Apache works fine on all my Centos 3.3 and 3.4 servers. I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with a 3rd party apache mod. The programmer who wrote the mod asked that I install the latest version of apache from apache.org. This since he believes the Redhat-Centos versions are way out of date. This even though I explained to him that 2.0.46-?? is 2.0.52 from apache with the security fixes but without the new features. I also verified I have the latest yum apache update that does contain all the security fixes. I update his package on my server daily but it was only recently the apache mod stopped working. If I install his mod from a month ago it still works fine but he insists he has not made any changes to the mod portion of the code in recent weeks. I know once I get 2.0.53 working I expect to have the same problems with the mod. It is just proving it to the programmer so I can get to the next level of troubleshooting. Then I can go back to just using RH apache with yum updates. --- Ajay Sharma <ssharma at revsharecorp.com> wrote: > > ...and that's why you don't build centos4's apache > for centos3. :) > > try doing a 'yum install XXX' for each of those > packages.
