[Herefordshire] Apache Versions

[Gary Watts]

Hi Mark

2.0.49 was installed on te system as part of the Fedora Core 2 distro, but I couldn't upgrade it to 2.0.52 (or rather I didn't know how to).  I ran rpm -e httpd-2.0.49 to get rid of it but then I didn't have a web server at all.  I think I got round the problem in the end by using Webmin (as suggested by Julian), so then at least I could point the system to /usr/local/apache2, which is where 2.0.52 is installed.

I reinstalled 2.0.49 from the distro, just to get a web server running again, so now when I type httpd -v I get 2.0.49, even though Webmin says I'm on 2.0.52.

So, how do I get rid of 2.0.49 in favour of 2.0.52?

Gary

Good evening all

I've just spent some considerable time installing Apache 2.0.52 by following
the instructions on www.developerside.net.  It all seemed to go through OK,
but when I type httpd -v I'm told it's still running 2.0.49!  I've set my
doc_root to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs, but of course 2.0.49 still treats
/var/www/html as the doc_root, so if I create a test file in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs and point my browser to localhost it doesn't find
it.

Any ideas?

Daft question, but you don't have Apache 2.0.49 installed on your machine already do you?  Type:

  # whereis httpd

  and that should tell you where all the httpd executables are.  You should be able to locate the older version.  Alternatively you could use you package manager to search for installed versions of apache.

  # rpm -qa | grep -E 'httpd|apache'

  Thanks
  Mark
