Re: New to apache

Actually, it would be quite easy to unzip an Apache 2.4 build (or even just a newer 2.2 build) next to the existing 2.2 install and configure it. Shut down the existing 2.2 and start up the new 2.4 (or the new 2.2). It might take a few goes back-n-forth, but if you can afford a little down time this is the approach I would take.

Cheers,

Colin

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.
