Re: [cobalt-users] How upgrading to apache-1.3.14 on Cobalt Raq3?



I have to agree with Craig on this one. I had a good friend that is big into Linux come over and install PHP4 for me (without recompiling the Apache kernel). It didn't look that hard when he did it, but I sure couldn't repeat those steps unless I had hard documentation. But anyway, my RAQ3 is running PHP4, and all it cost me was a few beers. It is a little humiliating breaking down and asking folks for help, but as Craig was stating in his posts, don't bite off more than you can chew. Take one step at a time and some day we will all be Cobalt gurus?...grin.

Gee Craig, lots of help there.

At 12:31 AM 1/13/01 -0500, you wrote:
I needs to upgrade to a newer version of apache and do not know how >>>to do that.
Also, any help on how securising my web site with SSL is welcome.

You're kidding right..? You don't know how to setup SSL services on >>your RaQ3 and yet you're talking about wanting to recompile and upgrade the Apache kernel on the system...

Believe me! I'm not trying to "humor" (or insult) him; I'm a realist - just as I was when I helped point you to the mySQL packages you installed on your box. How closely do you follow this <or the developer?s> list..? If he even *thinks* he'll be able to recompile his RaQ3 successfully, the best to him!! I've followed and participated <and observed> this board <and developers list> for over a year now, and to my knowledge, even the slickest of Cobalt guru?s haven't succeeded in recompiling their RaQ3 <at least not without MAJOR headaches ? again to my knowledge> - It?ll break everything on the box!! And for god's sake, he's asking how to setup SSL - it's a button and a text field in the siteadmin GUI -- please!! Trust me - don't try and recompile your RaQ3, you'll find yourself on the floor in tears..!! Let?s not lead people that need or request our help down a path of destruction under false pretenses?

Now? The poster just stated he needed to upgrade <recompile> Apache to the latest version, but he didn?t state for what reason. I?m betting it might be so he can run PHP4 <maybe not>, as it requires Apache to be compiled with 1.3.12+ <Cobalt?s come installed with 1.3.6>. ?-BUT? HE DOESN?T NEED TO RECOILE APACHE to get PHP4 to work.. The list has good instructions on how to install PHP4 if one searches the archives.. <again if that?s what he wanted the recompile for>.


Good Luck to ya!
Craig Napier
