Slackware :: Upgrading Apache - PHP And MySql From A Default Version
Apr 1, 2010
I want to upgrade Apache, PHP, and MySql from a default version I'm having in my installed Slackware. What is the proper step to do this? Will it cause some problem if I upgrade them?
I'm currently upgrading my clients' CentOS 5 installation to use httpd-2.2.14 as we need it for the server to past some of the Hardware checks used in the PCI [Payment Card Industry] security test. I was basically wondering if anyone had the standard CentOS 'configure options' for building httpd/Apache so I could copy them to ensure it is a straight replacement for my existing 2.2.3?
After a new install of Slackware 12.2, I carried out the following procedures to get everything working successfully right out of the box. The server is a standalone system, used for testing and educational purposes, so please bear that in mind. NB: Throughout this post when you see a single # at the start of a line it means you are typing the commands as root user. You should not include the #, only the text after it.
### setup Apache with php enabled Login as root user on your Slackware box and type: # pico -w /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
I was playing around the default mysql that comes with Slackware 13, and I think I broke it somehow. I don't want to fix it, I'd like to start from scratch, building from source and everything, but first I have to remove this broken installation. How can I do this?
Installed Zend Server CE on 10.04 - install mostly fine. But phpmyadmin shows this error; "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.83 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.41" I have followed the Zend online docs and used a DEB install. Why would these versions be different?how do I fix it so that the two are in sync?
I want to upgrade mediawiki software from version 1.6 to version 1.16 . The newer version is supposed to be installed on another server. I am trying to migrate the old mediawiki mysql database with no success.
My existing MySQL database is running on 11.1. I plan to do a fresh install of 11.3 in order to utilize the trimming feature for SSD drives. How should I install my MySQL database to the new version? Do I perform a backup then restore to the new install? Or can I just save the mysql db files to a cd and somehow attach it to the new install?
I'm running MySQL 5.0 on a production server and I require to upgrade mysql to version 5.5 to get a new collation support. What is the best procedure to follow? I cannot find MySQL 5.5 on the standard repositories. A yum install would be the safest, correct?
My Server is 8.04 (hardy) and Apache is 2.2.8. I have been receiving emails from Apache each time a new stable release is available, most of which say you should install them due to security issues. The current stable release of apache being offered is 2.2.17
Q1) Do you recommend I upgrade from Apache 2.2.8 to 2.2.17? Q2) Does this come automatically with my regular updates via Update Manager once the Ubuntu community thinks its stable enough (it appears that it doesn't)? Q3) What is the best way to install the update? Q4) Any concerns about installing it into a live environment? I don't have a development platform to try it in first.
I want to upgrade existing MySQL 5.0.77 version on CentOS 5 Red Hat Linux to MySQL 5.1.x. Is anybody have list of patches or upgrades to upgrade to MySQL 5.1.x?
I've upgraded Slackware-13.1 I had installed to Slackware-Current using a local tree I had download with mirror-slackware-current.sh script, but when I rebooted I could not get the graphics to load. I think it's because I've also modified /etc/groups and add an username after audio: and video: group, but I forgot that and had to remove slackware from the machine.
Thinking of installing openSuSE on my laptop and wondering how the upgrade process is. I know 12.1 is coming out in only a couple of months. I don't really want to spend all my time customizing 11.4 and then find out a straight upgrade is very buggy or even not possible and have to reinstall.
I am just a fresh starter at Ubuntu so I ask you for some comprehension and to answer my question about a problem I have. I had started upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04, everything went fine until a message appeared saying:
Failed to fetch [URL]...untu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]...untu3_i386.deb 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]...3.11-1_all.deb 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]...untu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]..._1.0.3_all.deb 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]..._1.0.3_all.deb 404 Not Found
Then I had to close the upgrading process because of that message I tried again but it came out with the same result.
While upgrading to 10.10, I opted to keep my apache conf files as they were (since I forgot to back them up before starting) and now apache isn't happy at all. At first it just wasn't working, so I backed up my entire /etc/apache2 dir, ran
Code: 'sudo apt-get purge apache2' and then deleted all references and left over config files, then ran
Code: 'sudo apt-get install apache2' and still apache wasn't working - in fact it did not seem to properly/completely reinstall with all dependencies.
Next I went through in Synaptic and removed a bunch of stuff myself, tried another apt-get purge and install, and still nada. Next I tried:
Code: 'sudo aptitude purge apache2' which seemed to run a little more robustly. So naturally next I ran
Code: 'sudo aptitude install apache2' and though it seemed to install everything appropriately, apache was not started and trying to run
Code: 'sudo service apache2 start' I get an unrecognised service error.
When trying to directly run
Code: 'sudo /usr/sbin/apache2' I get
Code: 'apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory'
Which is true, it does not exist but I don't understand why it's not reinstalling properly. Luckily this is just a local test server and I don't need to right now, but it would be good to get it back up and running. Could this really be all because I didn't replace my old files with the new conf files?
Currently i am using Ubuntu 9.04(Jaunty),i have downloaded iso image of Ubuntu 9.10 and i have burned it in a CD..So how to upgrade my ubuntu version to 9.10 without losing existing data.
The upgrade instructions say you can use the upgrade manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10. I am currently running 9.10. Will this still work? Or do I have to go to 10.4 first? Or can I download the 10.10 alternate install iso and upgrade directly with that for both my Ubuntu and UbuntuStudio installations?
I've not really need the computer for much for a while and have let the updates slip! I've got 9.04 and obviously need a newer version. I read that it's best to upgrade to 9.10 first then go from there, but my version is so old all the information is using update manager (just click this button blah blah) but of course this isn't supported now so can't use that method.
I don't really know any other way to upgrade other than following the links in update manager
ps forgot to say my cd coping sometimes messes up, don't know if it's software or hardware so was looking for methods to avoid downloading onto cds then upgrading from that! but will have to try this if no other way
I have a Dell Mini 10V running Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS. I need to upgrade to the latest version of Linux. Which of the latest versions I can upgrade to and exactly which download to use (a reference to the actual download and page it is on) to be able to upgrade. I have looked at the many different versions and types of downloads and have no idea which to choose to be able to use the correct one.
When this happens you have to open a terminal, get the process id for mysql-server-5 then kill that process. Like this: Code: ps -A then from the list of processes that it spits out look at the process id (the number at the beginning of the line) for mysql-server-5.
Now type Code: sudo kill -9 XXXXX where XXXXX is the process id for mysql-server, and enter your password. The upgrade process should now resume.
I have been trying for the last couple of days to upgrade a Xen guest running on Xen Server 5.5 from 11.0 to a more recent version. I have tried both 11.3 and 11.1. The upgrade seems to take, but it fails on the initial boot. It seems that it is expecting the root partition to be on /dev/sda2 - however I believe it is supposed to be /dev/xvda2. Initially when fstab had /dev/xvda2 I had a warning, so I changed fstab through yast to use the drives uuid. I've also tried zypper dup - but that gave all sorts of dependency errors. For kicks, I thought I might try 11.4 next. Am I out of luck and should just go with a fresh install?
So i am running Kubuntu with kde4 on my laptop. The game Wesnoth recently got updated to 1.8 and when i go to kpackagekit it does not show wesnoth 1.8 it only shows 1.6.5 or whatever. This may have something to do with my repository (<----- Know very little about),
I'm just about to commence a full reinstall of my home media server. Planning on using 1x 1tb and 7x 1.5TB drives in raid 6. I notice the version of mdadm distributed in Ubuntu is 2.6.7.1, but versions exist up to 2.6.9 (excluding all the 3.X ones) Is it worth using a later version? Or is 2.6.7.1 used for a particular reason?
I upgraded Ubuntu from version 10.04 to 10.10. When the upgrade completed I was asked to reboot. After reboot I simply got the message "error: file not found" on the screen. After a few seconds the machine rebooted.
I guess it is the boot loader that was not found. Is there some hope of fixing this problem?
