Im running Centos 7.4.1708 and Apache 2.4.6.
I would like to upgrade to a later version of Apache. What would be the best way to do that? I would like to keep my config files
Upgrade Apache 2.4.6 to later version
Re: Upgrade Apache 2.4.6 to later version
The httpd24 software collection currently contains 2.4.34. It does not upgrade the system httpd, it will install in parallel.
Re: Upgrade Apache 2.4.6 to later version
You do know that the CentOS httpd 2.4.6 is not exactly 2.4.6 and contains features backported from newer versions? Perhaps whatever you're looking for is already present - you can check by using rpm -q --changelog httpd to see if that mentions anything.
In addition, you can find newer httpd versions available in both IUS and SCL repos.
For a non-biased write-up of various methods to get newer packages on CentOS please see https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/15

Code: Select all
httpd24-httpd.x86_64 2.4.34-7.el7 centos-sclo-rh
httpd24u.x86_64 2.4.35-1.ius.centos7 ius
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

This is what my server says:
cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
Server built: Oct 19 2017 20:39:16
rpm -q --changelog httpd
* Thu Oct 19 2017 CentOS Sources <bugs@centos.org> - 2.4.6-67.el7.centos.6
- Remove index.html, add centos-noindex.tar.gz
- change vstring
- change symlink for poweredby.png
- update welcome.conf with proper aliases
and then returns a lot of other posts to, but this is the latest one.

Re: Upgrade Apache 2.4.6 to later version
7.6 is current, 7.4 is 18 months out of date.CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
Likewise current is httpd-2.4.6-88.el7.centos.x86_64
It's the other entries in the changelog after the first one (which is always the same one for CentOS, documenting what changes were made to debrand it from the RHEL version).
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
