If you do upgrade glibc and urpmi first. (You can even skip glibc from my experience but I understand the value here.) Then edit /etc/urpmi/skiplist.

It will upgrade apache, since 9.1 does have a slightly newer version of 1.3 but it won't move you to apache2.

Re: [expert] Upgrading 9.0 to 9.1 with urpmi
MDK9.1 indeed uses Apache2, in /etc/http/2.0 I needed apache_1.3.22, so I installed it to /opt/apache and disabled the auto-startup for Apache2 Maybe you can copy your apache to a safer location, and change the ServerRoot ? As far as I've noticed, apache2 worked very well, but I didn't test it that much.

I don't know about apache, but this kind of upgrade generally works, I have done it to few machines, some of them remotely. Typically I do first urpmi glibc and urpmi itself with their dependencies first, and after that auto-select. Kernel can be done either before or after.

However, I've been working with Apache 2 since version 2.0.44 and php since version 4.3.0 without any problem. I started with 2.0.44 and 4.3.0 installing from tar under Mandrake 9. I am now using 2.0.45 (with last security fixes) and php installed from Mandrake 9.1 cd's.

[expert] Upgrading 9.0 to 9.1 with urpmi
I usually do a lot of answering, but now I have a question to ask. I have a file server that I am thinking of using urpmi to update. It does not have X installed and runs samba, apache, mysql and acts as a print server, controlling the print qeues for a directly attached printer and another on a jetdirect. I also have been using it as a proxy for my kids computer so I can control where they go with squidguard. The reason I want to upgrade is to get a newer version of php than the 4.2.3 included with 9.0 (I think we are up to 4.3.2 now). The reason I want to use urpmi is that this machine runs headless and without a keyboard and I don't want to pull it out of it's corner so that I can attach a monitor and keyboard in order to use the installer. I am concerned because I think 9.1 uses apache2 by default, and I am not that well versed in it and don't want to break anything. Has anybody tried it? This is what I was thinking of doing: upgrade to the 9.1 kernel, then upgrade urpmi to the version in 9.1, then do urpmi --auto-select. -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
