recompile php/upgrade apache

[Redmond Militante]

hi all

i have a production server running
freebsd4.8-RELEASE/apache1.3.27-modssl/mod_php4

i would like to recompile php4 for gdlib support.  i'd also like to
upgrade apache to 1.3.28.  i'd like to have minimal downtime if
possible.

i was thinking the easiest way of doing this was to

stop apache
backup httpd.conf and php.ini-dist
portupgrade -rR apache13-modssl
make deinstall /usr/ports/lang/php4, make install clean
/usr/ports/lang/php4 with gdlib support
restart apache

i just wanted to run this past the list in case i'm missing something
above, or if anyone can suggest a more efficient way of accomplishing
this

thanks
redmond

I believe you can get away with not stopping the server at all.  Since
apache is running in memory, you can easily upgrade it (and php) whilst
it's still running and when you've finished upgrading just issue an
'apachectl restart' and the new binaries will be in effect.
