Hi,
I am new to Apache on AIX. We have a system where Apache 2.4.12 has been installed on AIX 6.1. I need to upgrade it to latest 2.4.26. Looks like the previous install was an RPM based install.
I need some help with upgrading Apache.
1. What is the best process to upgrade to Apache 2.4.26. Can I use compile method instead of RPM which I am familiar with?
2. If I download latest RPM's from IBM and install them, will it not overwrite the existing apache installation in /opt/freeware...
3. In Aix looks like apache install files will be in /opt/freeware under several different directories. /opt/freeware will also have non-apache related libs/files. How to take backups of previous install in these directories if I have to restore if new install fails.
4. Following is a list of RPM's that were previously installed. Based on this list can you let me know what all rpm's will be required for apache 2.4.26 upgrade?
Last installed RPM's list:
