Project description

httpd:

Builds the Apache HTTP server software from source.

root:

Configures an Apache server root (an instance in Zope speak).

These recipes appear to be reliable, but the feature set is basically determined by the author’s immediate needs. Don’t hesitate to send questions, bug reports, suggestions, or patches to <thomas@thomas-lotze.de>.

The build recipe: tl.buildout_apache:httpd

None of the options described below are required: they either have sensible defaults or are computed by the recipe. You may override any of them.

Configuration options:
url:

The server root recipe: tl.buildout_apache:root
