Redmine deployment delayed

I am afraid the deployment of Redmine on CodeTRAX.org will be delayed some more. This is because I am skeptical about using mod_fcgid to run two different kinds of web applications on the same web server. This software is pretty much incomplete when it comes to defining classes of applications and setting limits, like the [...]

Strange mod_dav_svn error

mod_dav_svn lets you serve subversion repositories through the Apache HTTP Server. mod_dav.so is a requirement for mod_dav_svn.so. If while setting up mod_dav_svn you see the error “undefined symbol: dav_register_provider“, make sure you check the order that the aforementioned modules are loaded. mod_dav must precede mod_dav_svn:

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

This will resolve the issue.

Use mod_deflate to Compress Web Content delivered by Apache

The compression of the web content can be done using several [...]

mod_gnutls binary for Apache

mod_gnutls is an experimental Apache module. As long as I had compiled it for the sake of the secure name-based vhosts with SNI test and since I was asked to release the compiled library in this forum post, here it goes. The following is an archived mod_gnutls installation. One word of warning: It also contains [...]

SSL-enabled Name-based Apache Virtual Hosts with mod_gnutls

This article describes how to implement SSL-enabled name-based vhosts – that is secure virtual hosts which share the same IP address and port – with the SNI-capable mod_gnutls module for Apache’s httpd web server.

.htaccess Cheat Sheet

Apache is a very flexible web server implementation. The .htaccess files give the webmasters the ability to override the default server configuration on a per-directory basis, provided that httpd’s configuration pernits the overrides of the htaccess file. I am aware that there are thousands of cheat sheets (aka ready-made recipes) out there, mostly implementing mod_rewrite conditional redirections, but I decided to bookmark this article because it is very well and carefully written.
