With Apache Version 2.4.27 apache changed how it handled symlinks.
I have 5 servers running DA and Apache 2.4.18 and all is well.
When I built a new server, all my programs broke. DA support tells me this is because my extensive use of a novel file structure based on symlinks is not supported by Apache 2.4.27+. DA now defaults to 2.4.38
I followed instructions here
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=565
to request 2.4.18 apache downgrade.
Following instructions: echo "apache:2.4.18:" > custom_versions.txt
[root@Smexy5 custombuild]# ./build apache
THE BUILD SHOWED THIS
Found /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/httpd-2.4.38.tar.gz << DA DID NOT DOWNLOAD 2.4.18
AND THIS
Patching apache for hardened symlinks patch... << Which is what is causing the problem
After this build of requested Apache 2.4.18, did apachectl -v:
ACTUAL installed version was 2.4.38
It appears that DA is simply not allowing for Apache Downgrades anymore?
How can I downgrade to 2.4.18 if using DA?
