  Apache 2.4 Upgrade Notes:

  Since the changes between apache 2.2 and apache 2.4 are pretty significant, we are unable to account for all changes needed for your upgrade. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Apache Software Foundation provided upgrade documentation before attempting to use this cookbook with apache 2.4. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

  • This cookbook does not automatically specify which version of apache to install. We are at the mercy of the package provider. It is important, however, to make sure that you configure the apache.version attribute to match. For your convenience, we try to set reasonable defaults based on different platforms in our test suite.
  • mod_proxy - In 2.4 mode, apache.proxy.order, apache.proxy.deny_from, apache.proxy.allow_from are ignored, as the attributes can not be supported in a backwards compatible way. Please use apache.proxy.require instead.
