Is there a migration path to apache24 on FreeBSD? FreeBSD changed its default Apache to apache24 in July 2014, and apache22 is no longer well-supported for security issues.

I tried installing apache24 from ports and copying over files from the /usr/local/etc/apache22/Include directory. I know some work is necessary on config files and access control statements (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html, which I have used successfully on other servers).

However, iRedMail also uses uses libapache2-mod-auth-mysql, which is not supported in apache24. This post about Ubuntu/Debian suggests an alternative, but I did not proceed for fear of breaking something in iRedMail:

Thanks in advance for advice on keeping this server current.
