I'm on a Windows Server 2008 r2 machine that functions as an internal web server using Apache, PHP and MySQL.
Through some searching, I came across a post that claimed to be successful in "upgrading" Apache from a no_ssl version to the open_ssl version. However, when I attempted the install, it failed, saying another version of the product was already install and that I would have to uninstall it.
I do not wish to uninstall Apache as I do not want to lose any of the configuration settings that I currently have in place.
Is there anyway to "upgrade" my Apache and enable SSL? |

Let me guess, it said that when you typed
httpd -k install
Is this correct? |

Downloaded httpd-2.2.22-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8t.msi from apache.org... clicked Run.
Error:
Windows Installer
Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel. |

Oh, ok
your best bet would be to just unpack the .msi and move the files manually. That the .msi will not let you upgrade without uninstalling I have never understood, but I have not used a Apache .msi for over 10 years.
However, you are able to uninstall, the .msi from Apache.org will not remove your conf or htdocs folders nor will an install overwrite any existing files in these folders. So uninstall old and the install the new version. It would be best to backup those two folders before doing it just in case!! |
