<h2 id="label-Synopsis">Synopsis</h2>
<p><code>Apache httpd</code> is a very powerful and widely used web server.</p>
<p><code>cd_apache</code> automates the installation and configuration of
httpd. This module is a base module simply providing the httpd service
itself to be used by other role- or profile modules, adding more detailed
configurations specific to the particular use case.</p>
<h2 id="label-WARNING">WARNING</h2>
<p><strong><em>Attention: Never use this puppet module on systems which have
been previously configured manually. It is impossible to predict how and
what would have been configured, hence previous configurations outside the
scope of this module may be overwritten! Automated configurations require a
test environment to verify that the module suits the purpose intended by
the user, as well as tune the parameters, before deploying into live
production</em></strong></p>

<h3 id="label-vHosts">vHosts</h3>
<p>As stated in the synopsis, this module was written particularly for usage
as base module. <code>Apache httpd</code> has a great number of use cases
where it actually is not used directly as full-blown web server by itself,
but instead as platform for other applications. Examples here would be:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>front-end proxy for other applications to avoid having to put the port
number into the URL</p>
</li><li>
<p>applications like phpMyAdmin, phpPgAdmin</p>
</li><li>
<p>WordPress</p>
</li><li>
<p>Nagios etc.</p>
</li></ul>
<p>With those use cases, you would provide the vHosts at the Puppet module for
the application, not the base module. Also, if you plan to use this module
to run a plain fully fledged web server, you would use a role- or profile
class/module on top of <code>cd_apache</code> to set up your vHost exactly
as needed. Examples for regular basic vHost configuration files are
included in the examples directory as parameterized .erb files. You would
create a define for vHosts, i.e. using the example parameters, and simply
add <code>cd_apache</code> as requirement (i.e. require cd_apache) so it
gets installed automatically.</p>

<ul><li>
<p>through Foreman:</p>
</li></ul>
<p>In order to apply parameters through Foreman,
<strong>cd_apache::params</strong> must be added to the host or host group
in question.</p>

<h2 id="label-Parameters">Parameters</h2>
<p>The parameters are documented via puppet strings and <a

<h2 id="label-SELINUX">SELINUX</h2>
<p>All files and directories are configured with correct selinux context. If
selinux is disabled, these contexts are ignored.</p>

<h2 id="label-Tests">Tests</h2>
<ul><li>
<p>Puppet Lint</p>
</li><li>
<p>excluded tests:</p>
<ul><li>
<p><code>--no-class_inherits_from_params_class-check</code>:relevant only to
non-supported outdated puppet versions</p>
</li><li>
<p><code>--no-variable_scope-check</code>: not applicable as we are inheriting
parameters from params class. the lint check does not distinguish between
facts and inherited parameters.</p>
</li><li>
<p><code>--no-80chars-check</code>: it is not always possible to stay within
80 characters, although typically only occurring on the parameter vault
<code>params.pp</code>.</p>
</li><li>
<p><code>--no-arrow_alignment-check</code>: this check leads to actually not
having am easily readable arrow alignment, as this checks <code>per
block</code>, not per class.</p>

<p>ConfDroid as entity is entirely independent from Puppet. We provide custom
configuration modules, written for specific purposes and specific
environments. The modules are tested and supported only as documented, and
require testing in designated environments (i.e. lab or development
environments) for parameter tuning etc. before deploying into production
environments.</p>
