Description

Configure Apache HTTP Web Server by using puppetlabs-apache and setting some parameters to strict defaults.

Configuring Apache with puppetlabs-apache is easy, and most of the defaults are sane. However, some settings, especially related to SSL could be set to some stricter defaults. This module takes care of that, but still allows you to override them.

Setup

What pp_apache affects

• pp_apache uses puppetlabs-apache, and sets purge_vhost_dir to true and default_vhost to false. The mpm_module is set to prefork (to support PHP).

• In every document root, access to the folder .git is forbidden by default. This can be overrider per vhost.

Setup Requirements

• puppetlabs-apache is required.

Beginning with pp_apache
