 This page shows how to install and use the apache2 port. The instructions cannot be easily adapted to the other ports.
+
+== October 2017 - Apache 2.4.x ==
+In October of 2017 Apache 2.2.x  was upgrade to Apache 2.4.x. This involved a significant set of changes as listed in the Notes of the portfile:
+
+Apache2 has been migrated from the 2.2.x to the 2.4.x branch.
+    
+    The install paths have been changed to no longer violate the MacPorts mtree:
+    
+    1. The binaries are now under /opt/local/sbin/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/bin/)
+    
+    2. The configure files are now under /opt/local/etc/apache2/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/conf/)
+    
+    3. The modules are now under /opt/local/lib/apache2/modules/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/modules/)
+    
+    4. The web root is now located under /opt/local/www/apache2/html/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/)
+    
+    5. The cgi-bin is now located under /opt/local/www/apache2/cgi-bin/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/cgi-bin/)
+    
+    6. The logs are now located under /opt/local/var/log/apache2/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/logs/)
+    
+    7. The manual is now located under /opt/local/www/apache2/manual/
+       (rather than under /opt/local/apache2/manual/)
+    
+    8. The manual (man) pages are still at /opt/local/share/apache2/man/
+    
+    You can move your htdocs and cgi-bin to the new locations, or edit /opt/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf to point at the old
+    locations.
