Hello,
A while ago I built apache 1.3.6 with mod_ssl-2.3.1-1.3.6 and mod_perl-1.19
on my sun solaris 2.7 PRODUCTION box.
Everything has worked GREAT!
QUESTION:
I want to upgrade to apache1.3.9 and mod_ssl-2.4.8-1.3.9 and mod_perl-1.21,
BUT I am not certain on the safe strategy for upgrading my PRODUCTION
system. Given the steps BELOW for building and installing (from the INSTALL
file), at what point will I disturb libaries/executables that the production
system is using?
Installing mod_ssl into the apache tree in STEP 1 below looks pretty safe.
But when I try installing mod_perl in STEP 2 (make install) it wants to
write to /usr/local/lib/..... which concerns me, what if it overwrites a
mod_perl file that the current system is using (with an incompatible
version)?
I assume in STEP 3 that I can simply direct apache to install to a new
apache home directory.... then test it out, --if it works then install it to
the current apache directory (it will leave my configs and app's alone,
won't it)? OR do I need to create a new instance, and copy over my current
apache web application to it?
Please help,
Thank You
Keith

I am following the directions in the INSTALL file:
STEP1
--------
# apply mod_ssl to Apache source tree
$ cd mod_ssl-2.4.x-1.3.x
$ ./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.x
$ cd ..
STEP 2
---------
# apply mod_perl to Apache source tree
# and build/install the Perl-side of mod_perl
$ cd mod_perl-1.xx
$ perl Makefile.PL \
EVERYTHING=1 \
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.x/src \
USE_APACI=1 \
PREP_HTTPD=1 \
DO_HTTPD=1
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ..
STEP 3
---------
# build/install Apache with mod_ssl and mod_perl
$ cd apache_1.3.x
$ SSL_BASE=/path/to/openssl
./configure \
--prefix=/path/to/apache \
--enable-module=ssl \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--enable-module=perl
$ make
$ make certificate
$ make install
$ cd ..
