Apache Version Issue - PCI Compliance

[spaceair]

Afternoon all,

Setup
Virtualbox 4.3.6
Debian 7.3.0
Plex 11.5.30

We are trying to get PCI Compliance, however it seems that the version of Apache2 that Plex installs is 2.2.22 (apachectl -v tells me this) and it needs to be higher than that. Have found very little on this elsewhere so hoping someone else will have battled this and have an answer. If you need any more info from me incl screenshots please shout.

Many thanks,

J

Is it possible to upgrade Apache to the latest version from an OS update?

Hi, thanks for the reply..

I have updated the OS version of Apache using both apt-get and downloading the installer however whenever I run apachectl -v it tells me I'm running 2.2.22.. Is this the Plex version of Apache or the OS version of Apache, and if so, how do I find the OS version of Apache that is running.

Thanks,
J

Hi Spaceair,

CentOS usually backports fixes into the shipped version. You can find more information regarding software versions and PCI audits in the CentOS FAQ: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-3dad8cb98ac535185e58e882a23ca4b096cbff2f
