Upgrade Apache httpd-2.4.6

Submitted by alejandrotd on Sun, 09/21/2014 - 15:43

Hello.

I want to update to version 2.4.6 apache. Can not find something easy to compile and keep it consistent with Virtualmin.

I see that in the repo of centos 7 is the version of httpd 2.4.6, will you have the version supported for centos6?

or can you give me the support httpd.spec? to create my rpm for centos 6.

Thanks.

Howdy -- the software versions you're seeing are the ones available to your distro. In the case of Apache on CentOS, we just take the CentOS-provided Apache RPM's, change the suexec path to use /home, and recompile them.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely the Apache RPM for CentOS 7 would work on CentOS 6, as the dependencies listed in it wouldn't be available on CentOS 6, and CentOS 7 uses a different init system (systemd), which would use different startup scripts.

If you need a newer Apache version, my suggestion would be to migrate to a newer distro which runs that particular Apache version. CentOS 7 support is in beta now, and many people are using it in production. However, we should be releasing official support for that soon.
