upgrading to apache 2.0.54

[k.satirli]

I've been searching these forums but havent yet found a definitive answer outlining what I need to mind when I update to .54

.51 doesnt cut it with the application I'm using and I would prefer to still have a working apache after updaing

I'm guessing I can do it with yum, however I'd like to know if I need to remove something first, need to mind something special etc.

current setup:

Fedora Core 2
Plesk 7.5.3
Apache 2.0.51
no ASP, no Frontpage.

any thoughts?

I'd prefer ART rpms if possible - anyone got a real good walkthru ?

[EDIT]

SW-Soft says it shouldnt be a problem. so your help would be most greatly appreciated

You have to compile a RPM from with the new apache source. You will not find 2.0.54 on FC2 repository.

 

[k.satirli]

okay thank you. I'll have a go at that then

hm ok - I guess this just wont work for me.

Sure, downloading apache and MAKEing it and installing it should be no problem, but where should I install it?

I'm coming from a cPanel background and it was all so easy there lol

If you were missing apache - you'd install it one dir up where conf was.

Here, the conf is in /etc/ yet the apache is not

What's the latest RPM available?

[EDIT]

When I execute
rpm --install -ivh httpd-2.0.54-10.i386.rpm
I get a list of failed dependencies:

libcrypto.so.5 is needed by httpd-2.0.54-10
libdb-4.3.so is needed by httpd-2.0.54-10
liblber-2.2.so.7 is needed by httpd-2.0.54-10
libldap-2.2.so.7 is needed by httpd-2.0.54-10
libssl.so.5 is needed by httpd-2.0.54-10

So I guess as soon as I solve those, I should be good to go

You try to install a RPM package compiled for another OS, with other libraries. You must compile your own on your server from source. This is not related to Plesk or any control panel.

 

[k.satirli]

you're correct.

I had a go at the FedoraCore 4 RPM.

When I complained about cPanel being easier, I meant that it was easier to see where the httpd was actually installed.

 

[jamesyeeoc]

On RH type servers, httpd is usually in /usr/sbin/ and the config files are in /etc/httpd/conf/

 

[k.satirli]

the software I used was initially written for apache 1, I was hoping that the update to the latest 2.x version would solve the problems I had with it, however I found it easier to install apache 1 and just run it on port 81.

this saved me the headache of compiling and probably breaking the apache 2 installation.

now I just got to find out if its possible to have apache 2 listen on IP x.x.x.x on port 80 and apache 1 listen on IP y.y.y.y on port 80 with both installations on the same machine.

 

[jamesyeeoc]

In the httpd.conf file you can specify the 'Listen' command with an IPort combination. The conf file is well commented, you should see it with no problem. The default will show:

Listen 80

Just change it to:

Listen x.x.x.x:80 or Listen x.x.x.x:81

or whatever you need. Just don't try to have them both listening on the same IP and same port.

As long as you tell each apache a different IP I don't think you'll have any problem.

THANK YOU james,

you just made me a happy plesk customer

 

[jamesyeeoc]

Glad to hear it, but that's actually an apache feature, not specific to Plesk (in any case).
