Ubuntu Servers :: 8.04 - Upgrading Apache From 2.28 To 2.2.17
Nov 14, 2010
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.

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?

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?

I have Webmin installed on an Ubuntu server. I currently have a successful apache server running on port 80, however I want to create a virtual host on port 81. When I try I go to servers->Apache Webserver-> Create Virtual Host I change the port to 81 and the document root to /var/port81www then I click create. How ever when I goto 192.168.1.5:81 (local ip, I know I have to port forward but its not even working local) it does not work.

I have several remotely hosted boxes (running 9.10 Server 64-bit) that I'd like to upgrade at some point to Lucid Server, preferably using do-release-upgrade.
Is this possible currently via SSH, without lockout or breakage?
Theoretically, I can have the datacenter staff do the upgrade for me, but I'd prefer to do it myself if it's possible to do so.

We have an Old 7.10 server which i want to upgrade to 10 but i cant work out how to do it, or if its still possible. I ran this:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (Which says its up to date)
and then
sudo do-release-upgrade
which i found here:
[URL]
But all it comes back with is:
No new release found.
From what i gather i need to go to 8 before i can go to 10.

I need immediate assistance on the upgrade process off ubuntu server from version 9.04 to 9.10. Here is my output after running do-release-upgrade. I first ran the release upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, which ran really smoothely without errors and at the end prompted a reboot. I have rebooted and decided to upgrade further - 9.04 to 9.10. And here is the result. I saw this long into the upgrade process, somewhere 1.5 hours into the upgrade: [URL]

I have just found a 120gb scsi drive which i would like to use as my system drive instead of my current 80gb scsi drive. I cannot simply plug the drive in for extra storage as i don't have a spare scsi slot! only have 2 and one is for the dvd-drive
is it ok just to dd the one onto the other? can i do this whilst the system is live? or should i use a live cd? or better still put both drives into a separate linux box?
its currently formatted to ext3.
plus would i need to use any special switches using the dd command? or would it simply be :
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
just trying to avoid a re-install!

I have an ancient computer that's been running Ubuntu since about last year. I started with 8.04.4 but then upgraded to 10.04 via apt-get.I mostly use this machine as a file dump for other computers on the network.

I have an Ubuntu 8.04 server running 2.6.24-23-server. I have a godaddy account and I am trying to upgrade my os version to 10.04, which requires a kernel upgrade. I have tried ksplice but kernel 2.6.24-23-server is not supported. I have heard about screen sessions but I have not found it possible to reboot one screen while having the other screen stay persistent if it is possible.So the main question is how to update Ubunut 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04 with out rebooting the entire server? Rebooting is completely not an option at the moment.

I upgraded the boot loader using apt-get upgrade. So Grub upgraded and I believe it automatically ran the upgrade-grub-from-legacy executable. I was confused on what to do so I selected all drives. When I did that, I received a bunch of messages, I will write only non-redundant ones:
mdadm group disk not found (many times, over 20 or so) installation finished, no errors reported (4 times, I guess for my 4 hard drives)Found linux image vmlinux Found initrd image Next, I reboot, and absolutely nothing, not even a grub prompt!! So I tried the following:
1) grub-install /dev/sda1
2) Super grub disk
3) Ubuntu Server Installation CD in rescue mode trying, I get the infamous red error screen when trying to install grub
Nothing worked! My partitions are all there and I can see them and mount them from rescue CD, but I cannot boot to the system, My partitions layout:
One LVM sitting on two RAID-1 Drives Sitting on all four hard drives sda, sdb, sdc, sdd
One Root partition /dev/md2 in RAID-1 Drive sitting on two of the four drives (sda2 and sdb2) Four bios_grub partitions sda1, sdb1, sdc1 and sdd1 each ~1MB Two Swap partitions on two raid drives
I would give more detail but I think the problem is probably in the bootloader configuration because I can access all partitions including LVM and RAIDs from the rescue CD.

I was running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS and using flashpolicytwistd from Google Code to support flash-based telnet on two websites. After upgrading to 10.04 flashpolicytwistd no longer starts.
If I do the following to manually start flashpolicytwistd:

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?

When I installed F11 I chose to install Bugzilla with it. It is installed and working great, but It is not the newest version, and apparently the repositories I have installed do not have the newest version. Anyone know what repository I could get this from, if its possible?

Ran 'do-release-upgrade -d'on my server running Hardy.No problems during the upgrade.Rebooted after the upgrade completed, and I was presented with the new plymouth screen. This sucks for servers.It sat there displaying the logo for ~5 minutes.Hit CTRL+ALT+F1 through F8 and didn't see anything on the virtual consoles.Finally figured out that I had to hit ESC on the plymouth screen to actually see what was going on.It said /dev/sdi1 had problems along with /dev/md0.It sat there forever with no fsck status and no HDD lights blinking.
SysRq+REISUB and tweaked the boot parameter to remove 'quiet splash' and appended 'S' for single-user mode.Got the attached screenshot.The box has been sitting like this for ~15 minutes.Not entirely sure what to report a bug against at the moment. Plus the somewhat-new requirement of running 'ubuntu-bug' is pretty retarded in this situation. (Yeah, I know I can add some string to the URL to get around it.Why is it such a pain in the *** to report a bug?)I'm going to do some more digging to try and find out what is dying during boot.The new boot process is a bit of a mystery to me still, so if anyone has pointers or any devs want more detailed information,

When I was upgrading my system (ubuntu server edition) today from 8.10 to 10.04 (of course in small steps: upgrade version after version) everything seemed running smoothly. But when I restarted it, it gave an error message: Gave up waiting on root device. Screenshot of error and grub menu attached. I've read some information about it and applied the possible workaround given here: [URL]. My system is very old and so is the HDD: it uses an IDE connector. Typing 'exit' doesn't work either.

I've run into a problem and I don't know if it's apache or php or the combination of both. I can compile apache 2.2.15 just fine, but whenever I try to compile php 5.3.2 into my server, the first two steps work just fine but when I get to the make install part it shows the libphp5.so and it just stays there and I have to cancel the install because it won't finish.

just switched our company from windows server to linux and everything is going good except we have 4 vpn connections though out the country coming to our server. All giving the client machines ip addresses of 192.168.x.x based on where they are located 192.168.1.x for the main location 192.168.2.x for a second location etc, and IIS could see the clients ip instead of the wan ip and was setup to block all ips except 192.168.x.x ip's and this worked great.
So i set up apache the same way, to allow only 192.168 ip's but i guess it doesn't work that way in apache for connections coming though vpn? 2 out of our 4 VPN connections are not static IP's, so the 2 that are I just add that ip to the allow list and that worked.But i don't think we should HAVE to get static ips for the other 2, that's one of the benefits of using VPN, especially if our old windows server didnt need it.Is there any way for apache to see the clients ip address for access or is there something somewhere else that needs changed for this?

I've got some strange looking requests in my access_log which I don't much like the look of. Can someone take a look and let me know if 1) it's possible for other people to use my server as a proxy, and 2) how I can stop them.
Code:

I'm looking to run some R scripts on a mysql database (engine =csv) from the apache webserver.
The goal is to record some statistics/numbers while someone is logged in, pass those numbers to r, run some statistics algorithms on the passed set of data and output an image file back to the logged-in user's html web page.
Doing this along with knowledge on how to call general r functions from within a php framework would be great.

So here is my problem. I have websiteA.com and websiteB.com. I only have one public IP address. And websiteB needs to be constantly restarted, so both need to be on separate apache servers or instances.Virtual directories wont work cause I can only point websiteA to a directory /var/www/websiteA.Reverse proxy wont work cause I can only catch a sub directory.Proxy /websiteA/ URL...Does anyone know how I could get this to work in anyway.

I have a virtual server setup on port 80 that works fine, however, if I change the port to, say, 8080 the browser then fails to connect.I'm using webmin to configure everything, all the other settings seem to work as I would expect.I get the error "Safari canī open the page http://192.168.0.12:8080 because Safari cant connect to the server 192.168.0.1." in safari, and i get something similar on the xubuntu machine in firefox connecting via localhost.It's almost as though theres a firewall in the way, but I think it's more likely to be some config problem.

I've setup a Ubuntu 9.10 LAMP server to host a word press blog on an intranet. I've got everything working except the url for the site.The IP address of the server will take me to the site URL.../But I'd rather use the server's name instead of the IP address URL...When i try to go to URL... in Firefox or IE it give me a server not found page and changes the URL to URL...I also have Webmin installed on the server and I've been playing around with the Apache module and can't figure out how to set it so i can use the server name instead of the IP address to get to the site.

I am running an apache server thru webmin, on a 8.04 install. Attempting to install awstats I have realized that access.log stopped writing some months ago. Went back thru the error logs and found I had deleted the virtual server, and started a new one. Everything else works fine, it never even occurred to me that logging would not also be restarted. I would just like to get it going again, any clues???
