nazeer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi all, We have Apache 2.2.3 webserver installed on Windows 2003. I would like to know, Process(steps) to apply any latest patch available. Thanks, Nazeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You can also just download the zip package and take what binaries/dlls you want, along with any extensions, although if there are any changes between Apache versions in the conf file, you will need to redo your conf file if you take this path.

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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You should just be able to replace the right (exes, extensions, and dlls) files. Make sure to keep your httpd.conf and any related files the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadivem Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Can you guys give more details on it like step be step ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
