 Posted: Fri 09 Jan '15 16:55 Post subject: Apache Upgrade |
 |
|
I have Apache 2.2 currently installed on my W2K8 R2 Standard server. I need to update to 2.2.29 or later. I recently installed 2.4 following the directions in the readme.txt in the downloaded.zip file. I feel as though I have successfully completed the upgrade but I can't determine it. I do not see any indication of it being installed searching in Control Panel. Also, before updating to 2.4.10 I successfully installed Visual C ++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.
Reason for updating: After running NESSUS scans on my server I had a few vulnerabilities that needed to be fixed. The solution called for Apache to be updated to 2.2.29 or later.
Please keep any reply's simple because I'm not a programmer nor developer and this is very new to me.
Thanks

| Did you uninstall the 2.2 installation before installing 2.4? |

| Are you sure the right apache is running and not the old one? Did you install the new apache as service? |

| I did not run Apache as a service. I did this time. ..I ran Apache24 from c:\apache24\bin, httpd.exe -k install. I then went into Services, Stopped and Disabled 2.2. Then I started 2.4. What I've noticed in these changes: Before when I opened Adobe from my client an Adobe webpage opened. I had video and audio. Now when I open Adobe from my client I receive a white page saying at the top, "It Works"! That's all it is. So I get something that says it works but no video & audio. How do I get a normal webpage to pop up now that I have 2.4 running? |

| Apache 2.4 is running! Now only change the document root to the old one or move the content to the new document root. |

| Can you be more specific? I am comparing the content in Apache2.2 with Apache 2.4... Are you saying, I should copy all the folders and files that are in the Apache2.2 folder into the Apache2.4 folder? And overwrite any duplicate folders and files. |

No, you will end up with 2 Apache 2.2s.
In your Apache 2.2's httpd.conf file, what is the DocumentRoot set to?
Now, you can either change the DocumentRoot in Apache 2.4's httpd.conf file to the 2.2's DocumentRoot above
Or you can copy all the files and folders in Apache 2.2's DocumentRoot into where Apache 2.4's DocumentRoot is set to. |
