Hey folks!

We had our internal security audit done and I need to upgrade the apache version on one of our servers.
The specs are:

Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)
Kernel 2.2.12-20 on an i686
Our version is 1.3.19 and I want to upgrade to 1.1.29

I do not know enough to provide more info at this time. I have been zipping around the interent and there is not much information on this.

My plan was to do something like this:

cd /tmp
wget tar zxvf apache_1.3.28.tar.gz
cd apache_1.3.28
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/htdocs --htdocsdir=/tmp/rm/d --manualdir=/tmp/rm/m --cgidir=/tmp/rm/c
make
make install
rm -rf /tmp/rm
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

Replacing /usr/local/apache with the location where Apache 1.3.19 was installed.

Does this look okay? I have never done this and do not want to mess it up too bad as it is new and I would have no idea how to fix...We use the server to monitor bandwidth on our network.

Thanks!
