Upgrade Apache 2.2.22 to 2.2.26 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I've been scouring the internet for what should be a seemingly simple process, but I can't seem to get this to work.

I currently have Apache 2.2.22 running on my Ubuntu Server, and I simply need to upgrade to the latest release. Ubuntu has not updated their repository yet, so I can't use apt-get (sadly).

I found this post detailing how to install 2.4.3 from a .tar.bz2 so I figured I would try that. I uninstalled Apache 2.2.22 and followed all the steps (but used a .tar for 2.2.26 of course).

When I run /etc/apache2/bin/apachectl start, it doesn't complain, but the web server doesn't appear to be working. Going to website just results in Chrome saying "The page could not be displayed". No error 500, nothing. (I should note I ran configure like this: ./configure --prefix=/etc/apache2)

Running service apache2 start simply results in it saying No Apache MPM Package Installed.

Any ideas on how to perform this update?

Answer

Debian/Ubuntu package apps like Apache differently from the Red Hat world, and Suse and others may be different again. I see there aren't any Ubuntu deb packages or RH rpms beyond 2.2.22 but that Apache has a 2.4.7. So Ubuntu, RH, and Apache src build will probably put configurations in different places, and indeed, change the things are handled ( like mods for instance).

So once you save off your configuration, I'd purge apache to delete files, making sure the daemons are not running, and everything really was deleted. Then build the src from Apache.

The problem with this is that you won't easily be able to upgrade later, so you'll have to judge your level of patience and actual need for the upgrade before you embark.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
