The way I upgraded to 2.2.19 was first copying my configuration file somewhere safe; then uninstalling apache from the servers; then start a fresh install of apache 2.2.19. You then need to copy your old configuration file back to the server so that you don't need to waste any more time. Caveat: I upgraded from 2.2.17 >> 2.2.19 so perhaps it was easy. hth Nathan Tuggy wrote: > Just upgraded from 2.2.10 to 2.2.19 [*], and Windows service won't start > -- it gives me two lines in the error log (LogLevel is set to debug) > claiming that it's starting up: > > Starting the Apache2.2 service > The Apache2.2 service is running. > > Then it silently dies. > > Running httpd from the command-line seems to work fine, giving > reasonable messages in the logs and serving pages correctly, but using > httpd -k start or the Windows service manager to attempt to start the > service never leaves the parent process running more than a second or two. > > Given that my configuration hasn't changed, except for the upgrade, does > anyone have any ideas? > > *To upgrade, I uninstalled, then installed with the openssl-enabled MSI > -- the MSI package didn't seem to want to upgrade in place, and kept > complaining that the product with that ID was already installed, or > words to that effect. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
