[Herefordshire] Apache Versions

[Gary Watts]

Hi Mark

I put /usr/local/apache2/bin at the front of the path in /etc/.bash_profile
and now when I type httpd -v I get the right version.  httpd service seems
to have started OK, presumably with the right version now (although I don't
know how I can tell just by looking at the default page at http://localhost)

Still not doing the right thing with ASP pages, but hopefully I'm getting a
bit nearer now.

Gary

If you /usr/local/apache2/bin/apache -v it will get 2.0.52.  It's either
because /usr/local/apache2/bin isn't in your path or it appears after
/usr/bin in the path variable so 2.0.49 gets picked up first.

See:

Someone has asked almost the same question here.

Thanks
