Update Apache 2.0.52 to 2.2.3

[Lithgow]

I am running a box just I just upgraded to Plesk 8.1 and some problems are occuring due to people hacking the box with exploits.

Does anyone have a guide or anything to update Apache on the server it is running RHEL4.

My friend is more Linux literate than I am so you will have to excuse my stupidity on the subject

Thanks in advance

You shouldn't need to upgrade to 2.2.3 to get all the fixes, as redhat backport all the major fixes them to the version they distributed. You should be able to run "up2date httpd" and it'll upgrade automatically for you.

I tried running up2date but it wanted me to create a redhat account which I did, now it is saying

[root@dataprism ~]# up2date httpd

You need to get your provider or redhat's (whoever you bought your license through) assistance to fix this and it should work fine.

Ah ok, thanks for your help I'll try and sort this out

Read http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html for more info about backporting.

I'm attempting to setup Ruby on Rails on a dedicated box running Red Hat Fedora Core 4, Apache 2.0.54 and Plesk 8.0. I would like to upgrade Apache to 2.2.3 so I can use the mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy_http modules (only availabe for the upgraded version). Is there a way of doing this without screwing up Plesk?

I'd upgrade to Plesk 8.1.0 which comes with Ruby on Rails.
