Redhat secure server - Nov 1998 - RedHat Linux upgrade from Ver 5.1 to 5.2. (Secure Web Server problem)

Hi all

_HELP_

I have just updated my RedHat Linux from Ver 5.1 to 5.2.  All went well 
except I did not see Apache in the install list (I did look for it to remove 
it). By the time it flashed by during the package install it was to late. Now 
everything except the Secure Web Server is working fine.

I did replace the “httpd.conf” with the old “httpd.conf.rpmsave” but it 
appears that the install replaced the other components of the Secure 
Web Server as well.  So I tried to reinstall the Secure Web Server but it 
detected the earlier install and will not over wright it.

Any clue as to how to reinstall the Secure Web Server. (I did RTFM but 
there is not a clue in there)

Thank You

Simply reinstall the secureweb package, and any module packages that you
require (mod_ssl and/or mod_php3).  To get around the problems with it
already thinking that sws is on the system, do an rpm -e apache and an
rpm -e secureweb.

However, because secure web server and apache have different binaries
(/usr/sbin/httpd and /usr/sbin/httpsd) Secure Web server should still be
present on the computer.  The only thing that Red Hat might have
"overwritten" would be some of the dynamic modules (mod_ssl and/or
mod_php3).  You have the use the modules that come with secure web server,
because they are specific to apache 1.3.1, whereas Red Hat 5.2 shipped
with Apache 1.3.3.
