[pixeltrace]

Hi,

 

i installed linux redhat 9 and it already has apache 2.0.20

now, i wanted to upgrade my apache to 2.0.43

 

my problem now, i dont know where to get the

upgrade file and how.

 

 

hope you could help me with this. and if you could give me

the link where to download the upgrade file.

i would appreciate it very much.

 

thanks!

i would suggest to use yum or apt-get

 

sh# yum install httpd

or

sh# apt-get install httpd

 

it will automatically update your apache server.

usually apt-get and yum store your existing httpd.conf file but i would suggest to make a backup of it.

 

hope this will help

Typically, when using apache from redhat (as with other distros), you are tied to the "current stable" version of the software. I.e. apache 2.0.20. If you want a specific version of 2.0.43, you might have to compile it yourself, or look to see if there is a rebuilt rpm out there.

 

yum upgrade

 

will take down the latest stable version of apache.
