A few short notes about upgrading to Apache 2.2 from Apache 1.3.

I did the install. Then found all websites gave this:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /commit.php
on this server.

The issue there was this set of standard directives in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

I changed the last line from “Deny from all” to “Allow from all”.

I recomplied php5 for Apache 2.2:

portupgrade -f php5

I then had to add PHP5 directives into httpd.conf with these lines:

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache22/libphp5.so
AddModule mod_php5.c
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

I’m pretty sure I don’t need the .php3, but I’m not about to play around with that now.

I had a problem that set me back for several hours. I finally had to reconfigure my virtual hosts to look like this (shown in severely abbreviated form):

NameVirtualHost 206.127.23.229:80
NameVirtualHost 206.127.23.229:443
LISTEN 206.127.23.229:443

<VirtualHost 206.127.23.229:80>
        ServerName      papers.bsdcan.org

        Redirect        permanent / https://papers.bsdcan.org/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 206.127.23.229:443>
        ServerName      papers.bsdcan.org
</VirtualHost>

Now I think I have everything running…
