hello dain, just to make sure: you did ofcourse stop the old httpd before doing this upgrade? i know that a running version cannot be patched on the fly, you need at least to restart it for it to discover new version and other metadata, and propably reload the libs.
but i would suggest, since you did a standalone installation from the apache.org, and not the up2date/yum rhel packages precompiled repos, please uninstall that one first, and then traverse again with the new version that rhel doesnt actually know about just yet. This is because; they might patch you from the repos, and i dont think we can expect the package managers to take this in mind. what will happen to a 2.2.22 that is suddenly minor patched as being 2.2.3-->2.2.17 for instance, maybe some modules survive but the grand picture looks spoiled. thats my ½ cent. br congo On Fri, February 10, 2012 23:19, HARRIS, DAIN wrote: > Greetings comrades!
