In looking at the DEFAULT_VHOST config and I can opt not to put -D DEFAULT_VHOST which disables loading of vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf but the vhosts.d/default_vhost.include is always loaded from httpd.conf no matter what. This has settings for the localhost DocumentRoot and stuff that I will not be using since I have disabled DEFAULT_VHOST. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove -D DEFAULT_VHOST and -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST from /etc/conf.d/apache 2. mv /var/www/localhost /var/www/localhost- 3. start apache Actual Results: # /etc/init.d/apache2 start * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files: Syntax error on line 20 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include: DocumentRoot must be a directory Expected Results: successful apache start Perhaps it is a mistake that default_vhost.include is still Included from httpd.conf since it is also included from inside of 00_default_vhost.conf?
It has just moved from httpd.conf to an include file, because the default virtual hosts use the same configs, but inside <VirtualHost>

there was _NO_ change in functionality. see http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/apache/trunk/dist/2.2/conf/httpd.conf?r1=155&r2=160 it has just moved.
