##Overview

The Apache module allows you to set up virtual hosts and manage web services with minimal effort.

##Module Description

Apache is a widely-used web server, and this module provides a simplified way of creating configurations to manage your infrastructure. This includes the ability to configure and manage a range of different virtual host setups, as well as a streamlined way to install and configure Apache modules.

##Setup

What Apache affects:

configuration files and directories (created and written to)
- NOTE: Configurations that are not managed by Puppet will be purged.
package/service/configuration files for Apache
Apache modules
virtual hosts
listened-to ports
/etc/make.conf on FreeBSD

###Beginning with Apache

To install Apache with the default parameters

    class { 'apache':  }

The defaults are determined by your operating system (e.g. Debian systems have one set of defaults, RedHat systems have another). These defaults will work well in a testing environment, but are not suggested for production. To establish customized parameters

    class { 'apache':
      default_mods        => false,
      default_confd_files => false,
    }

###Configure a virtual host

Declaring the apache class will create a default virtual host by setting up a vhost on port 80, listening on all interfaces and serving $apache::docroot.

    class { 'apache': }

To configure a very basic, name-based virtual host

    apache::vhost { 'first.example.com':
      port    => '80',
      docroot => '/var/www/first',
    }

Note: The default priority is 15. If nothing matches this priority, the alphabetically first name-based vhost will be used. This is also true if you pass a higher priority and no names match anything else.

A slightly more complicated example, which moves the docroot owner/group

    apache::vhost { 'second.example.com':
      port          => '80',
      docroot       => '/var/www/second',
      docroot_owner => 'third',
      docroot_group => 'third',
    }

To set up a virtual host with SSL and default SSL certificates

    apache::vhost { 'ssl.example.com':
      port    => '443',
      docroot => '/var/www/ssl',
      ssl     => true,
    }

To set up a virtual host with SSL and specific SSL certificates

    apache::vhost { 'fourth.example.com':
      port     => '443',
      docroot  => '/var/www/fourth',
      ssl      => true,
      ssl_cert => '/etc/ssl/fourth.example.com.cert',
      ssl_key  => '/etc/ssl/fourth.example.com.key',
    }

To set up a virtual host with IP address different than '*'

    apache::vhost { 'subdomain.example.com':
      ip      => '127.0.0.1',
      port    => '80',
      docrout => '/var/www/subdomain',
    }

To set up a virtual host with wildcard alias for subdomain mapped to same named directory http://examle.com.loc => /var/www/example.com

    apache::vhost { 'subdomain.loc':
      vhost_name => '*',
      port       => '80',
      virtual_docroot' => '/var/www/%-2+',
      docroot          => '/var/www',
      serveraliases    => ['*.loc',],
    }

To set up a virtual host with suPHP

    apache::vhost { 'suphp.example.com':
      port                => '80',
      docroot             => '/home/appuser/myphpapp',
      suphp_addhandler    => 'x-httpd-php',
      suphp_engine        => 'on',
      suphp_configpath    => '/etc/php5/apache2',
      directories         => { path => '/home/appuser/myphpapp',
        'suphp'           => { user => 'myappuser', group => 'myappgroup' },
      }
    }

To set up a virtual host with WSGI

    apache::vhost { 'wsgi.example.com':
      port                        => '80',
      docroot                     => '/var/www/pythonapp',
      wsgi_daemon_process         => 'wsgi',
      wsgi_daemon_process_options =>
        { processes => '2', threads => '15', display-name => '%{GROUP}' },
      wsgi_process_group          => 'wsgi',
      wsgi_script_aliases         => { '/' => '/var/www/demo.wsgi' },
    }

Starting 2.2.16, httpd supports FallbackResource which is a simple replace for common RewriteRules:

    apache::vhost { 'wordpress.example.com':
      port                => '80',
      docroot             => '/var/www/wordpress',
      fallbackresource    => '/index.php',
    }

Please note that the disabled argument to FallbackResource is only supported since 2.2.24.

##Usage

###Classes and Defined Types

This module modifies Apache configuration files and directories and will purge any configuration not managed by Puppet. Configuration of Apache should be managed by Puppet, as non-puppet configuration files can cause unexpected failures.

It is possible to temporarily disable full Puppet management by setting the purge_configs parameter within the base apache class to 'false'. This option should only be used as a temporary means of saving and relocating customized configurations.

####Class: apache

The Apache module's primary class, apache, guides the basic setup of Apache on your system.

You may establish a default vhost in this class, the vhost class, or both. You may add additional vhost configurations for specific virtual hosts using a declaration of the vhost type.

Parameters within apache:

#####default_mods

Sets up Apache with default settings based on your OS. Defaults to 'true', set to 'false' for customized configuration.

#####default_vhost

Sets up a default virtual host. Defaults to 'true', set to 'false' to set up customized virtual hosts.

#####default_confd_files

Generates default set of include-able apache configuration files under ${apache::confd_dir} directory. These configuration files correspond to what is usually installed with apache package on given platform.

#####default_ssl_vhost

Sets up a default SSL virtual host. Defaults to 'false'.

    apache::vhost { 'default-ssl':
      port            => 443,
      ssl             => true,
      docroot         => $docroot,
      scriptalias     => $scriptalias,
      serveradmin     => $serveradmin,
      access_log_file => "ssl_${access_log_file}",
      }

SSL vhosts only respond to HTTPS queries.

#####default_ssl_cert

The default SSL certification, which is automatically set based on your operating system (/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt for RedHat, /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem for Debian, /usr/local/etc/apache22/server.crt for FreeBSD). This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####default_ssl_key

The default SSL key, which is automatically set based on your operating system (/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key for RedHat, /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key for Debian, /usr/local/etc/apache22/server.key for FreeBSD). This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####default_ssl_chain

The default SSL chain, which is automatically set to 'undef'. This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####default_ssl_ca

The default certificate authority, which is automatically set to 'undef'. This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####default_ssl_crl_path

The default certificate revocation list path, which is automatically set to 'undef'. This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####default_ssl_crl

The default certificate revocation list to use, which is automatically set to 'undef'. This default will work out of the box but must be updated with your specific certificate information before being used in production.

#####service_name

Name of apache service to run. Defaults to: 'httpd' on RedHat, 'apache2' on Debian, and 'apache22' on FreeBSD.

#####service_enable

Determines whether the 'httpd' service is enabled when the machine is booted. Defaults to 'true'.

#####service_ensure

Determines whether the service should be running. Can be set to 'undef' which is useful when you want to let the service be managed by some other application like pacemaker. Defaults to 'running'.

#####purge_configs

Removes all other apache configs and vhosts, which is automatically set to true. Setting this to false is a stopgap measure to allow the apache module to coexist with existing or otherwise managed configuration. It is recommended that you move your configuration entirely to resources within this module.

#####serveradmin

Sets the server administrator. Defaults to 'root@localhost'.

#####servername

Sets the servername. Defaults to fqdn provided by facter.

#####server_root

A value to be set as ServerRoot in main configuration file (httpd.conf). Defaults to /etc/httpd on RedHat, /etc/apache2 on Debian and /usr/local on FreeBSD.

#####sendfile

Makes Apache use the Linux kernel 'sendfile' to serve static files. Defaults to 'On'.

#####server_root

A value to be set as ServerRoot in main configuration file (httpd.conf). Defaults to /etc/httpd on RedHat and /etc/apache2 on Debian.

#####error_documents

Enables custom error documents. Defaults to 'false'.

#####httpd_dir

Changes the base location of the configuration directories used for the service. This is useful for specially repackaged HTTPD builds but may have unintended consequences when used in combination with the default distribution packages. Default is based on your OS.

#####confd_dir

Changes the location of the configuration directory your custom configuration files are placed in. Default is based on your OS.

#####vhost_dir

Changes the location of the configuration directory your virtual host configuration files are placed in. Default is based on your OS.

#####mod_dir

Changes the location of the configuration directory your Apache modules configuration files are placed in. Default is based on your OS.

#####mpm_module

Configures which mpm module is loaded and configured for the httpd process by the apache::mod::event, apache::mod::itk, apache::mod::peruser, apache::mod::prefork and apache::mod::worker classes. Must be set to false to explicitly declare apache::mod::event, apache::mod::itk, apache::mod::peruser, apache::mod::prefork or apache::mod::worker classes with parameters. All possible values are event, itk, peruser, prefork, worker (valid values depend on agent's OS), or the boolean false. Defaults to prefork on RedHat and FreeBSD and worker on Debian. Note: on FreeBSD switching between different mpm modules is quite difficult (but possible). Before changing $mpm_module one has to deinstall all packages that depend on currently installed apache.

#####conf_template

Setting this allows you to override the template used for the main apache configuration file. This is a potentially risky thing to do as this module has been built around the concept of a minimal configuration file with most of the configuration coming in the form of conf.d/ entries. Defaults to 'apache/httpd.conf.erb'.

#####keepalive

Setting this allows you to enable persistent connections.

#####keepalive_timeout

Amount of time the server will wait for subsequent requests on a persistent connection. Defaults to '15'.

#####logroot

Changes the location of the directory Apache log files are placed in. Defaut is based on your OS.

#####log_level

Changes the verbosity level of the error log. Defaults to 'warn'. Valid values are emerg, alert, crit, error, warn, notice, info or debug.

#####ports_file

Changes the name of the file containing Apache ports configuration. Default is ${conf_dir}/ports.conf.

#####server_tokens

Controls how much information Apache sends to the browser about itself and the operating system. See Apache documentation for 'ServerTokens'. Defaults to 'OS'.

#####server_signature

Allows the configuration of a trailing footer line under server-generated documents. See Apache documentation for 'ServerSignature'. Defaults to 'On'.

#####trace_enable

Controls, how TRACE requests per RFC 2616 are handled. See Apache documentation for 'TraceEnable'. Defaults to 'On'.

#####manage_user

Setting this to false will avoid the user resource to be created by this module. This is useful when you already have a user created in another puppet module and that you want to used it to run apache. Without this, it would result in a duplicate resource error.

#####manage_group

Setting this to false will avoid the group resource to be created by this module. This is useful when you already have a group created in another puppet module and that you want to used it for apache. Without this, it would result in a duplicate resource error.

#####package_ensure

Allow control over the package ensure statement. This is useful if you want to make sure apache is always at the latest version or whether it is only installed.

####Class: apache::default_mods

Installs default Apache modules based on what OS you are running

    class { 'apache::default_mods': }

####Defined Type: apache::mod

Used to enable arbitrary Apache httpd modules for which there is no specific apache::mod::[name] class. The apache::mod defined type will also install the required packages to enable the module, if any.

    apache::mod { 'rewrite': }
    apache::mod { 'ldap': }

####Classes: apache::mod::[name]

There are many apache::mod::[name] classes within this module that can be declared using include:

alias
auth_basic
auth_kerb
autoindex
cache
cgi
cgid
dav
dav_fs
dav_svn
deflate
dev
dir*
disk_cache
event
fastcgi
fcgid
headers
include
info
itk
ldap
mime
mime_magic*
mpm_event
negotiation
nss*
passenger*
perl
peruser
php (requires mpm_module set to prefork)
prefork*
proxy*
proxy_ajp
proxy_html
proxy_http
python
reqtimeout
rewrite
rpaf*
setenvif
ssl* (see apache::mod::ssl below)
status*
suphp
userdir*
vhost_alias
worker*
wsgi (see apache::mod::wsgi below)
xsendfile

Modules noted with a * indicate that the module has settings and, thus, a template that includes parameters. These parameters control the module's configuration. Most of the time, these parameters will not require any configuration or attention.

The modules mentioned above, and other Apache modules that have templates, will cause template files to be dropped along with the mod install, and the module will not work without the template. Any mod without a template will install package but drop no files.

####Class: apache::mod::ssl

Installs Apache SSL capabilities and utilizes ssl.conf.erb template. These are the defaults:

    class { 'apache::mod::ssl':
      ssl_compression => false,
      ssl_options     => [ 'StdEnvVars' ],
  }

To use SSL with a virtual host, you must either set thedefault_ssl_vhost parameter in apache to 'true' or set the ssl parameter in apache::vhost to 'true'.

####Class: apache::mod::wsgi

    class { 'apache::mod::wsgi':
      wsgi_socket_prefix => "\${APACHE_RUN_DIR}WSGI",
      wsgi_python_home   => '/path/to/virtenv',
      wsgi_python_path   => '/path/to/virtenv/site-packages',
    }

####Defined Type: apache::vhost

The Apache module allows a lot of flexibility in the set up and configuration of virtual hosts. This flexibility is due, in part, to vhost's setup as a defined resource type, which allows it to be evaluated multiple times with different parameters.

The vhost defined type allows you to have specialized configurations for virtual hosts that have requirements outside of the defaults. You can set up a default vhost within the base apache class as well as set a customized vhost setup as default. Your customized vhost (priority 10) will be privileged over the base class vhost (15).

If you have a series of specific configurations and do not want a base apache class default vhost, make sure to set the base class default host to 'false'.

    class { 'apache':
      default_vhost => false,
    }

Parameters within apache::vhost:

The default values for each parameter will vary based on operating system and type of virtual host.

#####access_log

Specifies whether *_access.log directives should be configured. Valid values are 'true' and 'false'. Defaults to 'true'.

#####access_log_file

Points to the *_access.log file. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####access_log_pipe

Specifies a pipe to send access log messages to. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####access_log_syslog

Sends all access log messages to syslog. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####access_log_format

Specifies either a LogFormat nickname or custom format string for access log. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####access_log_env_var

Adds writing control of access log via environment variable of the access. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####add_listen

Determines whether the vhost creates a listen statement. The default value is 'true'.

Setting add_listen to 'false' stops the vhost from creating a listen statement, and this is important when you combine vhosts that are not passed an ip parameter with vhosts that are passed the ip parameter.

#####aliases

Passes a list of hashes to the vhost to create Alias or AliasMatch statements as per the mod_alias documentation. Each hash is expected to be of the form:

aliases => [
  { aliasmatch => '^/image/(.*)\.jpg$', path => '/files/jpg.images/$1.jpg' }
  { alias      => '/image',             path => '/ftp/pub/image' },
],

For Alias and AliasMatch to work, each will need a corresponding <Directory /path/to/directory> or <Location /path/to/directory> block. The Alias and AliasMatch directives are created in the order specified in the aliases paramter. As described in the mod_alias documentation more specific Alias or AliasMatch directives should come before the more general ones to avoid shadowing.

Note: If apache::mod::passenger is loaded and PassengerHighPerformance true is set, then Alias may have issues honouring the PassengerEnabled off statement. See this article for details.

#####block

Specifies the list of things Apache will block access to. The default is an empty set, '[]'. Currently, the only option is 'scm', which blocks web access to .svn, .git and .bzr directories. To add to this, please see the Development section.

#####custom_fragment

Pass a string of custom configuration directives to be placed at the end of the vhost configuration.

#####default_vhost

Sets a given apache::vhost as the default to serve requests that do not match any other apache::vhost definitions. The default value is 'false'.

#####directories

Passes a list of hashes to the vhost to create <Directory /path/to/directory>...</Directory> directive blocks as per the Apache core documentation. The path key is required in these hashes. An optional provider defaults to directory. Usage will typically look like:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      docroot     => '/path/to/directory',
      directories => [
        { path => '/path/to/directory', <directive> => <value> },
        { path => '/path/to/another/directory', <directive> => <value> },
      ],
    }

Note: At least one directory should match docroot parameter, once you start declaring directories apache::vhost assumes that all required <Directory> blocks will be declared.

Note: If not defined a single default <Directory> block will be created that matches the docroot parameter.

provider can be set to any of directory, files, or location. If the pathspec starts with a ~, httpd will interpret this as the equivalent of DirectoryMatch, FilesMatch, or LocationMatch, respectively.

    apache::vhost { 'files.example.net':
      docroot     => '/var/www/files',
      directories => [
        { path => '~ (\.swp|\.bak|~)$', 'provider' => 'files', 'deny' => 'from all' },
      ],
    }

The directives will be embedded within the Directory (Files, or Location) directive block, missing directives should be undefined and not be added, resulting in their default vaules in Apache. Currently this is the list of supported directives:

######addhandlers

Sets AddHandler directives as per the Apache Core documentation. Accepts a list of hashes of the form { handler => 'handler-name', extensions => ['extension']}. Note that extensions is a list of extenstions being handled by the handler. An example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      docroot     => '/path/to/directory',
      directories => [ { path => '/path/to/directory',
        addhandlers => [ { handler => 'cgi-script', extensions => ['.cgi']} ],
      } ],
    }

######allow

Sets an Allow directive as per the Apache Core documentation. An example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      docroot     => '/path/to/directory',
      directories => [ { path => '/path/to/directory', allow => 'from example.org' } ],
    }

######allow_override

Sets the usage of .htaccess files as per the Apache core documentation. Should accept in the form of a list or a string. An example:

    }

######error_documents

A list of hashes which can be used to override the ErrorDocument settings for this directory. Example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      directories => [ { path => '/srv/www'
        error_documents => [
          { 'error_code' => '503', 'document' => '/service-unavail' },
        ],
      }]
    }

######headers

Adds lines for Header directives as per the Apache Header documentation. An example:

      docroot     => '/path/to/directory',
      directories => {
        path    => '/path/to/directory',
        headers => 'Set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet"',
      },
    }

######options

    }

######index_order_default Sets the order of the list

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      docroot     => '/path/to/directory',
      directories => [ { path => '/path/to/directory', order => 'Allow,Deny', index_order_default => ['Descending', 'Date']}, ],
    }

######order Sets the order of processing Allow and Deny statements as per Apache core documentation. An example:

#####docroot

Provides the DocumentRoot directive, identifying the directory Apache serves files from.

#####docroot_group

Sets group access to the docroot directory. Defaults to 'root'.

#####docroot_owner

#####error_log

Specifies whether *_error.log directives should be configured. Defaults to 'true'.

#####error_log_file

Points to the *_error.log file. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####error_log_pipe

Specifies a pipe to send error log messages to. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####error_log_syslog

Sends all error log messages to syslog. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####error_documents

A list of hashes which can be used to override the ErrorDocument settings for this vhost. Defaults to []. Example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      error_documents => [
        { 'error_code' => '503', 'document' => '/service-unavail' },
        { 'error_code' => '407', 'document' => 'https://example.com/proxy/login' },
      ],
    }

#####ensure

Specifies if the vhost file is present or absent.

#####fastcgi_server

Specifies the filename as an external FastCGI application. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####fastcgi_socket

Filename used to communicate with the web server. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####fastcgi_dir

Directory to enable for FastCGI. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####additional_includes

Specifies paths to additional static vhost-specific Apache configuration files. This option is useful when you need to implement a unique and/or custom configuration not supported by this module.

#####ip

The IP address the vhost listens on. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####ip_based

Enables an IP-based vhost. This parameter inhibits the creation of a NameVirtualHost directive, since those are used to funnel requests to name-based vhosts. Defaults to 'false'.

#####logroot

Specifies the location of the virtual host's logfiles. Defaults to /var/log/<apache log location>/.

#####log_level

Specifies the verbosity level of the error log. Defaults to warn for the global server configuration and can be overridden on a per-vhost basis using this parameter. Valid value for log_level is one of emerg, alert, crit, error, warn, notice, info or debug.

#####no_proxy_uris

Specifies URLs you do not want to proxy. This parameter is meant to be used in combination with proxy_dest.

#####options

Lists the options for the given virtual host

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      options => ['Indexes','FollowSymLinks','MultiViews'],
    }

#####override

Sets the overrides for the given virtual host. Accepts an array of AllowOverride arguments.

#####port

Sets the port the host is configured on.

#####priority

Sets the relative load-order for Apache httpd VirtualHost configuration files. Defaults to '25'.

If nothing matches the priority, the first name-based vhost will be used. Likewise, passing a higher priority will cause the alphabetically first name-based vhost to be used if no other names match.

Note: You should not need to use this parameter. However, if you do use it, be aware that the default_vhost parameter for apache::vhost passes a priority of '15'.

#####proxy_dest

Specifies the destination address of a proxypass configuration. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####proxy_pass

Specifies an array of path => uri for a proxypass configuration. Defaults to 'undef'.

Example:

$proxy_pass = [
  { 'path' => '/a', 'url' => 'http://backend-a/' },
  { 'path' => '/b', 'url' => 'http://backend-b/' },
  { 'path' => '/c', 'url' => 'http://backend-a/c' }
]

apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
  …
  proxy_pass       => $proxy_pass,
}

#####rack_base_uris

Specifies the resource identifiers for a rack configuration. The file paths specified will be listed as rack application roots for passenger/rack in the _rack.erb template. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####redirect_dest

Specifies the address to redirect to. Defaults to 'undef'.

#####redirect_source

Specifies the source items? that will redirect to the destination specified in redirect_dest. If more than one item for redirect is supplied, the source and destination must be the same length, and the items are order-dependent.

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      redirect_source => ['/images','/downloads'],
      redirect_dest => ['http://img.example.com/','http://downloads.example.com/'],
    }

#####redirect_status

Specifies the status to append to the redirect. Defaults to 'undef'.

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      redirect_status => ['temp','permanent'],
    }

#####request_headers

Specifies additional request headers.

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      request_headers => [
        'append MirrorID "mirror 12"',
        'unset MirrorID',
      ],
    }

#####rewrite_base

Limits the rewrites to the specified base URL. Defaults to 'undef'.

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      rewrite_base => '/blog/',
      rewrites => [
        { rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ welcome.html'] }
      ]
    }

The above example would limit the index.html -> welcome.html rewrite to only something inside of http://example.com/blog/.

#####rewrites

Creates URL rewrite rules. Defaults to 'undef'. This parameter allows you to specify, for example, that anyone trying to access index.html will be served welcome.html.

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      rewrites => [ { rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ welcome.html'] } ]
    }

Allows rewrite conditions, that when true, will execute the associated rule. For example

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      rewrites => [
        {
          comment       => 'redirect IE',
          rewrite_cond => ['%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^MSIE'],
          rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ welcome.html'],
        }
      ]
    }

will rewrite URLs only if the visitor is using IE.

Multiple conditions can be applied, the following will rewrite index.html to welcome.html only when the browser is lynx or mozilla version 1 or 2

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      rewrites => [
        {
          comment       => 'Lynx or Mozilla v1/2',
          rewrite_cond => ['%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Lynx/ [OR]', '%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/[12]'],
          rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ welcome.html'],
        }
      ]
    }

Multiple rewrites and conditions are also possible

    apache::vhost { 'site.name.fdqn':
      …
      rewrites => [
        {
          comment       => 'Lynx or Mozilla v1/2',
          rewrite_cond => ['%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Lynx/ [OR]', '%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/[12]'],
          rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ welcome.html'],
        },
        {
          comment       => 'Internet Explorer',
          rewrite_cond => ['%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^MSIE'],
          rewrite_rule => ['^index\.html$ /index.IE.html [L]'],
        },
        }
          rewrite_rule => ['^index\.cgi$ index.php', '^index\.html$ index.php', '^index\.asp$ index.html'],
        }
     ] 
    }

refer to the mod_rewrite documentation for more details on what is possible with rewrite rules and conditions

#####scriptalias

Defines a directory of CGI scripts to be aliased to the path '/cgi-bin'

#####scriptaliases

Passes a list of hashes to the vhost to create ScriptAlias or ScriptAliasMatch statements as per the mod_alias documentation. Each hash is expected to be of the form:

    scriptaliases => [
      {
        alias => '/myscript',
        path  => '/usr/share/myscript',
      },
      {
        aliasmatch => '^/foo(.*)',
        path       => '/usr/share/fooscripts$1',
      },
      {
        aliasmatch => '^/bar/(.*)',
        path       => '/usr/share/bar/wrapper.sh/$1',
      },
      {
        alias => '/neatscript',
        path  => '/usr/share/neatscript',
      },
    ]

These directives are created in the order specified. As with Alias and AliasMatch directives the more specific aliases should come before the more general ones to avoid shadowing.

#####serveradmin

Specifies the email address Apache will display when it renders one of its error pages.

#####serveraliases

Sets the server aliases of the site.

#####servername

Sets the primary name of the virtual host.

#####setenv

Used by HTTPD to set environment variables for vhosts. Defaults to '[]'.

      …
      ssl_verify_client => 'optional',
    }

#####ssl_verify_depth

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      …
      ssl_verify_depth => 1,
    }

#####ssl_options

Sets SSLOptions directives as per the Apache Core documentation. This is the global setting for the vhost and can be a string or an array. Defaults to undef. A single string example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      …
      ssl_options => '+ExportCertData',
    }

An array of strings example:

    apache::vhost { 'sample.example.net':
      …
      ssl_options => [ '+StrictRequire', '+ExportCertData' ],
    }

#####ssl_proxyengine

      itk => {
        user  => 'someuser',
        group => 'somegroup',
      },
    }

###Virtual Host Examples

The Apache module allows you to set up pretty much any configuration of virtual host you might desire. This section will address some common configurations. Please see the Tests section for even more examples.

Configure a vhost with a server administrator

    apache::vhost { 'third.example.com':
      port        => '80',
      docroot     => '/var/www/third',
      serveradmin => '[email protected]',
    }

Set up a vhost with aliased servers

    apache::vhost { 'sixth.example.com':
      serveraliases => [
        'sixth.example.org',
        'sixth.example.net',
      ],
      port          => '80',
      docroot       => '/var/www/fifth',
    }

Configure a vhost with a cgi-bin

    apache::vhost { 'eleventh.example.com':
      port        => '80',
      docroot     => '/var/www/eleventh',
      scriptalias => '/usr/lib/cgi-bin',
    }

Set up a vhost with a rack configuration

    apache::vhost { 'fifteenth.example.com':
      port           => '80',
      docroot        => '/var/www/fifteenth',
      rack_base_uris => ['/rackapp1', '/rackapp2'],
    }

Set up a mix of SSL and non-SSL vhosts at the same domain

    #The non-ssl vhost
    apache::vhost { 'first.example.com non-ssl':
      servername => 'first.example.com',
      port       => '80',
      docroot    => '/var/www/first',
    }

    #The SSL vhost at the same domain
    apache::vhost { 'first.example.com ssl':
      servername => 'first.example.com',
      port       => '443',
      docroot    => '/var/www/first',
      ssl        => true,
    }

Configure a vhost to redirect non-SSL connections to SSL

    apache::vhost { 'sixteenth.example.com non-ssl':
      servername      => 'sixteenth.example.com',
      port            => '80',
      docroot         => '/var/www/sixteenth',
      redirect_status => 'permanent'
      redirect_dest   => 'https://sixteenth.example.com/'
    }
    apache::vhost { 'sixteenth.example.com ssl':
      servername => 'sixteenth.example.com',
      port       => '443',
      docroot    => '/var/www/sixteenth',
      ssl        => true,
    }

Set up IP-based vhosts on any listen port and have them respond to requests on specific IP addresses. In this example, we will set listening on ports 80 and 81. This is required because the example vhosts are not declared with a port parameter.

    apache::listen { '80': }
    apache::listen { '81': }

Then we will set up the IP-based vhosts

    apache::vhost { 'first.example.com':
      ip       => '10.0.0.10',
      docroot  => '/var/www/first',
      ip_based => true,
    }
    apache::vhost { 'second.example.com':
      ip       => '10.0.0.11',
      docroot  => '/var/www/second',
      ip_based => true,
    }

Configure a mix of name-based and IP-based vhosts. First, we will add two IP-based vhosts on 10.0.0.10, one SSL and one non-SSL

    apache::vhost { 'The first IP-based vhost, non-ssl':
      servername => 'first.example.com',
      ip         => '10.0.0.10',
      port       => '80',
      ip_based   => true,
      docroot    => '/var/www/first',
    }
    apache::vhost { 'The first IP-based vhost, ssl':
      servername => 'first.example.com',
      ip         => '10.0.0.10',
      port       => '443',
      ip_based   => true,
      docroot    => '/var/www/first-ssl',
      ssl        => true,
    }

Then, we will add two name-based vhosts listening on 10.0.0.20

    apache::vhost { 'second.example.com':
      ip      => '10.0.0.20',
      port    => '80',
      docroot => '/var/www/second',
    }
    apache::vhost { 'third.example.com':
      ip      => '10.0.0.20',
      port    => '80',
      docroot => '/var/www/third',
    }

If you want to add two name-based vhosts so that they will answer on either 10.0.0.10 or 10.0.0.20, you MUST declare add_listen => 'false' to disable the otherwise automatic 'Listen 80', as it will conflict with the preceding IP-based vhosts.

    apache::vhost { 'fourth.example.com':
      port       => '80',
      docroot    => '/var/www/fourth',
      add_listen => false,
    }
    apache::vhost { 'fifth.example.com':
      port       => '80',
      docroot    => '/var/www/fifth',
      add_listen => false,
    }

##Implementation

###Classes and Defined Types

####Class: apache::dev

Installs Apache development libraries

    class { 'apache::dev': }

On FreeBSD you're required to define apache::package or apache class before apache::dev.

####Defined Type: apache::listen

Controls which ports Apache binds to for listening based on the title:

    apache::listen { '80': }
    apache::listen { '443': }

Declaring this defined type will add all Listen directives to the ports.conf file in the Apache httpd configuration directory. apache::listen titles should always take the form of: <port>, <ipv4>:<port>, or [<ipv6>]:<port>

Apache httpd requires that Listen directives must be added for every port. The apache::vhost defined type will automatically add Listen directives unless the apache::vhost is passed add_listen => false.

####Defined Type: apache::namevirtualhost

Enables named-based hosting of a virtual host

    class { 'apache::namevirtualhost`: }

Declaring this defined type will add all NameVirtualHost directives to the ports.conf file in the Apache https configuration directory. apache::namevirtualhost titles should always take the form of: *, *:<port>, _default_:<port>, <ip>, or <ip>:<port>.

####Defined Type: apache::balancermember

Define members of a proxy_balancer set (mod_proxy_balancer). Very useful when using exported resources.

On every app server you can export a balancermember like this:

      @@apache::balancermember { "${::fqdn}-puppet00":
        balancer_cluster => 'puppet00',
        url              => "ajp://${::fqdn}:8009"
        options          => ['ping=5', 'disablereuse=on', 'retry=5', 'ttl=120'],
      }

And on the proxy itself you create the balancer cluster using the defined type apache::balancer:

      apache::balancer { 'puppet00': }

If you need to use ProxySet in the balncer config you can do as so:

      apache::balancer { 'puppet01':
        proxy_set => {'stickysession' => 'JSESSIONID'},
      }

###Templates

The Apache module relies heavily on templates to enable the vhost and apache::mod defined types. These templates are built based on Facter facts around your operating system. Unless explicitly called out, most templates are not meant for configuration.

##Limitations

This has been tested on Ubuntu Precise, Debian Wheezy, CentOS 5.8, and FreeBSD 9.1.

##Development

Overview

Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can’t access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

You can read the complete module contribution guide on the Puppet Labs wiki.

Running tests

This project contains tests for both rspec-puppet and rspec-system to verify functionality. For in-depth information please see their respective documentation.

Quickstart:

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake spec:system
