Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Pat, I could verify that all the security fixes are included in the 2.2.15 update. But we have a customer requirement to use Apache 2.2.21.

Re: upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Tobias, I think we both replied at about the same time. I will try the package that you indicated.

upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Hello, I am running Scientific Linux 6.0, which comes with Apache 2.2.15. I need to upgrade it to 2.2.21. I tried the following: - yum remove httpd* - take the httpd-2.2.21.tar.gz, build it and install httpd,suexec,apxs - then config yum to exclude httpd* - run yum updates I get errors because it requires httpd-mmn (it is the magic number, I understand). Is it possible to get the httdp-mmn in synch? I can't see this in the apache package. Any help is appreciated, Dirce __ --> Processing Dependency: /etc/httpd/conf.d for package: 1:perl-HTML-Mason-1.42 -2.el6.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:perl-HTML-Mason-1.42-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: /etc/httpd/conf.d Error: Package: 1:mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-11.el6_0.1.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: mod_perl-2.0.4-10.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: squirrelmail-1.4.22-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: httpd Error: Package: mod_perl-devel-2.0.4-10.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd-devel Error: Package: php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: nocpulse-common-2.0.14-3.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: httpd Error: Package: php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd Error: Package: mod_nss-1.0.8-8.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd
