Hi,

Should I change my glasses?

I can only see Apache 2.4.59-240404 Win32!

Where is Apache 2.4.59-240404 Win64?

Thanks for your help.

The download link is correct. Steffen only forgot to change the title.

[Steffen]

Thanks.

Changed to the correct title.

It seems the file and product version of httpd.exe (and the few other binaries I have checked) is still 2.4.58 in the 32 bit zip file (https://www.apachelounge.com/download/vs17/binaries/httpd-2.4.59-240404-win32-vs17.zip). However, the readme tells it's 2.4.59.

The 64 bit version has correct version numbers.

Is just the file version information wrong or has it been built with wrong sources?

Thanks!

[Steffen]

Strange.

When I do >httpd -V then it shows 2.4.59

When starting in the log it shows 2.4.59

Looks it is the file version.

Go to figure out.

[Steffen]

version info was not updated. Rebuild it.

Should ok now.

[chris5]

Looks good now. Thank you very much!
