How to upgrade apache2.2.x to 2.2.x+1 on windows

  • 772

I have apache 2.2 installed on windows 2003 on a production web server and need to upgrade it to the newest point release.

Apache only provide an installer for windows (or source .. if i want to compile) - if I install over the top of my current install will it work? Or is that going to break things.

Thanks

windows apache-2.2

    Normally, the same branch configuration files are fully compatible.

    But you can test you new apache configuration with an other tcp port : read this doc to change binding : apache bind

    1. Install new apache in other directory
    2. Change binding configuration in you new apache
    3. Change your configuration to set modules, files & logs directory etc...
    4. Configtest and Start you new apache and check you site with your new apache
