Why RESTORE at all? Stop editing it!
Once again, I'll submit this as a workaround to all of these httpd.conf issues:
Use BBEdit to find the differences!
Longtime users of BBEdit already know of the "Find Differences..." (between files) under the Search menu item. (I have not tried Filemerge). Worked well for me. YMMV
Before there was BBEdit, there was diff
The command
/usr/bin/diff is the classic unix command line program for finding differences. One could use BBEdit, but for those without it everyone has diff.
For more about it, check out:
...at the terminal.

Your advice is sound, but I don't think it applies to the loading/adding of Apache modules. Very often the loading is order dependent, so a directive placed in an later included file is not likely to work well.

I am currently loading and adding modules in my 1stoverrides.conf file (dav and ssl) with no problems. Yes, you can't UNLOAD a module, but by using ClearModuleList you might be able to rejigger your AddModule execution in an overrides file...try it and see. Plus, most current modules aren't as susceptible to ordering problems as old ones were.
My intention for recommending the 1stoverrides.conf file and not editing the httpd.conf comes from the fact that MOST of the complaints I have seen regarding OS X updates stomping on httpd.conf files are coming from ppl who aren't doing rocket science in the httpd.conf...and in their very general cases (where they probably aren't doing brain surgery with LoadModule/AddModule) then my Hint stands. For those who ARE doing proper brain surgery in there, you a) know FOR A FACT (because you've tried it) that an Include override won't work, and b) don't go installing updates willy-nilly without backing up your configs and rechecking them after completing the update. |
