I have recently begun upgrading my httpd version 2.2 from an older server with RHEL 4 to RHEL 7 that ships with httpd version 2.4.
One of the changes I noticed, was the conf.modules.d directory that has the following files:
00-base.conf
00-dav.conf
00-lua.conf
00-mpm.conf
00-proxy.conf
00-systemd.conf
01-cgi.conf
10-php.conf
I'm unable to find documentation on the official Apache upgrade logs about the above directory changes. Do I simply find out the equivalent files from the older conf.d in version 2.2, and copy over to conf.modules.d?
But another problem then is that the newer 2.4 conf.d directory has a php.conf as well in addition to the 10-php.conf within conf.modules.d , so I don't know which file to copy over from the older 2.2 files.
What is the purpose of this new directory?
In the older version, they put the included configuration files under conf.d. Now they are under conf.modules.d.
But you cannot just copy 2.2 config to a 2.4 and expect all to work. Look at Apache Upgrading 2.2 to 2.4. There they list the changes that must be made.
The main changes are in access control, but the majority should work. I would keep the 2.4 configs as a base and integrate your site specific configurations into it.
