Using Apache (OpenBSD version) on Linux

PlatinumX · 07-12-2010, 08:30 AM

Hey all,

I am not starting a flame here.
Just asking a simple question: as the OpenBSD project made a in-depth review of Apache source code in order to remove flaws, do you know if it is possible to use this version of Apache on Linux ?

Thanks

No idea, but if you'd like to try, start here: http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html

I'm not familiar with the nuances of OpenBSD's approach to ports, but you may need to get a copy of the ports tree, locate the Apache web server port, and figure out where it pulls its sources from (and apply any needed patches, etc.) before you'll have anything to (try to) compile.

Thanks for the advice.
