Has anyone sucessfully built apache 2.2 on the current edge build?

I have managed but with only Bare Bones configuration and a very low version of PHP.

 

I have been running apache 2.2 on 3 servers for couple of months without problems. I build it without php support and then compile my own php. Also in easyapache you have to tell it to leave the build even if there are errors from postcheck. Otherwise it will try to revert to old apache. Usually there are some entries in httpd.conf like mod_security that confuse easyapache and it thinks that upgrade was unsuccessful. All you have to do is run: service httpd configtest and fix manually the problems that apache reports.

 

but does this mean that you need to manually update any other software related to Apache / PHP? I suppose if you use the easyapache scripts, it would break your setup?

 

No, I just build apache with easyapache. And I build php myself because I run it with mod_fcgid. easyapache sets up cpanel to use the new httpd.conf format and everything works like it should. I would suggest that it is best to install new apache on a new server so you can start with small number of accounts.

 

Apache2 and apache 2.0 through easyapache fails to build php even on minimal builds. It's crap

 

Try using a default httpd.conf to see how that goes.

 

We tried it on a brand spanking new machine Carl
