This question may sound like a definite sign of brain deficiency to some of you, but I hope you stay helpful regardless of your personal feelings :-} Generally speaking, I find it very hard to get version information on most of the packages I have installed. There seems to be no way of telling what version of a software is installed by looking at the rpm's. rpm's come with a version number but where is that version number after a software is installed. Specifically, I am trying to figure out what version of httpd is installed on my machine. I recently upgraded to RH 9 from the official upgrade CD's. I found a number rpm files in /var/spool/up2date/ for httpd and php and other things, but I cannot find whether I have them installed or not. Sounds funny? I looked through documentation on http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/database/database_php/ to get a clue but that documentation seems totally out of date. Through a previous attempt I found out that I can no longer look for apache because it is replaced with httpd. But that site is still for apache. I decided just to make sure I should reinstall httpd from rpm's. No help, here's what's happening When I do: rpm -i httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.3.i386.rpm I get the message: package httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.3.i386.rpm is not installed Then when I do: rpm -i httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.3.i386.rpm I get the message package httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.3 is already installed All my httpd stuff seem to be installed under /etc/httpd and I don't know if this is of any help but I started my http server by issuing 'startapache' and that is mapped to the following ........................... [root@localhost etc]# which startapache alias startapache='/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start' /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd ....................... Please help with you advice, thank you. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
