Chapter 2. Upgrading to the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37
For systems where an earlier version of the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server was installed from a .zip archive, upgrading to the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37 requires:
- Installing the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37.
- Setting up the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37.
- Removing the earlier version of Apache HTTP Server.
Prerequisites
- Administrative access (Windows Server)
- A system where the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29 or earlier was installed from a .zip archive.
Procedure
For systems using the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29, the recommended procedure for upgrading to the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37 is:
- Shut down any running instances of Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29.
- Back up the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29 installation and configuration files.
- Install the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.37 using the .zip installation method for the current system (see Additional Resources below).
Migrate your configuration from the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.29 to version 2.4.37.
NoteThe Apache HTTP Server configuration files may have changed since the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29 release. It is recommended that you update the 2.4.37 version configuration files, rather than overwrite them with the configuration files from a different version (such as the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29).
- Remove the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.29 root directory.
