Ubuntu Specifics

Web site configuration

Directory containing server descriptions is:

/etc/apache2/conf-available

Apache

Apache is a highly extensible web server. This is acomplished by loadable modules available through packages. Some of them are installed by default (but may need to be enabled). Others must be manually installed.

• Server control

  Command to control the Apache server is:

  apache2ctl
  

  For instance, restarting the server is done with:

  $ apache2ctl restart
• Making LXR active

  Once you have copied configuration file apache-lxrserver.conf into the Apache configuration directory, you must tell Apache to take it into consideration. The commands are:

  $ sudo cp custom.d/apache-lxrserver.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available $ sudo a2enconf apache-lxrserver.conf

  Of course, restart the server after this step.

• Module mod_version Reported at least for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  Module mod_version is present in standard distribution but not enabled. To enable it, run the following command before restarting the server:

  $ sudo a2enmod version
• Module mod_mpm_worker Reported for Ubuntu 14.04, not an issue for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  Ensure you have the latest version of the mod_mpm_worker module. For that, disable all MPM-related modules, install the latest package, enable the new module and restart the server.

  $ sudo a2dismod mpm* $ sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker $ sudo a2enmod mpm_worker CAUTION! In the above commands, pay a special attention to the mixture of dash (-) and underscore (_) characters.
