Re-Need advice on Upgrade Apache apache-dev_1.3.9-13.2.deb
Hi mike,
Thank you for your help on the previous email.
I would like to upgrade apache using debian package.
1)I think I make a mistake on the path setting for sources.list:
should be :
deb file:/var/ftp/debian potato main
instead of :
deb file:/var/ftp/debian potato main apache-dev_1.3.9-13.2.deb
I think the path setting so set anydirectory befoe binary-i386, please
correct me if I am wrong.
2) I think I shouldn't download the whole package from /potato, since my
interest is on upgrading apache. So, I download only the
apache-dev_1.3.9-13.2 and run dpkg --install :
/home/lchan/temp/testinstall>dpkg --install apache-dev_1.3.9-13.2.deb
msg displayed :
(Reading database ... 25731 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace apache-dev 1.3.9-13.2 (using apache-dev_1.3.9-13.2.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement apache-dev ...
Setting up apache-dev (1.3.9-13.2) ...
Can anyone tell me is these mean the upgrading done ? When I run dpkg -l |
pager, I can view :
ii apache 1.3.9-13.2 Versatile, high-performance HTTP server
ii apache-common 1.3.9-13.2 Support files for all Apache webservers
ii apache-dev 1.3.9-13.2 Apache webserver development kit
and I able to find apxs command.
3) The old version is installed in /etc/apache. When I view the version :
/usr/sbin>apache -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU
Server built: Jan 26 2001 00:10:13
Does it means the version is not upgrading to apache-dev ??
Anyhelp is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Kennice

questions:
1) I suspect I make a mistake on the path setting. I have tried to amend
the directory path with few combination. Unfortunately it not work. Can
anyone help me on this ?
2) Can I upgrade apache from apache orginasation www.apache.org instead of
.deb file ??
3) May I know what is the command to check the version of debian that I am
using ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you really need to upgrade to a source package instead of
waiting for the deb package and assuming you installed the compiled
binaries in /usr/local instead of /usr you should be able to use the
same config files, assuming that they take the same options between
versions. Make sure that the package doesn't install defaults in /etc
as well. Make backups before you make install it. The short answer:
*shrugs shoulders* Try it and see. As long as it's in /usr/local it
shouldn't pollute the rest of your system.

Hi,
I am using Debian Apache Web server package. The Apache is 1.3.9. I would
like to upgrade the Apache server. Can I download from the apache web site
? How would this effect my existing work (ie. the configuration file -
access.conf... and the html file and servlet script)?
Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Kennice
