New Simple MPM in httpd trunk

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Earlier this week, I committed a new ‘Simple’ MPM to Apache httpd trunk.

More info on the mailing lists.

I should write more about the Simple MPM, but ApacheCon New Orleans is  coming up next week, so I want to try to get more of the code in before then, since traditionally coding during the conference never works out, and I’ll try to write up a blog post about why its cool sometime next week during the conference.

chroot in 2.2.10

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.10 was released more than a week ago.

One of the new features I don’t think anyone has mentioned much is that we now have built in support for chroot.  Just add ChrootDir “/srv/my_root”, and all IO in Apache after the initial startup will be inside the chroot.
