Topic: Upgrading from apache 2.2.15 to 2.2.17 in windows.

[tornado]

HI,

Have currently installed on windows 2008 server.

Need to upgrade from

httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi

to

httpd-2.2.17-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi

I cannot see anywhere in Apache on how to do an upgrade.

IS there any way to do this without unistalling the current version of Apache ?

Yes there is,

You can unpack the msi file and drop all the files inside to a temporary folder with

msiexec /a c:\httpd-2.2.17-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi
/qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp

Stop the Apache service and backup what you have just in case.

Replace the /bin and /modules folders with the files from those folders in the unpacked msi. These are the two folders of files Apache uses to run from.

You can also replace the /include, /lib and /manual folders as well if you wish. Do not overwrite your existing /conf and /htdocs folders.

Start Apache the service. You are on 2008 so the services Window should update and show 2.2.17, on XP & prior it would still she the old version but a httpd -V at the command line would confirm you were really running the newer version.
