The httpd web server previously started its main process as root
privileged, then ran worker processes as a less privileged identity user.
This was changed to start all of httpd as a less privileged user (defined by
<xref linkend="opt-services.httpd.user"/> and
<xref linkend="opt-services.httpd.group"/>). As a consequence, all files that
are needed for httpd to run (included configuration fragments, SSL
certificates and keys, etc.) must now be readable by this less privileged
user/group.

<para>
The default value for <xref linkend="opt-services.httpd.mpm"/>
has been changed from <literal>prefork</literal> to <literal>event</literal>. Along with
this change the default value for
<link linkend="opt-services.httpd.virtualHosts">services.httpd.virtualHosts.&lt;name&gt;.http2</link>
has been set to <literal>true</literal>.
