SuSE default 'apache/dir' attribute issue

This is definitely something that can be changed in the attributes. We don't test on suse at all, so I'm not surprised if there are differences.

Likely there are several attributes for suse that are inaccurate.

If you want to go ahead and work through updating the attributes section, please feel free! You'll likely want to work against the COOK-3900 branch for now.

Hi!

Thank you for using the apache2 cookbook. We currently actively working on the COOK-3900 branch on adding Apache 2.4 support to the cookbook. Currently SuSE not something we have been testing SuSE. We would love to add better support for this platform and I specificly created a milestone for this and added some of the older tickets from before we took over the cookbook.

I think the best way to approach SuSE support is by adding it to the .kitchen.yml and work on making the chefspec and serverspec tests pass on that platform.

We usually hang out at https://gitter.im/onehealth-cookbooks/apache2 in case you would like to discuss adding SuSE support in more real-time.

The issue that I have with proceeding with a separate 'suse' case is that I don't know enough about apache2 to know how many other attributes need to be defined and what their values are. I'll forge ahead and see how it goes.

I wonder if anyone as tried this on SuSE ;)

@rednevals I have grouped all the SuSE related tickets I could find https://github.com/onehealth-cookbooks/apache2/issues?milestone=4 and we will support you any way we can.

Sorry, being locked into the Equifax VPN, I am not able to get to the IM site.

I am a beginner++ at chef, so please be gentle.

I submitted one more change today that is getting me closer. I made sure to merge the latest upstream changes first, before creating the pull request. I might try to get on the IRC on my MacBook later...

Any recommendations on an OS X IRC client, or is that not needed?

@rednevals the gitter chat is not an IRC channel - you access it via a web browser.

Although if you are looking for an IRC client, my personal favorite is limechat. :)
