Upgrading Your Virtual Server Apache


Follow the directions below to upgrade to version 1.3.37 of our Apache Web Server. If you ordered your Virtual Server before March 27, 2000, and haven't yet upgraded your Apache, your Virtual Server HTTP service is being provided by Apache 1.3.12.
% uname
Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH and do the following.
  1. Run the upgrade script that matches your Virtual Server O/S.
    FreeBSD
    % /usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/updatemyapache
    The script will produce the following output:
    Apache 1.3 Update

    This program updates your apache web server and modules to version 1.3. It will modify your ~/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file by adding "#version: 1.3" to the very first line. It will also make a new modules directory (~/usr/local/etc/httpd/modules). Your old module directory will be saved to another directory name in ~/usr/local/etc/httpd.
    Do you want to continue? [No]: Yes

    Checking httpd.conf file...
    Updating apache modules...
    Updating version number in httpd.conf...
    Done: Apache updated from 1.3.12 to 1.3.37

  2. In Apache 1.2.6, mod_frontpage and mod_rewrite are statically linked modules. In Apache v1.3.37, both of these modules are dynamically linked modules. If you are using either of these modules, you will need to load them into the httpd.conf file once you have upgraded to Apache v1.3.37 To do this add one or both of the following lines to your ~/www/conf/httpd.conf file.
    LoadModule frontpage_module modules/mod_frontpage.so
    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Solaris Apache 1.3



Your Virtual Private Server is already running the latest version of Apache. There is no need to upgrade.
