We upgraded our fleet through our management software and are not experiencing any problems.

Tried on centos 4.4 final, working fine but mod_frontpage isn't working.

It shouldn't work :) mod_frontpage doesn't support apache 2.2

Yes, that is correct.

In addition, Microsoft will be EOL'ng Frontpage Extensions anyway, so it is nothing to really "worry" about.
 
Microsoft EOLd FPX some time ago.

When will it be removed from DA? I've yet to find a user to use this feature.

I know I can just unload it in the modules list, but I'm waiting on DA to remove it from the user level.
 
My guess is that DA staff is going to leave it in as long as they contractually can under the terms of the license (it's free as in BEER but it's not a free-license software).

Why would anyone want to do that? Because there are some people who want it.

mod_frontpage will be removed from DirectAdmin with Apache 2.2 by default, it will use mod_dav as it's alternative.
 
This is what I did to upgrade apache 2.0.59 to 2.2.4 (based on a post by Wael)

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
rm -fr build
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/build
chmod 755 build
./build update
./build clean
./build update_data_ap2
perl -pi -e 's/2.0.59/2.2.4/' build
wget http://apache.scarlet.be/httpd/httpd-2.2.4.tar.gz
./build apache_2
./build php_ap2 n
./build zend
./build mod_perl_ap2
/sbin/service httpd restart
 
blueice, no, it requires some more testing :) Also, maybe few things with 2.2.4 will be changed (as configuration etc.). A new beta version should be released next week.
 
dependency issues

When I tried to follow the above steps it didnt compile as it required "apr".

Whats the smartest way to install the required "apr" and update expat and perl to the required version ?
 
Try:
Code:
ln -sf /usr/bin/apr-1-config /usr/bin/apr-config
 
I did this upgrade and now I can't restart apache. Can anyone help?

Thanks -Kobe
 
After the upgrade I tried to restart httpd. When I try to restart through DA I receive this message:
An error has occurred

Details

/sbin/service httpd restart 2>&1

I still need more information.

service httpd configtest

in shell, and what version did you upgrade from?

./build zend
./build mod_perl_ap2

I ran this in Shell.
It ran fine, then I noticed that httpd wasn't running. I tried a few times to restart. I even tried
apt-get install libperl-dev

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache

./build all
