I searched the web for an Apache ver. 2.2.6 rpm package, but can't find one. Is there one out there? If not, then why not? I don't want one of the "src" ones, but one with the 'i386' tag. I'm a noobie so be gentle. Thanks.

Rpms are generally distro and version specific. So what distro are you running and what version.

I am running RHEL 4.

What is wrong with the version of apache 2 that comes with RHEL 4 ?

If you can't find an rpm and you really need to use the latest, it's actually very simply to build your own rpm from the src rpm. Come back if you need instructions.

Instructions would be great. Basically, I need to have Apache 2.2.6 for our server at work. I am new to Linux and have to figure out how to install Apache/PHP/MySQL and eZ Publish. Right now I am practicing with a spare box. I put RHEL 4 (which is the only version we have, but I don't have a key for it, so I can't just run the "up2date" command) on a box, but the default version of a Apache it comes with it 2.0.59, so I want to upgrade to 2.2.6. The only way I know how to do this is to "rpm -e" to get the old version off, then download and compile the 2.2.6 package using the ./configure, make, make install commands. I really would like to go the rpm route instead, if possible. Any help on the easiest way to upgrade to 2.2.6 would be appreciated. Thanks.

Short form instructions are (I'm in an airport)

Download the src rpm, to say, /usr/src

Make sure you have the rpmbuild package installed (I think it's called rpm-build - check with "yum list available rpm*")

Then all you have to do is

rpmbuild --rebuild packacge-name.src

And you should find that rpmbuild creates a whole directory structure un /usr/src/redhat with the rpm in there somewhere, probably /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 or similar.

Give it a go

Sorry cant' help more from here

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
