Subject: Make the upgrading doc more user-friendly by explicitly
X-Git-Tag: 2.2.1~253
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b31c2e60808efa63f85ecab6717c08fcd603b379;p=thirdparty%2Fapache%2Fhttpd.git

Make the upgrading doc more user-friendly by explicitly
stating some places where things *haven't* changed.

The statement about third-party modules could use some
review by someone who has tried some.

+    <p>The compilation process is very similar to the one used in
+    version 2.0.  Your old <code>configure</code> command line (as
+    found in <code>build/config.nice</code> in the installed server
+    directory) can be used in some cases.  The most significant change
+    required will be to account for changes in module names, in
+    particular for the authentication and authorization modules.
+    Some details of changes:</p>

     <ul>
-      <li>Upgraded to require the APR 1.0 API.</li>

       <code>apachectl start</code> to start the server.  An example
