The easiest way to do this is to replace the existing LoadModule statements with the ones in /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf. Apache 2.2 has a significantly redesigned default configuration: it has been greatly simplified by removing all but the most essential configuration settings. A set of example configuration settings for more advanced features is present in the /etc/apache2/extra/ directory. Furthermore, the naming scheme of the pristine default configuration files has changed: Instead of /etc/apache2/httpd-std.conf, there is now /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf, and similarly for other files. ======================================================================= Additionally, in Cygwin-local news: * mod_proxy and its sub-modules are now included in the build, by user request. * mod_ssl is now included in the build. I haven't received any user requests for this one, but I figure it's popular enough that someone will definitely want it eventually. Please address requests for the inclusion of any additional modules contained within the Apache httpd distribution itself to cygwin (at) cygwin (dot) com.
