Emerge
Multi-Processing Module
To use the Apache event or worker MPM, enable the Apache threads USE flag:
www-servers/apache threads
To use the Apache event MPM, add the following to make.conf:
APACHE2_MPMS="event"
To use the Apache worker MPM, add the following to make.conf:
APACHE2_MPMS="worker"
If no Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is selected, the default MPM is used. The default MPM depends on platform capabilities (like threads support), read more in the official Apache docs.
Then emerge www-servers/apache:
root #
emerge --ask www-servers/apache
Globalny support
Enabling the apache2
global USE flag provides support for Apache in other packages. This may cause www-servers/apache to be installed automatically if a package depending on Apache has been emerged.
USE="apache2"
After configuring USE variables, update the system so the changes take effect:
root #
emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world
Konfiguracja
Pliki
There are two main files that configure Apache2's behavior on the system:
- Gentoo's Apache2 init script configuration file /etc/conf.d/apache2
- Apache2 server's conventional configuration file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/conf.d/apache2
The apache2 file located in /etc/conf.d is Gentoo's init script configuration file. The only active line in this file is the APACHE2_OPTS variable line:
APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE"
This line defines options that will be interpreted by the various configuration files using the <IfDefine option-name>
statement to activate or deactivate some part of the whole configuration. This will be returned to later in the article.
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
The httpd.conf file is Apache server's conventional configuration file. In fact this file is only an entry point for configuration. The whole configuration is split in many files in the /etc/apache2/ directory, that are assembled together using the Include
directive. For example, the statement Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf
, in httpd.conf, aims at including all the files in /etc/apache2/modules.d/ which name ends with .conf.
Taking into account what has been said in the subsection above, and as module configuration files (files in /etc/apache2/modules.d) almost always start with the <IfDefine module-name>
, the content of one file inside /ect/apache2/modules.d, will ONLY be assembled with the rest of the configuration, if the matching option is set using a -D module-name
flag in the APACHE2_OPTS variable in the /etc/conf.d/apache2 file. The 00_default_settings.conf configuration file is an exception to this rule as it doesn't start with an IfDefine
statement and therefore is always included in the resulting configuration.
Defaults
After a fresh install of an Apache server, the configuration resulting from the assemblage of the different configuration files is as follows. Start with the entry point /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.
This is only given for quick reference and to give an overall view. Users are strongly invited to review the comments included in the various files to understand the ins and out of the configuration. Please also refer to the Apache manual for an in depth understanding of Apache configuration.

First sign of life
Start the server, as described in the Usage section.
As visible in the initial configuration above, the pre-installed virtual host's DocumentRoot
directory is /var/www/localhost/htdocs, its server name is localhost. In addition an index.html file is provided in the DocumentRoot
directory, thus to check whether everything is correctly installed or not, point a browser to https://localhost/.
Na stronie powinna widnieć wiadomość "It works!", czyli wszystko działa.
Out of the box, Firefox has a feature designed to help users who mis-typing URLs in the browser bar. If a URL fails to resolve, Firefox tries a couple of alterations of the URL to try find what the user 'might have' really intended, appending a
.com
or prefixing a www.
to the host name portion of the URL to see if they resolve.
This feature, which was introduced in the early versions of Firefox, is somewhat annoying for developers. The feature means that when a server running on localhost fails to respond, Firefox decides to try localhost.com
or www.localhost.com
. This often resolves to a not found page.
To disable this feature:
- Enter
about:config
in the browser bar - Click "I'll be careful" and enter the special configuration page
- Enter
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
in the search box that appears - Right click on the
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
that appears in the filtered list below and choose toggle to set the value to false.
Enabling mod_security
ModSecurity is a rule-based web application firewall that monitors web service traffic, to block attacks exploiting known vulnerabilities.
Install www-apache/mod_security:
root #
emerge --ask www-apache/mod_security
Enable the SECURITY
module in the apache2 file's APACHE2_OPTS variable:
APACHE2_OPTS="... -D SECURITY"
Control this module by editing /etc/apache2/modules.d/79_modsecurity.conf and /etc/apache2/modules.d/80_modsecurity-crs.conf files. The file /usr/share/doc/mod_security-*/modsecurity.conf-recommended.bz2 contains the recommended configuration https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Reference-Manual#A_Recommended_Base_Configuration. Copy the basic configuration to the /etc/apache2/modules.d/79_modsecurity.conf and tweak the settings according to your needs. Unpack the file /usr/share/doc/modsecurity-crs-*/crs-setup.conf.example.bz2 to a suitable location, e.g. /etc/conf.d/crs-setup.conf, tweak it, and include the unpacked file in /etc/apache2/modules.d/80_modsecurity-crs.conf. Finally, restart Apache. Look for the errors in the Apache log files of your sites and act accordingly.
Włączanie supportu PHP
Install PHP with the apache2
USE flag and enable the module:
APACHE2_OPTS="... -D PHP"
Before testing if the PHP module works, check that the file /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf exists and contains the following definition:
<IfDefine PHP>
# The mod_php.so symlink is controlled by
# eselect-php. However, the module name changed from
# php5_module to php7_module so we can't blindly load whatever
# is there. Instead we let eselect-php manage a small
# configuration file that loads the appropriate module.
#
# This is relative to ServerRoot (see httpd.conf).
Include ../../../var/lib/eselect-php/mod_php.conf
# Tell apache that mod_php should handle PHP files.
#
# NOTE: Avoiding AddHandler/AddType for security (bug
# #538822). Please read the related news item!
<FilesMatch "\.(php|php[57]|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
# PHP source files which are meant to be displayed as
# syntax-highlighted source code.
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml
</IfDefine>
Jeśli nie istnieje, stwórz go.
By zweryfikować poprawność działania modułów PHP, stwórz stronę testową:
<html>
<body>
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>
Now, suppress or rename /var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html and open the test page: https://localhost/
A table describing the PHP settings should be visible.
Modify PHP versions
To change the version of PHP handled by Apache, first list the available versions for the apache2
Server Application Programming Interface (SAPI):
root #
eselect php list apache2
[1] php5.3 [2] php5.4 * [3] php5.5
Change it to the version of choice:
root #
eselect php set apache2 N
Substitute N
in the example above to the requested number in the output of eselect php list apache2 as displayed earlier on.
Wirtualne hosty
For each virtual host, provide a DocumentRoot
directory that is reachable and accessible by the Apache daemon. Add a virtual host configuration file (VirtualHost.conf) in the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d directory which uses this DocumentRoot
and the virtual host server name. Do not forget to add an entry for this domain name in /etc/hosts.
To assign the apache user/group ownership on the virtual host files, use chown like in the following example:
root #
chown apache:apache /var/www/nazwa_strony
Below are two example virtual host definitions, one for domainname1.com and one for domainname2.com. Notice the different DocumentRoot
and ServerName
directives even though the host itself (*:80
) remains the same:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/website1
ServerName domainname1.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/website2
ServerName domainname2.com
</VirtualHost>
It is recommended to provide an IP based virtual host definition as well. This allows the administrator to put up a message for users that try to reach a site through its IP address:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</VirtualHost>
After inserting virtual hosts, the server needs to be (gracefully) restarted for the new sites to become active.
Enabling PHP through fcgid
Install www-apache/mod_fcgid and dev-lang/php. The PHP package requires cgi
to be set as a USE flag:
root #
emerge --ask www-apache/mod_fcgid dev-lang/php
Edit the mod_fcgid.conf file:
<IfDefine FCGID>
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
SocketPath /var/run/fcgidsock
SharememPath /var/run/fcgid_shm
AddHandler php-fcgid .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action php-fcgid /fcgid-bin/php-fcgid-wrapper
# max request 128mb
FcgidMaxRequestLen 134217728
<Location /fcgid-bin/>
SetHandler fcgid-script
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
</IfDefine>
Stwórz potrzebny katalog:
root #
mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/fcgid-bin
Stwórz symlink dla wrappera PHP:
root #
ln -s /usr/bin/php-cgi /var/www/localhost/htdocs/fcgid-bin/php-fcgid-wrapper
Włącz moduł FCGID
:
APACHE2_OPTS="... -D FCGID"
Finally restart Apache and check the phpinfo()
site created earlier. The value of Server API
should be CGI/FastCGI
Enabling PHP-FPM through mod_proxy_fcgi in Apache 2.4
The following pre-requisites must be satisfied to enable PHP-FPM through mod_proxy_fcgi:
- >= PHP 5.3
- >= Apache 2.4
Furthermore, there are a few restrictions on the availability of functionality within Apache 2.4:
- >= Apache 2.4.9, if you want to communicate with PHP-FPM over UNIX sockets
- >= Apache 2.4.10, if you want to use SetHandler instead of ProxyPassMatch.
The following configuration will only work with Apache 2.4.10 and newer. It relies on the FilesMatch
directive and be placed within the main server config or VirtualHosts
. The location of the UNIX socket is determined by the listen
directive in the php-fpm.conf configuration file, allowing for specifying separate pools per site or function.
In the following example, FilesMatch
is placed within the PHP module config file of Apache:
<IfDefine PHP>
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost"
</FilesMatch>
# Set it to handle the files
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .phtml
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml
</IfDefine>
Or, you can use ProxPassMatch -- the only option if the Apache version is between 2.4.0 and 2.4.8, inclusive.
<IfDefine PHP>
# Send all requested PHP files to PHP-FPM via fcgi://PHP_FPM_LISTEN_ADDRESS:PHP_FPM_LISTEN_PORT/DOCUMENT_ROOT/$1
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/localhost/htdocs/$1
# Set it to handle the files
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .phtml
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml
</IfDefine>
By default the listen
directive is not set to a socket. First create the directory for the socket file:
root #
mkdir /var/run/php-fpm
Next, update the php-fpm.conf file as follows:
; Set permissions for unix socket, if one is used. In Linux, read/write
; permissions must be set in order to allow connections from a web server. Many
; BSD-derived systems allow connections regardless of permissions.
; Default Values: user and group are set as the running user
; mode is set to 0666
listen.owner = apache
listen.group = apache
;listen.mode = 0666
; The address on which to accept FastCGI requests.
; Valid syntaxes are:
; 'ip.add.re.ss:port' - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific address on
; a specific port;
; 'port' - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses on a
; specific port;
; '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.
; Note: This value is mandatory.
;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
listen = /var/run/php-fpm/www.sock
Then enable both the PHP
and PROXY
modules:
APACHE2_OPTS="... -D PHP -D PROXY"
Web frameworks and Apache
Some of the web frameworks that can work with Apache are covered on the wiki:
HTTPS with TLS certificates from Let’s Encrypt
It is important that any public-facing web server provide "secure" HTTPS access. Often, sites providing HTTPS will be configured to redirect HTTP requests to the HTTPS equivalent URL.
Let’s Encrypt is a not-for-profit certificate authority that issues free TLS certificates. certbot is a utility available in the Gentoo repository for easily requesting and installing TLS certificates, and automatically setting up HTTPS access for Apache.
See the Let's Encrypt article for information about using certbot. The EFF also have specific instructions on using certbot on Gentoo to configure Apache.

Troubleshooting
Resources
The Apache server can be difficult to configure properly. Below are some resources that may be helpful when issues occur:
Testing
Verifying IP interfaces and ports on which Apache2 is running on and listening to:
root #
netstat -tulpen | grep apache
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 10932720 4544/apache2 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 10932716 4544/apache2
Testing if a connection to a Apache server is working on localhost:
user $
telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
Interrupt the connection test with Ctrl+c and Enter.
apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for <System_Hostname>
Error:
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for System_Hostname
Resolution:
When this occurs, add the host name to the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost System_Hostname
