httpd.confand per-site virtual hosts to host multiple domains under a single server. - Performance Tuning & Caching: Leverage
mod_cache,mod_deflate, andmod_expiresto reduce latency, boost throughput, and cache static assets effectively. - Security Hardening: Implement SSL/TLS with
mod_ssl, enforce security headers (HSTS, CSP), and integratemod_securityrules to guard against OWASP Top 10 threats. - Module Management & Rewrites: Enable and configure core modules (
mod_rewrite,mod_headers,mod_proxy) to handle URL rewriting, header manipulation, and proxying to backend apps. - Load Balancing & Reverse Proxy: Use
mod_proxy_balancerand proxy settings to distribute traffic across multiple application servers for high availability. - Logging & Monitoring: Customize
CustomLogandErrorLogformats, parse logs withLogFormat, and hook into monitoring stacks (Nagios, Prometheus) for uptime and performance alerts. - Automated Deployment & DevOps: Automate Apache installs and config updates with Ansible/Chef/Puppet, keep configs in Git, and roll out blue/green deployments to minimize downtime.
