mode to check
your configuration for errors.  This may be invoked as:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
apachectl configtest
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
</para>

<sect2>
<title>Global Environment</title>

<para>The global environment section of the configuration file
contains directives which affect the overall operation of Apache, such
as the number of concurrent requests it can handle and the locations of
the various files it uses.  This section requires a large number of
changes compared with the others and it is therefore recommended that
you base this section on the Apache 2.0 configuration file and migrate
your old settings into it.</para>

<sect3>
<title>Selecting which interfaces and ports to bind to</title>

<para>The <literal>BindAddress</literal> and <literal>Port</literal>
directives no longer exist: their functionality is now provided by a
more flexible <literal>Listen</literal> directive.</para>

<para>If you had set <literal>Port 80</literal> you should change it
to <literal>Listen 80</literal> instead.  If you had set
<literal>Port</literal> to some other value then you should also
append the port number to the contents of your
<literal>ServerName</literal> directive:</para>

<example>
<title>Apache 1.3 port configuration</title>
<programlisting>
Port 123
ServerName www.example.com
</programlisting>
</example>
<example>
<title>Equivalent Apache 2.0 port configuration</title>
<programlisting>
<emphasis role="bold">Listen</emphasis> 123
ServerName www.example.com<emphasis role="bold">:123</emphasis>
</programlisting>
</example>

<title>Server-pool size regulation</title>

<para>In Apache 2.0, the responsibility for accepting requests and
dispatching children to handle them has been abstracted into a group
of modules called Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs); the original Apache
1.3 behaviour has now been moved into the &prefork; MPM.</para>

<para>The MPM used by default on &distro; is &prefork; which
accepts the same directives (<literal>StartServers</literal>,
<literal>MinSpareServers</literal>,
<literal>MaxSpareServers</literal>, <literal>MaxClients</literal> and
<literal>MaxRequestsPerChild</literal>) as Apache 1.3 and as such the
values of these directives may be migrated across directly.</para>

<para>An alternative, thread-based MPM called &worker; is also available;
to use this MPM, add the line:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
HTTPD=/usr/sbin/httpd.worker
</programlisting>
</informalexample>

to the file <filename>/etc/sysconfig/httpd</filename>.</para>

<sect3 id="dsosupport">
<title>Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support</title>

<para>There are many changes required here and it is highly
recommended that anyone trying to modify an Apache 1.3 configuration
to suit Apache 2.0 (as opposed to migrating your changes into the
Apache 2.0 configuration) simply copy this section from the stock 
&distro; Apache 2.0 configuration.  If you do decide to try and
modify your original file, please note that it is of paramount
importance that your &httpdconf; contains the following directive:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
#
# Load config files from the config directory "/etc/httpd/conf.d".
#
Include conf.d/*.conf
</programlisting>
</informalexample>

Omission of this directive will result in the failure of all modules
packaged in their own RPMs (&mod_ssl;, <literal>php</literal>,
&mod_perl; and the like).</para>

<para>Those who still don't want to simply copy the section from the
stock Apache 2.0 configuration should note the following:</para>

<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para>The <literal>AddModule</literal> and
<literal>ClearModuleList</literal> directives no longer exist. These
directives where used to ensure that modules could be enabled in the
correct order. The new Apache 2.0 API allows modules to explicitly
specify their ordering, eliminating the need for these
directives.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>The order of the <literal>LoadModule</literal> lines
is thus no longer relevant.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Many modules have been added, removed, renamed, split
up, or incorporated with each other.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><literal>LoadModule</literal> lines for modules
packaged in their own RPMs (&mod_ssl;, <literal>php</literal>,
&mod_perl; and the like) are no longer necessary as they can be found
in the relevant file in the directory
<filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d</filename>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>The various <literal>HAVE_XXX</literal> definitions
are no longer defined.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

</sect3>

<sect3>
<title>Other changes</title>

<para>The <literal>ServerType</literal> directive has been removed in
Apache 2.0 which can only be run as <literal>ServerType
standalone</literal>.</para>

<para>The <literal>AccessConfig</literal> and
<literal>ResourceConfig</literal> directives have been removed since
they mirror the functionality of the <literal>Include</literal>
directive.  If you have <literal>AccessConfig</literal> and
<literal>ResourceConfig</literal> directives set then you need to
replace these with <literal>Include</literal> directives.  To ensure
that the files are read in the order implied by the older directives
the <literal>Include</literal> directives should be placed at the end
of &httpdconf;, with the one corresponding to
<literal>ResourceConfig</literal> preceding the one corresponding to
<literal>AccessConfig</literal>.  If you were making use of the
default values you will need to include them explicitly as
<filename>conf/srm.conf</filename> and
<filename>conf/access.conf</filename>.</para>

</sect3>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="mainserverconfig">
<title>Main server configuration</title>

<para>The main server configuration section of the configuration file
sets up the main server, which responds to any requests that aren't
handled by a <literal>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</literal> definition.
Values here also provide defaults for any
<literal>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</literal> containers you may
define.</para>

<para>The directives used in this section have changed little between
Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0, so if your main server configuration is
heavily customised you may find it easier to modify your existing
configuration to suit Apache 2.0.  Users with only lightly customised
main server sections are recommended to migrate their changes into the
stock Apache 2.0 configuration.</para>

<sect3>
<title>UserDir mapping</title>

<para>The <literal>UserDir</literal> directive is used to enable URLs
such as <filename>http://example.com/~jim/</filename> to map to a
directory in the home directory of the user <literal>jim</literal>,
such as <filename>/home/jim/public_html</filename>.  A side-effect of
this feature allows a potential attacker to determine whether a given
username is present on the system, so the default configuration for
Apache 2.0 does not enable <literal>UserDir</literal>.</para>

<para>To enable <literal>UserDir</literal> mapping, change the
directive: 
<informalexample>
<programlisting>
UserDir disable
</programlisting>
</informalexample> 
to
<informalexample>
<programlisting>
UserDir public_html
</programlisting>
</informalexample> 
in <filename>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</filename>.</para>

<title>Directory Indexing</title>

<para>The deprecated <literal>FancyIndexing</literal> directive has
now been removed. The same functionality is available through the
<literal>FancyIndexing</literal> option to the
<literal>IndexOptions</literal> directive.</para>

<para>The new <literal>VersionSort</literal> option to the
<literal>IndexOptions</literal> directive causes files containing
version numbers to be sorted in the natural way, so that
<filename>apache-1.3.9.tar</filename> would appear before
<filename>apache-1.3.12.tar</filename> in a directory index page.</para>

<para>The defaults for the <literal>ReadmeName</literal> and

<filename>README</filename> and <filename>HEADER</filename> to

<title>Error Documents</title>

<para>To use a hard-coded message with the
<literal>ErrorDocument</literal> directive, the message should be
enclosed in a pair of double quotes, rather than just preceded by a
double quote as required in Apache 1.3.  For instance, change:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
ErrorDocument 404 "The document was not found
</programlisting>
</informalexample> 
to
<informalexample>
<!-- " character might not come out in bold depending on font, oh well -->

<title>Default Character Set</title>

<para>The default character set which will be sent in a
<literal>Content-Type</literal> header has changed from previous
versions.  By default, the configuration in &distro; uses a UTF-8
locale, the default character set used in &httpdconf; is now
<literal>utf-8</literal>, rather than the previous default of
<literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>.</para>

<para>To configure the server to use a default character set of
ISO-8859-1 if migrating non-UTF-8 content, change:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
</programlisting>
</informalexample> 

to

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
AddDefaultCharset <emphasis role="bold">ISO-8859-1</emphasis>
</programlisting>
</informalexample></para>

</sect3>
</sect2>

<sect2>
<title>Virtual Hosts</title>

<para>The contents of all <literal>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</literal>
containers should be migrated in the same way as the main server
section as described in <xref linkend="mainserverconfig"/>.  Note that
the SSL virtual host context has been moved into the file
<filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf</filename>.</para>

<sect2 id="modules">
<title>Modules</title>

<para>In Apache 2.0 the module system has been changed to allow
modules to be chained together to combine them in new and interesting
ways.  CGI scripts, for example, can generate server-parsed HTML
documents which can then be processed by &mod_include;.  The
possibilities are only limited by the bounds of your
imagination.</para>

<para>The way this actually works is that each request is served by
exactly one <emphasis>handler</emphasis> module followed by zero or
more <emphasis>filter</emphasis> modules.  Under Apache 1.3, for
example, a PHP script would be handled entirely by the PHP
module; under Apache 2.0 the request is initially
<emphasis>handled</emphasis> by the core module (which serves static
files) and subsequently <emphasis>filtered</emphasis> by the PHP
module.</para>

<para>Exactly how to use this (and all the other new features of
Apache 2.0 for that matter) is beyond the scope of this document,
however the change has ramifications if you have used PATH_INFO
(trailing path information after the true filename) in a document
which is handled by a module that is now implemented as a filter.  The
core module, which initially handles the request, does not by default
understand PATH_INFO and will serve 404 Not Found errors for requests
that have it.  The <literal>AcceptPathInfo</literal> directive can be
used to coerce the core module into accepting requests with PATH_INFO:

<informalexample>
<programlisting>
AcceptPathInfo on
</programlisting>
</informalexample>

<title>mod_ssl</title>

<para>The configuration for &mod_ssl; has been moved from &httpdconf;
into the file <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf</filename>.  For
this file to be loaded, and hence for &mod_ssl; to work, you must have
the statement <literal>Include conf.d/*.conf</literal> in your
&httpdconf; as described in <xref linkend="dsosupport"/>.</para>

<para><literal>ServerName</literal> directives in SSL virtual hosts
must explicitly specify the port number:</para>

<example>
<title>Apache 1.3 SSL virtual host configuration</title>
<programlisting>

<title>mod_auth_dbm and mod_auth_db</title>

<para>Apache 1.3 supported two authentication modules, &mod_auth_db;
and &mod_auth_dbm;, which used Berkeley Databases and DBM databases
respectively.  These modules have been combined into a single module
named &mod_auth_dbm; in Apache 2.0, which can access several different
database formats.  To migrate from &mod_auth_db; in Apache 1.3,
configuration files should be adjusted by replacing
<literal>AuthDBUserFile</literal> and
<literal>AuthDBGroupFile</literal> with the &mod_auth_dbm; equivalents
<literal>AuthDBMUserFile</literal> and
<literal>AuthDBMGroupFile</literal>, and the directive
<literal>AuthDBMType DB</literal> should be added to indicate the type
of database file in use.</para>

<para><xref linkend="authex1"/> shows a sample &mod_auth_db;
configuration for Apache 1.3, and <xref linkend="authex2"/> shows how
it would be migrated to Apache 2.0.  Note that the

<title>PHP</title>

<para>The configuration for PHP has been moved from &httpdconf; into
the file <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf</filename>.  For this
file to be loaded, and hence for PHP to work, you must have the
statement <literal>Include conf.d/*.conf</literal> in your &httpdconf;
as described in <xref linkend="dsosupport"/>.</para>

<para>In PHP 4.2.0 and later the default set of predefined variables
which are available in the global scope has changed. Individual input
and server variables are by default no longer placed directly into the
global scope; rather, they are placed into a number superglobal
arrays.  This change may cause scripts to break, and you may revert to
the old behaviour globally by setting
<literal>register_globals</literal> to <literal>On</literal> in the
file <filename>/etc/php.ini</filename> or more selectivly by using
<literal>php_value register_globals 1</literal> in your &httpdconf; or
in <filename>.htaccess</filename> files.</para>

<para>As of the <literal>php-4.3.6-5</literal> package, the default
<filename>/etc/php.ini</filename> has also changed: it is now based on
the <filename>php.ini-recommended</filename> defaults included in PHP
releases, rather than the <filename>php.ini-dist</filename> defaults
as used previously.  Notable differences are that:

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><simpara>display_errors is now <emphasis>Off</emphasis></simpara></listitem>
<listitem><simpara>log_errors now <emphasis>On</emphasis></simpara></listitem>

<title>mod_perl</title>

<para>The configuration for &mod_perl; has been moved from &httpdconf;
into the file <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf</filename>.  For
this file to be loaded, and hence for &mod_perl; to work, you must
have the statement <literal>Include conf.d/*.conf</literal> in your
&httpdconf; as described in <xref linkend="dsosupport"/>.</para>

<para>Occurances of <literal>Apache::</literal> in your &httpdconf;
must be replaced with <literal>ModPerl::</literal>.  Additionally, the
manner in which handlers are registered has been changed, for
example:</para>

<example>
<title>Apache 1.3 &mod_perl; configuration</title>
<programlisting>
&lt;Directory /var/www/perl&gt;
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</programlisting>
</example>

<example>
<title>Equivalent Apache 2.0 &mod_perl; configuration</title>
<programlisting>
&lt;Directory /var/www/perl&gt;
    SetHandler perl-script
    <emphasis role="bold">PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry</emphasis>
    Options +ExecCGI
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</programlisting>
</example>

<para>Most modules for &mod_perl; 1.x should work without modification
with &mod_perl; 2.x.  XS modules will require recompilation and may
possibly require minor Makefile modifications.</para>

<title>Apache 1.3 suexec configuration</title>
<programlisting>

    Group somegroup
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
