Bug#234650: Looks like version bit rot
It seems that things must have changed just enough in apache-ssl for my
previous httpd.conf file to stop working. When I rebuilt it by starting
with the httpd.conf file now distributed with apache-ssl, I eventually
got everything going again.
In the process I discovered some changes in the currently distributed
httpd.conf file that may break existing practices. For example, aliases
are provided that remap /icons/ and /images/ to directories under
/usr/share; this will break web pages that have their own images and
icons directories. These should probably be disabled by default.
Other changes are problematical since they may also break existing
practice, but a case can be made for them because of increased default
security. E.g., the currently distributed httpd.conf file disables the
generation of directory listings. I'm not sure if this should be
considered a bug or not.
