<DIV>PREAMBLE</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>xsce has an httpd-xs.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf, which is a customized
version of httpd.conf. It gets used because /etc/sysconfig/httpd has a
clause OPTIONS= -f conf/httpd-xs.conf.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Except that in the ansible install /etc/sysconfig/httpd doesn’t get
set.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>httpd-xs.conf is definitely needed, because it has a lot of settings not in
the stock httpd.conf. But because it replaces httpd.conf it also has lots
of stock settings that are not unique to xsce.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>NOW THEREFORE</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We either need to modify ansible to set /etc/sysconfig/httpd or we need to
put httpd-xs.conf into /etc/httpd/conf.d and have in contain only the settings
we care about for xsce. In the first approach we have basically taken
ownership of all settings for httpd. In the latter we have only taken
ownership of the settings that are different in xsce, but we could get problems
where settings accumulate rather than override (such as listen).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So what’s the answer?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>btw while we are at it we should clean up the httpd-xs, xs-httpd, xs.conf,
etc. proliferation of conf files.</DIV>
