How can I upgrade package on very old FC distribution?


I have one old FC1 box around that have not been upgraded since its first day in service. Is it possible to upgrade httpd on it? I can't find any rpm but is there any way to get source rpm for Apache 2.2?

Thanks

Install Fedora 15 (the oldest currently supported) or newer.

If you don't like frequent upgrades, Fedora is not the distro for you... try something in the Red Hat family like CentOS.

If the box is actually running Fedora Core, it is well beyond support and updating it with Fedora update tools is not possible.

OK. I've built a couple of packages from source and it took some time to get them working. The server is now on life support and will get a new server to install CentOS 6.2
