We've been creating new virtual servers at work using Ubuntu snapshots on Openstack.
Most of these new instances are, unfortunately, bare bones. This is due to Openstack being new to most of us; and as our config engineers start to create more robust template snapshots - hopefully won't be as bare-bones going forward.
I was told by my manager during the initial setup that I shouldn't use apt-get for the installation of Jenkins. I was curious about that but didn't inquire at the time.
A day ago I did try using apt-get after my initial build of Apache 2.2 ran into issues when I enabled all modules.
At the initial install using apt-get I noted that the default install directory was under /etc/apache2.
Another unconventional difference was putting the port where the apache HTTP server runs into the ports.conf file under the root directory. I tried to override this by updating httpd.conf but that was not read when I restarted.
Finally I realized I had to use a2enmod command to install the rewrite module and then use the service command to restart Apache.
Ultimately, after all these quirky changes for Apache on Ubuntu, I tried to rebuild using the tar distribution I built earlier.
This time I specified all the modules that I wanted when I did configure on the command line [in addition to those supplied by default], ran make and did a make install. I was then able to start Apache and configure everything in httpd.conf under the conf directory.
Sometimes going back to the classic installation method is the best way to go.
