First time Apache upgrade
I have a 10.04.01 Ubuntu server running webmin version 1.620 and I want to upgrade my apache version from 2.2.14 to 2.2.24 before I upgrade to 2.4. Since this is the first time I"m doing this I did the following steps.
Code:
gunzip -d httpd-2.2.24.tar.gz Code:
apache2/httpd-2.2.24# ./configure Thanks! |
I believe this error is caused because you don't have the compiler installed, which you can install with:
Code:
sudo apt-get update |
Thanks for the quick reply!
I"m going to go ahead and install that package and try again. |
That totally helped thanks.
But before I install I noticed that there is a specific set of instructions for upgrading apache as opposed to installing a whole version which was the steps I was following. What would be the better option to do then? should I do what the apache document says to do during an upgrade or should I just do a whole new install with the upgraded version of apache? Here are the instructions for upgrading in the apache docs Quote:
Thanks! |
I would use the stable, Ubuntu-supported apache, personally (unless I had a specific reason to upgrade, a spare testing system, and time/manpower to address any issues that might arise due to the upgrade).

Well I have a working web server now with a site on it, would upgrading to the full version change any of the settings I have now for my site? Thats my biggest worry actually. I have two options I can do a slow upgrade from 2.2.14 to 2.2.24 then go to 2.4 or I can just go straight into 2.2.14 to 2.4.
Also is there an Ubuntu specific version of Apache? I was just going to use the package from the apache.org site. Thanks again! |
If your web server is working fine, what is the reason/purpose for the upgrade? The more details you give, the better advice you will get from the forum experts.
Here is the Ubuntu 10.04 documentation for installing and configuring apache: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/httpd.html |
Well since I"m runnning Coldfusion server on this server I did an security prob found here https://foundeo.com/hack-my-cf/
I ran a scan and one of the critical issue it found was that I have an older version of Apache Quote:
Hope that helps. Thanks! |
What are the specific "security issues" and what is their impact? The "critical issue" you have quoted is completely non-informative.
You can check the Ubuntu 10.04 apache2 changelog to see if the specific security issues you are worried about have been patched: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changel...8.11/changelog I see that it was patched with three security updates (maybe the ones you are concerned about, though I have absolutely know way of knowing that) on March 8, 2013. Here is an article to help you understand version numbering in long-term-support Linux distributions: https://access.redhat.com/security/u...g/?sc_cid=3093 (written for Red Hat but the concepts also apply to Ubuntu) Quote:
