yum doesn't know when you install a programme by compiling it that it is there unless you update the package history database, so it goes by it's previous record (the apache version that you superseded). There is a yum option to exclude specific packages from a yum update. I seem to recall that it is --exclude <package> but you can find it in the man file. The newer version of yum, dnf, is a bit more flexible if you have the option to update, and the command for dnf is -x <package name> Regards, John ========================= On Friday 10 November 2017 16:24:35 Rose, John B wrote: > It seems as though “yum” update has replaced Apache modules installed in > the default installation, that we had removed after the initial install > because they weren’t used. > > Is there some way to prevent that from happening? > > thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
