Apache httpd 2.4.1 Released

Stil not safe to upgrade to 2.4 on a production server?

Why not? We have on all our servers apache 2.4.1 without any problems

Why not? Well, read the previous pages, all errors and complaints seeying there, one would get the impression one has to be lucky to do upgrades without problems.

I'm also waiting, not doing any stuff on live production servers until it really works smoothly, next to that we got php 5.2.x running.
So I really well understand why his is asking.

On my side, ive updated without any issue...

Just remember to rebuild php after apache.

Regards

Updated without issues on PHP 5.3.10 / mod_ruid2 0.9.5 / mod_security2 2.6.5
Dont forget to recompile mod_ruid and/or mod_security

Was installed allready but must i compile apache again with 2.13 installed ?

mmh, not sure, but i dont think that

export PHP_AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf

is needed, the older autoconf from that package should have another filename and/or position.

But fout no answer on this server the custombuild version is.

Having the same problem... this only started a few days ago.. I could compile fine before that.

configure: error: Bundled APR requested but not found at ./srclib/. Download and unpack the corresponding apr and apr-util packages to ./srclib/.

Nobody has a answer to this problem?

It appears to be a common problem for Apache 2.4.x, look at the answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9436860/apache-httpd-setup-and-installation

When I look in my configure.apache "--with-included-apr" \ is already there, so perhaps just downloading those APR's would be enough.

Not a better solution in build to fix it ?

What Custombuild version are you using?

smtalk said:

CustomBuild 1.1.36 and 1.2.31 should be uploaded to DA servers today, with a fix for apr/apr-util.
