Message after installing

To run apache www server from startup, add apache24_enable="yes"
in your /etc/rc.conf. Extra options can be found in startup script.

Your hostname must be resolvable using at least 1 mechanism in
/etc/nsswitch.conf typically DNS or /etc/hosts or apache might
have issues starting depending on the modules you are using.


- apache24 default build changed from static MPM to modular MPM
- more modules are now enabled per default in the port
- icons and error pages moved from WWWDIR to DATADIR

   If built with modular MPM and no MPM is activated in
   httpd.conf, then mpm_prefork will be activated as default
   MPM in etc/apache24/modules.d to keep compatibility with
   existing php/perl/python modules!

Please compare the existing httpd.conf with httpd.conf.sample
and merge missing modules/instructions into httpd.conf!

The default database format was changed from BerkeleyDB 5
(deprecated) from ports to BerkeleyDB 1 from base libc.

You must rebuild all your (RewriteMap) databases once after
upgrading from 2.4.62 to 2.4.62_1 or later.
