Description
Describe the Bug
The documentation for the apache::servername directive at https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppetlabs/apache/reference#-apache--servername (source at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache/blob/main/manifests/init.pp#L307C1-L309C55) says that this "Sets the Apache server name via Apache's ServerName directive." However, the servername option is not used any further in init.pp, and in particular it does not get passed into the default or default-ssl vhosts.
Expected Behavior
The servername directive is used to set the servername directive in the default/default-ssl vhosts.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set the
servernamedirective, such as by
servername => 'example.com',
default_https_vhost => true,
}
- Apply the config
- Inspect the resulting
15-default-80.confand15-default-ssl-443.conffiles, and see thatServerNameis set todefaultinstead ofexample.com
Environment
- Version 12.1.0
- Platform RHEL8/9
Additional Context
Changing this is going to involve some sort of breaking change, especially since the filename is set based on the servername value.

Research direction
Start in manifests/init.pp around the documented apache::servername parameter, then trace how the default and default-ssl vhosts produce 15-default-80.conf and 15-default-ssl-443.conf. Confirm the current ServerName behavior and account for the filename compatibility concern. Done means the parameter reaches both vhosts with documented, tested behavior.
