How to apply a patch to apache 2.2.3

Do you mean patches to Apache? To upgrade Apache just download a new release when its available. Upon installation the installer should give you the option to upgrade.

 

Alternatively just backup your conf/ and/or htdocs/ folder(s) and uninstall Apache completely and then install your newer version. Once installed overwrite the new conf/ and/or htdocs/ folder(s) with your previous one(s).

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

We have Apache 2.2.3 running on windows platform.

 

 

Being new to Apache, would like to know the prerequesites/steps that

need to be followed before upgrading to new version(2.2.10).Can i

directly go for 2.2.10 or start from 2.2.4 n so on ...

 

I have another query, can I apply patches to current version or directly opt for upgrade, whats the procedure of doing either of it

 

Waiting for your reply,

 

Regards,

Oh wow....  Apparently the Apache org doesn't offer zipped archives of Windows binaries any more.  It's either an installer or source files.

 

How I would do it:

 

-Download http://www.axint.net/apache/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.2.10-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8i.msi

-Copy your httpd.conf somewhere outside of the folder in which Apache is currently installed.

-Install the new download over the old Apache copy.

-Over write the new httpd.conf with your old one.

 

Then you should be good to go.
