Just been scared to do a fresh install because it can't be upgraded from 6.8. I'm saving the old HD just in case I need to revert back. This will be the first time in 20 yrs that I'll try 'custom' partitioning. I've always gone the default route. I want to setup extra space/partition for backups until I can build a stand alone NAS. I hope all my config files in 6.8 work in 7.3.

This page will help: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html But there are many other apache 2.2 to 2.4 upgrading help sites available. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't really do anything special with apache except for my test website that use a .htaccess file to rewrite for seo urls. I am more concerned with mail and dns. Fail2ban wasn't an easy setup getting rules to work. Then there's iptables and ipset. Hope I can hit the ground running.
