I am in need of getting my WebServer to Apache 2.2.24 but Mandriva 2010.2 seems to only go up to Apache 2.2.22 by way of the auto-update gui.
It has been forever since I have done an update via RPM or anything. Any advice out there as to how to get this done?
Or should I just load Mandriva 2011 (or a different Linux) from scratch and just copy data?
Thanks,
Tim
Update Mandriva 2010.2 to Apache 2.2.24

Re: Update Mandriva 2010.2 to Apache 2.2.24
My first thought is that webmaster Viking60 will have the background to make good comments about this. Until then....
In summation,
After previewing, I can see you asked for only 2.2.24 but I hope there is some help, here. Building from apache sources is still an option
- Mandriva was recently bought and, afaict, the consumer product has been migrating to forks, such as Mageia, Rosa, Openmandriva. Of these, Mageia is the most mature (well, oldest), Rosa is the best-funded and, probably, fastest-developing, and Openmandriva is still just a work-in-progress, imo.
- I look at Mandriva 2010.2 as something to set up for friends and family, for the stability, but it won't be developed, features or security, anymore.
- I see apache-2.4 in Rosa 20i2.1, aka Desktop Fresh, the latest Rosa personal product.
- Just released Mageia3 has a 2.4 version, also.
- You could build from source.
- Migrating the data is something to plan carefully, I should think, but I have no background in apache. Viking60 must have.
In summation,
- Don't use Mandriva 2011. It's widely unpopular, I had a terrible time with it, and I don't see many who are supporting it.
- Mageia is a very competent group and that distro might suit you.
- I'm making my way with Rosa 2012.1 and it's working pretty well. Some problems arise from using my old /home and it's settings, which I am solving one by one.
- Openmandriva is not yet released.
- Don't do an upgrade, if you switch distros, do a clean install.

Welcome tkmeadows
What is the output of
?
I need to know if you use 32bit or 64bit Mandriva....
And as rolf pointed out:
is there a particular reason for using apache 2.2.24 or can you use a newer version?
I think it is possible to upgrade your distro to mageia and they have a a good server.
to transfer your mysql databases you ca down and upload them with phpmyadmin and simply copy over the contents of your server.
remember there is a limitation in /etc/php.ini so you might just:
Find:
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8M
Change to:
post_max_size = 750M
upload_max_filesize = 750M
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000
memory_limit = 1000M
That should let you export and import any database you have.
What is the output of
Code: Select all
uname -a
?
