Apache 2.4.28 update today? (was:Re: Apache 2.4 any time soon?)

Sat Oct 28 20:12:11 UTC 2017

Correction on the earlier answer below by Marius regarding Certbot certs
and IP addresses:  It appears that Certbot certificates are NOT tied to the
IP address.  The error I was getting was because I wasn't using sudo on the
apachectl -t command (duh!), and the LetsEncrypt files are in private
folders.  Simply using sudo showed the syntax as OK and the SSL certs work
fine.

New question on modules:  I admit to having no idea what some of these
modules do and whether to load them or not.  That said, it appears that the
rewrite function isn't working on my Apache 2.4, despite having mod_rewrite
loaded.  Specifically, the modified permalinks structure in WordPress sites
is broken, but it probably affects other sites/functions as well.

I've turned some of the modules which are off by default to 'on' to return
other missing functionality (see the first list below),  but I'm unclear on
what else might be missing, especially with regard to the rewrite
function.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
