Upgrading Your Virtual Private Servers Apache

If you ordered your Virtual Private Servers before March 27, 2000, and haven't yet upgraded your Apache Web Server, your Virtual Private Servers HTTP service is being provided by Apache 1.2.6. See the instructions below that correspond to your Virtual Private Servers O/S.

  • FreeBSD Apache 1.3
    Connect to your Virtual Private Servers via Telnet or SSH and do the following.

    1. Run the Apache upgrade script that matches your Virtual Private Servers O/S.

      % /usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/updatemyapache
      The script will give the following output: 
      Apache 1.3 Update

This program updates your apache web server and
      modules to version  1.3.  It will modify your
      ~/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf   file by
      removing "#version: 1.2.6" from the very first line.  
      It will  also make a new modules directory 
      (~/usr/local/etc/httpd/modules).  Your old module
      directory will be saved to another directory name
      in ~/usr/local/etc/httpd.

 Do you want to continue? [No]: Yes

 Done: Apache updated from 1.2.6 to 1.3.22
    2. In Apache 1.2.6, mod_frontpage and mod_rewrite are statically linked modules. In Apache 1.3, both of these modules are dynamically linked Modules. If you are currently using either Microsoft FrontPage or mod_rewrite, you will need to explicitly load each module in the web server configuration file once you have upgraded to Apache 1.3. To do this add one or both of the following lines to your web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf):

      LoadModule frontpage_module modules/mod_frontpage.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

  • Solaris Apache 1.3
    Your Virtual Private Servers is already running the latest version of Apache. There is no need to upgrade.

  • BSD/OS Upgrade!
    The latest version of Apache is unavailable.
