Apache2 rev bump for OpenSSL update

[Marius Schamschula]

I agree that it’s time to do something about apache. The ticket bellow is four years old, and I added myself to the CCs 21 months ago…

As someone that has used apache 2.4.x since 2012 (my old hmug.org builds), and under MacPorts as apache24-devel for over two years (although I’m down to a single machine using it, and I may end up replacing it with nginx), it boggles my mind that Apple has been shipping apache 2.4.x with OS X since Yosemite, and MacPorts is still stuck at 2.2.x.

Using apache24-devel with php is somewhat complicated, as building the php-apache2handler against apache24-devel requires me to maintain my own branch of php, as php-apache2handler forces apache2 to be installed. Having apache24 would make this easier for others. I have not had any luck getting php-fpm to work with apache24-devel, though it works nicely with nginx.

Of course, all my Linux and FreeBSD machines use apache 2.4.x, and I like consistency in server setup.
