Make httpd dependent on network services

For systemd, it is possible that httpd starts before the network, so the process does not find the network interfaces it needs. Symptoms are similar to:

Jan 06 21:09:04 now510.local httpd[806]: (99)Cannot assign requested address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 1.2.3.4:80
Jan 06 21:09:04 now510.local httpd[806]: no listening sockets available, shutting down

The solution is to declare httpd's dependency on network services. For details on how to do that, see how to declare a service dependency|.

Prevent Access to the cgi-bin Script

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Require all denied
</Directory>

Configure httpd to Start at Boot

systemctl enable httpd

Start and Smoke

Start the instance and make sure it starts fine with the default configuration.
