+# /etc/conf.d/apache2: config file for /etc/init.d/apache2
+
+# When you install a module it is easy to activate or deactivate the modules
+# and other features of apache using the APACHE2_OPTS line. Every module should
+# install a configuration in /etc/apache2/modules.d. In that file will have an
+# directive where NNN is the option to enable that module.
+#
+# Here are the options available in the default configuration:
+#
+# AUTH_DIGEST Enables mod_auth_digest
+# AUTHNZ_LDAP Enables authentication through mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
+# CACHE Enables mod_cache
+# DAV Enables mod_dav
+# ERRORDOCS Enables default error documents for many languages.
+# INFO Enables mod_info, a useful module for debugging
+# LANGUAGE Enables content-negotiation based on language and charset.
+# LDAP Enables mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
+# MANUAL Enables /manual/ to be the apache manual (available if USE=docs)
+# MEM_CACHE Enables default configuration mod_mem_cache
+# PROXY Enables mod_proxy
+# SSL Enables SSL (available if USE=ssl)
+# SUEXEC Enables running CGI scripts (in USERDIR) through suexec.
+# USERDIR Enables /~username mapping to /home/username/public_html
+#
+#
+# The following two options provide the default virtual host for the HTTP and
+# HTTPS protocol. YOU NEED TO ENABLE AT LEAST ONE OF THEM, otherwise apache
+# will not listen for incomming connections on the approriate port.
+#
+# DEFAULT_VHOST Enables name-based virtual hosts, with the default
+# virtual host being in /var/www/localhost/htdocs
+# SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST Enables default vhost for SSL (you should enable this
+# when you enable SSL)
+#
+APACHE2_OPTS="-D INFO -D WSGI"
+
+# Extended options for advanced uses of Apache ONLY
+# You don't need to edit these unless you are doing crazy Apache stuff
+# As not having them set correctly, or feeding in an incorrect configuration
+# via them will result in Apache failing to start
+# YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
+
+# PID file
+#PIDFILE=/var/run/apache2.pid
+
+# timeout for startup/shutdown checks
+#TIMEOUT=10
+
+# ServerRoot setting
+#SERVERROOT=/usr/lib64/apache2
+
+# Configuration file location
+# - If this does NOT start with a '/', then it is treated relative to
+# $SERVERROOT by Apache
+#CONFIGFILE=/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
+
+# Location to log startup errors to
+# They are normally dumped to your terminal.
+#STARTUPERRORLOG="/var/log/apache2/startuperror.log"
