Hi,

I have Apache 2.2.3 on RHEL 5.8. What procedures or steps I need to 

take to upgrade to the latest version 2.4.16?

Thanks.

I recently upgraded version 2.2.29 to 2.4.16 on Windows and the 

procedure was pretty simple.  In my case htdocs was completely separate 

from the core so the upgrade was just as normal as you would install a 

fresh server.

In my case, I first made the list of which modules are to be loaded; I 

also made a print out of the old config file just in case I get the 

folders wrong.  After this you can go ahead and the configuration you 

may need to do are as follows:

ServerName & port number
ServerAdmin
Config for server side includes
DirectoryIndex

Config for php and perl  - for php to decide whether to run as fastCGI 

or as a module

LoadModules
DocumentRoot

That is all I had to do;  The php was upgraded before apache was so the 

security features were already in place.

I guess in Linux environment it must be different but you get the idea.  

Be organized and document everything first before starting anything.

Good luck.
