My existing Apache is version 2.2.15, and the new one that I built from source, is version 2.2.3. The httpd.conf file from the old Apache has some lines in it like:
Timeout 120I know what all of those lines mean, but I'm confused because they don't exist in the httpd.conf file for the new Apache 2.2.3 that I built from source. And there's a directory /root/httpd/conf containing other .conf files that can be optionally loaded by uncommenting other lines in the Apache 2.2.3 httpd.conf file, but I searched those files and none of them contain a "Timeout" line, either.
Other directives, like KeepAlive, are defined in /root/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf, but those conf files are commented out by default in httpd.conf.
So, where does Apache 2.2.3 get its values for things like "Timeout" and "KeepAlive", does it just use hard-coded values that are used by defaults when the values aren't specified in the conf files?
Was there a general shift sometime between 2.2.15 and 2.2.3 regarding the philosophy of what should be specified in conf files -- 2.2.15 seems to specify values in the confs and depend on you to change them, whereas 2.2.3 doesn't specify values at all and depends on you to *add* (or uncomment) the lines if you want to use them. (I like the old way better, since then you could see what values your existing Apache was using, before you added lines changing those values!)
