Resolved Apache upgrade to latest version

[Scottpr]

Hi

I am using the latest version of plesk - Onyx 17.0.17 and CentOS Linux 7.3.1

Looking at the apache version it seems to be a very old version, 2.4.6 Apache latest version of 2.4 is current 2.4.26. So we are 20 releases behind !

Just wondering why plesk does not upgrade it to the latest version when i look for updates ?

Kind Regards

Scott

Hi Scott

Plesk does not provide Apache. It's installed from OS repos.

CentOS based on RH. RHEL 7: based on upstream v2.4.6 (c) https://access.redhat.com/solutions/445713

Fixes are backported to v.2.4.6:
[root@localhost yum]# yum info httpd

Plesk doesn't ship Apache, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with Apache 2.4.6 then Plesk would run Apache 2.4.6 for clients.
Recently I spent much time for resolving different compilation issues and compiled the latest version of Apache for Plesk manually. As you can see it works now:

So how do us mere mortals get our hands on what you have IgorG?

Just go through all this quest of compilation and you will get what you want. Sorry, but it's really hard to document. A lot of different specifics there.

Hi Heath,

"compiling" your very own "apache" - webserver on your server is a pure server administrator task and is not related to Plesk or it's products and components/extensions. Pls. consider to ask such a question at for example: => Home > Forum > General Discussion > Open Topics


( You are as well able to find previous tutorials/contributions from the Plesk Community Members at: => Important - Plesk Contributors and their Solutions. . You could consider to ask for a decent, actual tutorial/contribution at the "Open - Topics" - forum and your wish might come true. )

I cannot find where in Plesk control panel to check Apache version..........

Also....not all modules are listed........for instance I need
mod_access_compat
Because all of a sudden, since the TON of updates on Fri 9-15-17, many of my sites are now broken

.htaccess does not work as it did before
