You should make a backup of /etc/apache2 and delete it prior to updating, otherwise the new config layout will give you a hard time finding out, which file belongs to the new installation and which does not. Then you need to redo your complete configuration. That'll be the hardest taks of all. Most complicated part is to merge your settings from apache.conf and commonapache.conf into httpd.conf, you should not simply concat both and replace httpd.conf with it. As for modules (like SSL) there has not much changed, AFAIK it's just the installationpath of the .so-file. I recommend using diff on the modules' config-files, just to be sure. I'm running apache-2.0.52-r3 just fine for weeks now and I wonder why it isn't stable yet... ;-) HTH, regards Felix -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
