Re: Question regarding OS support for Apache version 2.2.21....

[Mark Hamer <mhamer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark

That is what I was asking....if it will
install and run without trouble.   I plan on uprading it.   Currently
I have the following Apache version installed and running.

# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix)
Server built:   Jan 28 2008
06:24:44


# rpm -qa|grep http
httpd-manual-2.2.8-1.fc8
httpd-2.2.8-1.fc8
httpd-tools-2.2.8-1.fc8
system-config-httpd-1.4.4-1.fc8


# cat redhat-release
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)

# uname -m
i686

What, specifically, do you mean by "is supported"?

If you mean, "will it compile and run without trouble, compared to
other 
versions of Apache HTTP Server?" then the answer is "yes, it
should".

If you mean, "can I ask questions about it here?" then the answer
is "yes".

If you mean "is this version distributed by the Fedora Project for
Fedora 8, and will they update and maintain a package for it?" then
the 
answer is "no".  In fact, Fedora 8 itself is no longer supported
by the 
Fedora Project:  Fedora 8 reached its end of life on January 7th,
2009.  
If you want to run a version of Fedora that is supported by the Fedora
Project then you should use Fedora 16.
