There are scanner reports that the downloaded file contains viruses, not all scanners.

Scanners like defender on Windows reports that all is fine.

Hello

I had already pointed out some differences here : https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=44157#44157
and there still here.

I would really appreciate it if you could replace all occurrences of error_log to error.log
and access_log to access.log.

Thanks

[admin]

Thank you for your response and apologies that we missed your earlier request.

The AL filename format changed with the switch to CMake builds, since the source official template file docs/conf/httpd.conf.in contains the references to access_log and error_log which end up in httpd.conf.

For as long as I can remember those have been the default names when building with CMake or using the configure script under Linux. The only exception I know is Apache builds on Ubuntu, which defaults to access.log and error.log.

We are not changing it. It is part of the official Apache source code.

You have to change it manual.

Updated with OpenSSL 3.6.3 and added zstd libraries.

The last update has the wrong date. It shows “07” instead of “17”.
