    This should probably be posted in Bugzilla, but I wanted to make sure that this was an issue that affected CPanel first. Looks like there is a new bug in Apache, specifically in mod_rewrite:

    http://secunia.com/advisories/21197

    The recommended solution is to upgrade to Apache 1.3.37. It would appear that easyapache is at 1.3.36. I wasn't sure if this affected CPanel's Apache (I would think that it does) or exactly how serious this is.

    Just a note, I ran easyapache this morning on a test server and it appears that 1.3.37 is being compiled now. Someone else may want to verify this and make sure 1.3.37 is installing. I'm not aware of any official word from CPanel, so I might proceed with caution regarding the upgrade, but I did want to let everyone know that it appears 1.3.37 is available now.

    As fas as I know the Apache version is indepdent of your CPanel build. So it doesn't matter what CPanel tree you are using, easyapache will install the same version of Apache for each build. I may be wrong in that regard. At any rate, I'm using Release and 1.3.37 is in it.

    I'm on the stable release tree and it will only compile 1.3.36. Any way to get 1.3.37 into the stable release tree?

    Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. I'm using the stable version, NOT release.

    Hey all,

    Does is cause any problems if you were to just manually configure any software like apache or php together manually rather then using cPanel? Will cPanel have any issues?

    Thanks,
    Russ

    I don't know about Apache, but I always compile PHP separately. This is mainly because I want to do more customization to my PHP installs.

    One quick tidbit, if you run easyapache, you can unselect PHP so that it is not checked, then easyapache won't compile PHP. Your PHP will continue to work and easyapache will only compile Apache. This can greatly improve the amount of time spent upgrading Apache. One word of caution, if you are using phpSuExec, you must check that box in easyapache. You don't have to select PHP, but you do have to check the phpSuExec option. This is because the phpSuExec wrapper depends on some patches applied to Apache's source code, and selecting this option tells easyapache to apply those patches.

    Hope this helps.
