Apache version

anjanesh · 06-22-2006, 08:25 AM

In Windows, Apache -v will give

Code:

Server version: Apache/2.0.58
Server built:   Apr 29 2006 17:47:10

What do I have to enter to get this in Linux ?

I tried many options with httpd, apache - but shows command not found.

Thanks

Try, "apachectl -v". On my system I get

Code:

Server version: Apache/2.2.0
Server built:   May 26 2006 07:34:53

Code:

-bash: apachectl: command not found

Im pretty sure its Apache 2.x because it shows Apache 2.0 handler in phpinfo - but Im trying to figure out the exact version.

If its not in your path, use "find" or "locate" to search for its location and then run it using the full path e.g. on my system its in /usr/local/apache2/bin.

apachectl -v doesn't tell me my apache version. However, you can find the exact version with a GET method like so:

Code:

telnet localhost 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
<hit enter here>

Now, you should see information regarding your apache server along with the documentroot page that you just requested.

Another way is to use php. Just do

PHP Code:


			
print phpinfo();

If you look at the apache handler section, it tells you the version of apache you are running.

Code:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:08:16 GMT
Server:
Content-Length: 292
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

phpinfo() shows only Apache 2 handler - not the exact version number.

When I use phpinfo() on my Suse 10.1 box and go to the apache2handler section, I get

Code:

Apache/2.2.0 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.4

On my CentOS 4.3 (RHEL 4.3) server, apachectl shows the version number of apache as follows

Code:

[root@mulberry ~]# apachectl -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.52
Server built:   Jan  5 2006 12:31:31
[root@mulberry ~]#

Apparently, I had to give the full path /usr/sbin/apachectl -v to get it to work.
Shows Server version: Apache/2.0.51
Thanks.

BTW, reddazz, you are using Apache 2.2.x and not 2.0.x on your Suse 10.1 box which is probably why you are getting the version number in phpinfo. So far I havent seen the version number for Apache 2.0.x in phpinfo.
On my phpinfo page, Apache Version shows blank while Apache API Version shows 20020903.

Hi i am using apache vertion 3.Apache/2.0.40 which does not support html page to post with the server
after that I install apache 1.3.33 which support posting just by submitng the page but getting error message

Method Not Allowed

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /~extranet/ut/frt_tmp.php.

pls help me

anjanesh · 10-05-2006, 04:45 AM

I think you're talking about html pages not parsing PHP code.
Add this line to httpd.conf file or to your .htaccess file

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

muha · 10-05-2006, 09:36 AM

Code:

httpd2 -V

Works on my suse (from any dir)(as root).
It gives the apache version.

prasanna_cpw · 10-09-2006, 01:31 AM

I did what you asked me to do

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
in httpd.con file and restart the httpd server

but problem remian same

pls help me

@prasanna_cpw: which linux distribution are you on?
- apache 1.33 is somewhat older. You could update it (not essential for your problem maybe).
- I'd say your php might not be installed (or configured) correctly.
If you have rpm packages on your distro do this to check what you have installed for php:

Code:

$ rpm -qa |grep php
php4-gd-4.4.0-6.18
apache2-mod_php4-4.4.0-6.18
php4-mysql-4.4.0-6
php4-4.4.0-6.18
php4-devel-4.4.0-6.18
php4-zlib-4.4.0-6
php4-session-4.4.0-6.18
