7.5.4 upgrade question

[cmaxwell]

Can anyone tell me if Apache is shut down during the upgrade from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4?

I have upgraded a couple of servers already but forgot to check if it stopped httpd during the upgrade... ideally it wouldn't stop httpd but I can't remember if it did.

Thanks for any input anyone has.

Best Regards,

I believe it does shutdown all services which would be updated/upgraded, including Apache, mySQL, etc.

You can check the updater log in /tmp (it's usually pretty long).

Ideally on minor updates there should be little or no interruption of service. I don't consider 7.5.4 to be a minor update/upgrade. Lots of pretty hefty changes for a minor version number.... (just my opinion)

It does stop anything it needs to upgrade, including apache. Upgrading 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 on our FreeBSD only means 10 minutes downtime.
