Re: New to apache (Apache Users)

Yes, if it's an option I'd *strongly* urge you to clone one of the servers you're needing to upgrade (at least in terms of the Apache) and try the upgrade there. If you can clone it as a VM of some sort that would work even better because you could set everything up, snapshot it, do your work, and if there's a problem just roll it back.

A lot depends on which modules and how you're using them too. Upgrades in my experience have not been *quite* as bad if you're using just standard Apache modules (like mod_rewrite). If you're using third-party things that Apache doesn't support directly, then you could run into issues with versions there.

But then again, I've only ever done Apache on Solaris/Linux, so YMMV as they say.

Someone else pointed you to the release notes I think. The main issue
will be with local configuration.

Not sure what that is. Sounds like Windows? Can't help you there if
it is. I run Unix everywhere.
