Questions on the update to Apache 2.4

[Marius Schamschula]

William,

That’s a valid point. apache2 supports platforms other than darwin/macOS, even though I wonder how many installations there are under FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I certainly don’t use MacPorts on my FreeBSD boxen.

Under macOS there is no such thing as a /home or /usr/home directory. The second to last update to apache2 fixed this issue. No-one had noticed that this was not implemented in apache24-devel.
