I purchased a new box last week. Ye another one. The box is still running Apache 1.3.27. Tried upgrading it to 1.3.28 and it refuses to upgrade. DarkORB doesnt have answers and there are quite a few people having the same problem. Anyone else? Running /scripts/easyapache does ZERO! ZILCH! ZIP! I have never seen anything like it. Unimpressed to say the least!

Upgrade using WHM.

Scroll down in WHM to:

Software

Update Apache

And click on Update Apache. Choose your modules, and recompile. WHM will automatically install and restart Apache.

I did that tonight and that didnt work!

Apache Core 1.3.28 1.3.27
Chili!Soft-ASP 3.6.2
Bytes Logger 1.2 1.2
Bandwidth Limiter 1.0 1.0
PHP 4.3.2 4.2.3
FrontPage 5.0.2.2634 5.0.2.2510
mod_ssl 2.8.14 2.8.12
OpenSSL 0.9.6b

And the funniest part of the whole thing is im running OpenSSL 0.9.6j not 0.9.6b as quoted above. At least root says iam. Now tell DarkORB about this and they will log into your box and run the same command as you did, /scripts/easyapache, like you are stupid or something. Hello, we know what to run! Why would they log in to run the same old command that you already know what to run. Try fixing the problem.

What kind of servers do people have? Is this server specific? Mine is on a Cererly 1.7 with 1gig of memory. Anyone else?

Is this another bad image? Im wondering if most of those people who cannot upgrade is a result of some kind of bad image. It has happened before with RS. Are all the customers who cant upgrade Rackshack customers? Is it specific to one type of server? RH version? Or is it a DarkORB problem. I would really like to know because this was the first time I tried upgrading this box since purchasing it last week.

Anyone?

How weird. To be honest, I have CPanel on automatic stable upgrades, and it upgraded to 1.3.28 for me about 2 weeks ago. I did do another upgrade via WHM to go to PHP 4.3.2 1 week ago - it worked for me then too. I don't know what else to suggest.

Erwin,... just out of curiousity... what type of machine are you on. It appears, from many of your postings here, you don't seem to experience any of the enormous problems many people here have with Cpanel/WHM...

Just very curious

thx's

I upgraded 2 RH 7.3 boxes last night and it worked out for me. Goto cpanel.net and try downloading the latest buildapache. I've never had to do that but in your case it probally won't hurt. My cPanel boxes are not at RS so not sure if that really matters. I have Ensim at RS...

Dual Xeon 2 GB RAM 2x73 SCSI RH 7.3 latest everything else.

I have the p4 2.0 1GB ram RH 7.3 not upgrading and yes Cpanel.net got on my machine and tried running the same thing /scripts/easyapache like i dont know that lmao, they did more damage each time by not compiling what i needed and crashing my mysql that i had to just finally lock them out of my box. and i am still on 1.3.27

Well hopefully these Dual Dells will prove to be very dependable then, we just set up on a Dell Dual Xeon 1GBRAM, RH 7.3,RAID 5 w/(3)73GBHD's with Cpanel.

We are about to upgrade the WHM/Cpanels, hopefully this weekend. Been holding off till the latest stable is actually going to be "Stable"...

thx's for the feedback

I have:

P4 2.4Ghz w/ 1GB RAM (80GB IDE HDD) - running cPanel 7.2.1 S85; Apache 1.3.28; PHP 4.3.2

OS: Redhat Linux 7.3

The upgrade to apache worked perfectly.

Hello!
I am new to dedicated server so forgive me!
I purchase a new server yesterday. I was able to upgrade cpanel and this morning I read Aussie's message followed his procedure and was able to upgrade the Apache to the lates rev. 1.3.28.

That doesnt work my friend. I think we are smart enought to have tried this many ways already, at least i did. /scripts/easyapache, buildapache.sea and though WHM does nothing. Im having this problem on a Celery 1.7mhz RH 7.3 with 1gig of ram.

Are most of the people having a problem Rackshack customers?

this seems to be the problem. the openssl upgrade which we did.
It somehow screwsup the easyapache script. i have asked cpanel to look into my box and they re-installed the old openssl RPM and then recompiled apache and it worked!

ARE YOU VERY SURE ABOUT THIS? I did do the openSSL upgrade on my box also, on the one that wont compile. I have to ask Richard about this.

Erwin, im wondering, did you by any change do the openssl upgrade on your box, the one that Richard posted?

I just solved my problem.

Server Version: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) Chili!Soft-ASP/3.6.2 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.0 PHP/4.2.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.15 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
Server Built: Jul 30 2003 14:45:25

Compiled finally and up to date.

The problem is the OpenSSL 0.9.6j [engine] 10 Apr 2003. If you installed this version you need to reinstall the OpenSSL from WHM, via RPM then recompile your box. That will fix the upgrade issue.

I think Richards upgrade was based on an already installed version of Apache 1.3.28 and those of us to upgraded OpenSSL to 0.9.6j prior to the 1.3.28 are having these compile issues.

I too had the same exact problem with not being able to update apache no matter if tried via WHM or command-line. I also did the OpenSSL upgrade before attempting to upgrade apache.

I have a Dell Dual Xeon 2.0, 1G RAM, RAID-5, RH 7.3, cPanel.

Even though the command line still reports this...
root@xeon [~]# openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.6j [engine] 10 Apr 2003
root@xeon [~]#

The WHM still sees the old version of OpenSSL: 0.9.6b

There is a similar thread regarding this at http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?...&threadid=27844

After going to Software in the cPanel WHM, selecting Install a RPM, choosing openssl-devel (reinstall) Force Install, and installing it.... then I was able to upgrade apache using the WHM Update Apache feature.

I'm now seeing Apache Core in the WHM as 1.3.28, but the openSSL is still the old version. For now, I'm leaving it that way.

I'm running P4 2.4ghz RH7.3 and apache upgraded fine...

was aobut to upgrade openssh tonite... but might leave it now...
