Apache 2.2 Deployment

This page documents deploying YETI on an Apache 2.2. This page attempts to be complete and correct, but may have errors and omissions. If you see something that doesn't make sense, doesn't look right, or plain doesn't work, please feel free to send an email to taxii@mitre.org with a question or comment.

Please note that other deployment configurations may work. This is the one that we have verified.
