upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Hello, I am running Scientific Linux 6.0, which comes with Apache 2.2.15. I need to upgrade it to 2.2.21. I tried the following: - yum remove httpd* - take the httpd-2.2.21.tar.gz, build it and install httpd,suexec,apxs - then config yum to exclude httpd* - run yum updates I get errors because it requires httpd-mmn (it is the magic number, I understand). Is it possible to get the httdp-mmn in synch? I can't see this in the apache package. Any help is appreciated, Dirce __ -- Processing Dependency: /etc/httpd/conf.d for package: 1:perl-HTML-Mason-1.42 -2.el6.noarch -- Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:perl-HTML-Mason-1.42-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: /etc/httpd/conf.d Error: Package: 1:mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-11.el6_0.1.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: mod_perl-2.0.4-10.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: squirrelmail-1.4.22-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: httpd Error: Package: mod_perl-devel-2.0.4-10.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd-devel Error: Package: php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd-mmn = 20051115 Error: Package: nocpulse-common-2.0.14-3.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: httpd Error: Package: php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 (sl-security) Requires: httpd Error: Package: mod_nss-1.0.8-8.el6.x86_64 (sl) Requires: httpd
Re: upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Heho, I am running Scientific Linux 6.0, which comes with Apache 2.2.15. I need to upgrade it to 2.2.21. Please keep in mind that a manual installation will result in you having to keep track of security updates. I tried the following: - yum remove httpd* - take the httpd-2.2.21.tar.gz, build it and install httpd,suexec,apxs - then config yum to exclude httpd* - run yum updates I get errors because it requires httpd-mmn (it is the magic number, I understand). Is it possible to get the httdp-mmn in synch? I can't see this in the apache package. I would personally recommend creating a local package of apache 2.2.21 and then using yum localinstall. I will take a look at that anyway. With best regards, Tobias

Re: upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Tobias, I think we both replied at about the same time. I will try the package that you indicated.

This is where TUV's practices can get one confused. They have a habit (for good reason) of sticking with a version number on release and backporting patches (including security) as needed. Sometimes it is worth reading the changelog/revision history for a specific package to save yourself some time in the long run. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] upgrading apache to 2.2.21
Pat, I could verify that all the security fixes are included in the 2.2.15 update. But we have a customer requirement to use Apache 2.2.21.

SL6.1 installer requires internet connection?
Hi, SL users - I have constructed an SL6 installer USB disk and it works but after asking all the questions, right before starting to install packages, it stops and requests that there be an active network connection. The installation does not seem to proceed until the machine acquires an internet connection. Why is this? I am making an SL6 installer for use on machines located where internet access is physically impossible, so is there a solution or workaround? P.S. Let's have a flame war. Why is there no instructions for making USB installer disks? Why is SL distributed as DVD images when none of my computers have no DVD drives? I guess I should be glad that it is not distributed on punch cards or paper tape. -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!

problem downloading SL 5.7 disc 1
Hi all, as SL6 does not have the usr/X11R6 directory and template files for imake, I want to try with SL 5.7. I've download successfully disc 2 on ftp://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/iso/i386/dvd/ but disc1 file systematically at 83.6Mb. Is there a pb with the server? Can I download this file from another place? thanks
