I'm hoping someone is doing something similar and can assist. I have a server that had been running 14 and Apache2.2 and I had it configured to accept connections only from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet I provide for the use of my students.

Fast forward...after the summer holidays, I just <fool>blindly upgraded</fool> to -current and Apache2.4 was installed and I'm finding the changes to the config files as baffling as if they were written in Martian...

Can anyone point me to some easily digestible howto's that will 'splain it all? or would it be easier to just remove 2.4 and reinstall 2.2?

You can always revert back to 14.0 if that's what you're looking for? 14.0 is still supported.

Have you looked at this: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html ?

thanks Brian...I've been through that and it appears that the pertinent reading is the page that details mod_authz_core...perhaps when I get this internalized I'll do a howto and publish it for those who want some simpler instructions...'d just rather not downgrade as the easy way out

Wouldn't it just be:

Require ip 192.168.0.0/24

according to https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mo...uthz_host.html?

this was quite helpful...there was one module that needed un-commenting and one extra config file that needed a tweak...thanks very much for the clues.

Glad you got it sorted. I will be doing the same thing soon.
