Upgrade apache from 2.2.3 to latest not working

[rejoan]

Hi Im new to this forum and centos. I have sucessfully installed centos 6.8. After installing apache its showing 2.2 version which is too old. Now I want to upgrade it to latest (2.4.25). I have tried as following

Code: Select all

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jkaluza/httpd24/epel-httpd24.repo
yum install httpd24.x86_64

and then tested version like

Code: Select all

httpd -v

nothing happened and its showing
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)

So, did it show that it installed after you ran that command? If not, were there any interesting things printed to the screen?

What does rpm -q httpd show?

Do you really need v 2.4 ?

See Software Collection which provides a maintained httpd 2.4 version (installation beside system version):

If your apache was showing 2.2.3 then you're not running CentOS 6, you're running CentOS 5 and all bets are off. It goes EOL in 3 weeks and there will be no more support for it. CentOS 6 ships apache httd 2.2.15 not 2.2.3.
