Upgrading Your Virtual Server Apache
Follow the directions below to upgrade to version 1.3.12 of our Apache Web Server.
If you ordered your Virtual Server before March 27, 2000, and haven't yet upgraded
your Apache, your Virtual Server HTTP service is being provided by Apache 1.2.6.
|
NOTE:
Apache 1.3 is only available for Virtual Servers running the FreeBSD O/S.
If your Virtual Server was ordered after Nov 22, 1999, you are likely
running FreeBSD. To find out which O/S your Virtual Server is running, use the
uname command:
% uname
If your Virtual Server is not already running FreeBSD,
Upgrade to a New FreeBSD Virtual Server
today!

Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH
and do the following.
- Run the upgrade script that matches your Virtual Server O/S.
FreeBSD
% /usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/updatemyapache
BSD/OS
not available
The script will produce the following output:
Apache 1.3 Update
This program updates your apache web server and modules to version
1.3. It will modify your ~/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
file by adding "#version: 1.3" to the very first line. It will
also make a new modules directory (~/usr/local/etc/httpd/modules).
Your old module directory will be saved to another directory name in
~/usr/local/etc/httpd.

Done: Apache updated from 1.2.6 to 1.3.12
- In Apache 1.2.6, mod_frontpage and mod_rewrite are statically linked modules. In Apache 1.3, both of
these modules are dynamically linked modules. If you are currently using either
Microsoft FrontPage or mod_rewrite, you will need to
explicitly load each module in the web server configuration file once you have upgraded to Apache 1.3. To do this add one or both
of the following lines to your ~/www/conf/httpd.conf file.
LoadModule frontpage_module modules/mod_frontpage.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
