Helping someone move a website from one WAMP stack to another. The site is currently running on Server 2008 R2 64 Bit and has Apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.4.3, & MySQL 5.5.24. also all 64bit.

I need to move over to a different WAMP stack that is the same with the exception of Apache being 2.4.2.

How do you translate a 2.2.22 httpd.conf into a 2.4.2 one?

Is there anything else I need to worry about changing besides that config file if everything else stays the same?

I saw that page, a little intense...

I am not trying to learn how to build an apache server from scratch. I am taking someone elses work and just moving it to a different version of apache.

What would be ideal would be something telling me what lines I need to worry about making sure are changed because otherwise the website wont work. I really do not have time to learn what every command does to recode this thing.

You can use most of you existing config. The thing that has changed is the auth stuff (Allow,Deny)
I recommend to install 2.4 parallel to your existing 2.2 and then migritate.
When I made it, I took just my vhosts into the new config and adjusted the auth stuff.
