Upgrade to Apache 2.x.xx

[AndyReed]

As of today, August 26th, 2006, you can upgrade Apache to v2.0.59, or v2.2.3. This upgrade, so far, is available for Current and Edge versions of the cPanel/WHM.

I don't see that option in the latest current...

I also don't see it in the Current.

It's edge only, and it's been available since the 22nd

and hopefully will be less buggy when it gets implemented to the rest of the releases

Anyone tried apache2 with cpanel on VPS?

 

[lucaslim]

Will be doing that upgrade to apache 2.2 soon.. Hopefully they release a newer build.. Heard many complained about the first build..

Anyone tried apache2 with cpanel on VPS?

I tried it on a newly installed VPS had everything working. I ran into some problems with trying to get both PHP4/PHP5 working...but this was my first stab at it and more than likely ignorance on my part. My first impression is new users/site are going to to be just fine running Cpanel's Apache 2, but maybe a few headaches for existing sites.

But alas, it's time for me to do some real work and return to the Current package...

I'm running CPanel beta with Apache2 from two weeks or so - I have some problems (like duplicate entries of logs in httpd.conf and problems with cpu usage option with CPanel) but everything else is quite fine..

Where the heck is it? I upgraded Current and didn't see any option for apache 2. So a took a big risk and upgraded to Edge (on a production server) -- cuz I really *need* apache 2. But apache 2 is still a no show under apache update. What's the story? How do I get apache 2?

Upgrade to edge and run easyapache

 

[iwdev]

Sorry for a probably stupid/simple question...

I've just done this and all is largely working fine, but no mod_proxy or mod_proxy_balancer options in easyapache.

How would I recompile with the '--enable-proxy --enable-proxy-html --enable-proxy-balancer' options added?

Cpanel 11.0-E488 upgrading to Apache 2

I ran the install script, selecting the default 2.0.59 and option (2).
It finished with:
"Error: postcheck() returned a failed status"
and it reverted to 1.3.36.
Nothing in logs/error.log!
Any ideas?

Has this moved to Current yet, or is it still in edge? AndyReed was wrong when he posted.

 

[lucaslim]

Nope.. This is still under Edge

Refer to http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2299 for the latest info concerning the deployment of Apache 2 for cPanel.

Yes, I made a mistake and I am sorry for not updating my earlier post in this thread. Apache 2.x comes with the Edge version only, so far. Thank you!

Same here, anyone know how to fix this?

It means something failed during your Apache 2 upgrade and it reverted
back to your original installation.

It could mean a million things ....

I would use the option in EasyApache to leave the failed install in place
so that the problems can be resolved manually.

After that, I'd run /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl configtest and check
the error_log file in /etc/httpd/logs to try to find out what failed.

In most cases, it's usually something simply like an old 1.3.x module
you forgot to disable before upgrading or a failed PHP compile, etc.
