Ubuntu Bitnami stack. Another 'is this supported?' question

Question

Relating to this question can Bitnami be considered on-topic?

I flagged to close as off-topic, but think I might have been a bit too hasty. The answers about ssl certificates and virtual hosts is useful within Ubuntu installations as a whole. I know that httpd.conf can be used, but isn't created by default on regular Ubuntu installations.

I'm in two minds, I feel like a question that may end up with answers that don't point to apache configuration through /etc/apache2/ could be misleading.

I've looked at this and the other dupe/similar suggestions which lead on from it, but there's still a nagging suspicion that I'm being harsh.

Edit: Then after writing this I had a sudden feeling of self-assuredness and down voted the question, before reading the OPs edit. Now I feel like a jerk again! MUST PUT COFFEE DOWN!

Answer 1

I answered it rather than do anything else because:

• Apache is a core application in Ubuntu.
• We have loads of configuration questions about Apache.
• It's something I could answer. I feel that's more beneficial to everybody than shunting it to somewhere else for somebody else to answer.

When I opened the question and started answering it, it didn't mention Bitnami but even now it does, Apache is still a core app in Ubuntu, we still deal with a whole ton of Apache problems and it's still something I could be helpful on.

I'll freely admit it's a bit greyer than it would have been without the Bitnami stuff but ultimately I see nothing to suggest that it's anything but a change in location of configuration files. It's still Ubuntu and Apache.
