Topic: Apache 2.4 drop-in replacement?

Today, I upgraded my CentOS 6.6 PHP package with this simple command

yum --enablerepo=remi-php56,remi update php\*

I'm trying to do the same with Apache, but this doesn't work

yum --enablerepo=remi-httpd24,remi update httpd\* -y

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Re: Apache 2.4 drop-in replacement?

I don't provide Apache, mostly only the PHP stack (which is already lot of work)

I recommend to use the SCL package available in centos-scl repo or on https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/ … l/httpd24/

Or simpler/better, use CentOS 7 which provides httpd 2.4.

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

Re: Apache 2.4 drop-in replacement?

Thanks for your reply. The problem is that the CentOS 6.6 upgrade to CentOS 7 is not supported (see http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool ) and I've SSH-only access to my server..

If SCL is the only solution I'll try it. Unfortunately, I was looking for simpler to maintain/upgrade/use drop-in replacement, php56-style...
