Version 5.4
Hi, I have a customer running BSD that has been informed that he needs to upgrade his Apache product. I have a wealth of experience with SCO products but very little with BSD. The Apache that they are operating now is version 2.0.55? I don't have the knowledge to look into installed products or where I would gather the Apache upgrade and the installation instructions. If you can point me to any info regarding this upgrade I sure would appreciate it! Thanks you!

If you can point me to any info regarding this upgrade I sure would appreciate it! The FreeBSD product has excellent documentation. The best place to start is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Regarding your current task, the section on ports is probably the most helpful. It looks like you will have to upgrade the Apache port that is currently installed. Is there a specific version of the Apache web server that is needed? FreeBSD supports many different versions of the Apache webserver - yet the ports system makes installing, and updating, these applications very easy.

Officially, 5.4 isn't supported by the FreeBSD project anymore. See http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html#freeze Having said that, if you ask a question on this mailing list you will probably get an answer. But if your problem is solved in a later (and supported) version, the advice will probably be to upgrade. There will probably be little interest from the maintainers in applying fixes to the RELENG_5_4 branch.

The latest and last release on the RELENG_5 branch is 5.5, 5.4 is not supported as I understand. In any case it is a good idea to plan migration to 6.x or 7.0. 6.x will become legacy release branch once 7.0 is released. Regarding 5.5: This is the last planned release on the 5-STABLE branch. The FreeBSD development community is currently focusing its efforts on the 6-STABLE and CURRENT codelines. No new major features are planned for the 5-STABLE branch, although minor updates and bugfixes may be merged at the discretion of individual developers. The FreeBSD security team will support the FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE-based security branch with advisories and security patches until the end-of-life date documented at http://security.freebsd.org/ (as of this writing, May 31, 2008).
