I am in the middle of downloading the mandrake 9.2 iso's from a local server in Australia (no bandwidth charges if I get it from local mirror).. I didn't even know it was available for public download yet..
there is no reference to them being the RC's, and the "last modified" date is today..
The details are:
MandrakeLinux-9.2_disk1of3.i586.iso 03-Nov-2003 08:25 652M
MandrakeLinux-9.2_disk2of3.i586.iso 03-Nov-2003 04:44 698M
MandrakeLinux-9.2_disk3of3.i586.iso 04-Nov-2003 16:36 548M
Anyway, assuming they are the "real thing" my next step will be to make a CD of all the updates up till now..
Then I will start trying to replace my 9.0 servers, (I need several newer packages then 9.0 came with and don't think compiling them from scatch is the best answer.).
So, onto my question..
I currently use apache 1.3x on 9.0 and I am considering the change to 9.2 and apache 2.x
I have many virtual name hosts, digital cert and stuff running on the current server, and I am concerned about how hard it its going to be to upgrade.. does apache 2 use the same Vhosts settings??
I heard something to the effect that http and http-perl are no longer seperate processes, is this true?
what about integration with openSSL and the use of certs? has that changed much?
Has anyone done this and is able to advise me of troubles I might face? I ask because several clients use this one server and its been rock solid on 9.0.... hoping to not break that reliability..
Is there anything else I should be wary off or look into before/during/after I upgrade?
(I will be upgrading a DNS bind server, a postfix/amavis-new/trophie mail server, irc server, mysql server etc...)
One of these days I will get around to learning the ins and outs of Djbdns, but for now I'm stuck with Bind.
kindest regards
Franki
