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
Re: upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Heho, I am running Scientific Linux 6.0, which comes with Apache 2.2.15. I need to upgrade it to 2.2.21. Please keep in mind that a manual installation will result in you having to keep track of security updates. 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. I would personally recommend creating a local package of apache 2.2.21 and then using yum localinstall. I will take a look at that anyway. With best regards, Tobias

See http://bmu.wsp.wybt.net/repos/loserpms/SOURCE/httpd-2.2.21-1.sl6.1.src.rpm Builds fine for me on x86_64, haven't tested other arch, but I assume everything should work out just fine. Currently building rpms for i386/x86_64, but i have to setup the unstable-repo-structure before. With best regards, Tobias

I will take a look at that anyway. I will try to create the package with rpm. With best regards, Tobias Regards, Dirce
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.

Are there any fixes present in 2.2.21 which are not present in httpd-2.2.15-9.sl6.3? Our beloved upstream vendor backports security fixes all the time. I would be surprised if there was a meaningful security issue that they haven't brought back. That is one of the things they pride themselves on. Pat -- Pat Riehecky Scientific Linux Developer

This is where TUV's practices can get one confused. They have a habit (for good reason) of sticking with a version number on release and backporting patches (including security) as needed. Sometimes it is worth reading the changelog/revision history for a specific package to save yourself some time in the long run. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

If you are upgrading concerning a security fix, I'd like to point out that Pat is more than right. Which CVE are you specifically looking into? Btw: http://bmu.wsp.wybt.net/repos/loserpms/x86_64/ http://bmu.wsp.wybt.net/repos/loserpms/i386/ Build the rpms now. With best regards, Tobias
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.
