Because of the Apache24 subdirectory created in the unzipLocation path, it may tempt to change the path to more general like C:\tools so Apache will be placed directly among other programs. But this is quite dangerous, because the uninstallation will remove the unzipLocation path completely event with all other apps in it.

Since a lot of the packages that depend on the server-jre pull it without adding any parameters and many of them need to run as a service, with the way that it currently only installs JAVA_HOME to the User's Environment and adds %JAVA_HOME%/bin to the User's PATH, this doesn't end up actually working for most of those server packages because if they run as a service via the SYSTEM account, they can't find Java.exe in the PATH or see JAVA_HOME.

I'll see about making a pull request from my fork with this change, but I wanted to document some of the reasoning behind the change and I'll have to explore how to detect/clean up the User variables so that it doesn't break existing installs that were intentionally NOT system wide.

Getting the following error message when trying to install server-jre8:

Installing the following packages:
server-jre8
By installing you accept licenses for the packages.
Progress: Downloading server-jre8 8.0.152... 100%

server-jre8 v8.0.152 [Approved]
server-jre8 package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.
ERROR: Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "2" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."```

Expected Behaviour

I am trying to install elasticsearch on a system that sits behind a proxy. This fails to install it's dependecy server-jre8. So I tried to install that first manually via

choco install server-jre8 -y  --proxy="'<REMOVED>:8080'"

This is the output:

It looks like the download of the package is sucessfull (proxy settings are corectly loaded) but the chocolateyInstall.ps1 script that downloads the actual software completely ignores the proxy settings.

Expected Behaviour

Since I provide a --proxy flag to the command I expect the chocolateyInstall.ps1 script to use these proxy settings as well. If I omit the --proxy flag chocolatey correctly uses my global system settings but the install script fails nonetheless.

It would be helpful to have an option to include additional modules in the install.

Expected behavior

a string/array parameter that lists different optional modules provided by apachehaus to be installed with Apache
after installing Apache this parameter would be parsed to download/install the specified modules

Example

choco install apache-httpd --params "'/modules:mod_fcgid,mod_security,mod_maxminddb'"

would download and install the following

• mod_fcgid
• mod_security
• mod_maxminddb

module files are available on the downloads page

Could you please make the service creation optional? I'm running the server manually and don't want to run the service at all.

I recently installed Apache via chocolatey on Windows 7 SP1 and found the IPV6 listen value is missing from the httpd.conf file.

Expected

an IPV6 listen value such as
Listen [::0]:80

Actual

No IPV6 listen value in the httpd.conf file

When Apache-httpd is uninstalled the htdocs folder is removed in the uninstall.

As a default, if there is content in the htdocs folder; the folder should not be removed during the uninstall process.

Expected

The htdocs folder should not have been removed on uninstall as there was content in the folder beyond the default index.html file and the apache icon file.

Actual

The htdocs folder was completely removed on uninstall

Hi,

Oracle has recently release a new build of server-jre (8.0.181 -> 8.0.191) and deprecated the old one, making the current commited download link invalid.

@Pondidum beat me to it, see #31 for fix.

Many services attempt to default to Port 80 in windows, Skype is on of the most notorious for hog-tieing port 80.

As a best practice, Apache should not be configured to port 80 on install via chocolatey to avoid obvious port conflicts.

Expected

IPV4 and IPV6 Listen and ServerName values do not default to obvious port conflict values like port 80

Additionally, it would be helpful to pass a specified port number to the choco install of apache-httpd
such as choco install apache-httpd --port 8585

Actual

The Listen and ServerName values in httpd.conf are set to port 80

There is a problem when the service is started during installation because the ServerRoot is set to /Apache24 so it doesn't match the actual install path. This will throw a not fatal error during installation, however the installation finishes successfully. I'm not sure if this is easily fixable.

Currently, every update you get another %JAVA_HOME%\bin appended to your PATH

It would be helpful to have an option to select the VC version for the package.

Expected behavior

a string/array parameter that allows selecting one of the 3 VC versions that work with apache-httpd
this will download the appropriate dependency and the corresponding apache-httpd package.

options

• VC 14
• VC 11
• VC 9

Example

choco install apache-httpd --params "'/vc:11'"
