APache 2 upgrade

[puma75]

Im trying to upgrade to apache 2 but dont really know what im doing.

I tried :

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build update
./build apache_mod_ssl

Apparently this upgrades to the latest version of apache but its still 1.3.x, how do I get apache 2.

It has errors anyway,

Configuring mod_ssl/2.8.25 for Apache/1.3.34
./configure:Error: Cannot find Apache 1.3 source tree under ../apache_1.3.35
./configure:Hint: Please specify location via --with-apache=DIR


Thanks,

Paul

Hi, if you realy don't know what you are doing then don't do it!!! It can get you and your system in lots of trouble!!

Otherwise if you will take the risk goto this it's the HowTo to upgrade your Apache.

Mod_ssl is not for apache2

But i wasnt using apache 2, still using 1.3.x at the moment

I upgraded to apache 2 following the instructions but had an error :
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 66 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As I was scared of having downtime I thought id go back to apache 1.3.x and then leave things alone if they are working / im scared stiff of breaking it.

But after following the instructions to downgrade from apache 2 to 13x i get this when trying to restart apache :

Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/httpd/conf/ips.conf:
Invalid command 'SuexecUserGroup', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Please help to get it working again!

Move your httpd.conf to a safe place, make sure your customapache points to 1.3x, and rerun the customapache update.

(Search the forums if you need specific instructions.)
