In this tutorial we will show you how easily you can upgrade Apache 2.2 to 2.4 and suPHP 0.7.1 to 0.7.2 in CentOS Web Panel.
Lets go head with the installation:
1) Make directory for files
rm -rf /tmp/apache-build mkdir -p /tmp/apache-build cd /tmp/apache-build
2) Download Apache 2.4.17 , Apr 1.5.2, Apr-Util 1.5.4 and suPHP 0.7.2.
http://www.eu.apache.org/dist//httpd/httpd-2.4.17.tar.gz http://www.eu.apache.org/dist//apr/apr-1.5.2.tar.gz http://www.eu.apache.org/dist//apr/apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz http://www.suphp.org/download/suphp-0.7.2.tar.gz
3) Extract each compressed folders one by one.
tar zxvf httpd-2.4.17.tar.gz tar zxvf apr-1.5.2.tar.gz tar zxvf apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz tar zxvf suphp-0.7.2.tar.gz
4) Install and configure Apr 1.5.2.
cd /tmp/apache-build/apr-1.5.2 ./configure make make install
5) Install and configure Apr-Util 1.5.4.
cd /tmp/apache-build/apr-util-1.5.4 ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/ make make install
6) Install Apache 2.4.x
cd /tmp/apache-build/httpd-2.4.17 rm -rf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf ./configure --enable-so --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-ssl --enable-unique-id --enable-ssl=/usr/include/openssl --enable-rewrite --enable-deflate --enable-suexec --with-suexec-docroot="/home" --with-suexec-caller="nobody" --with-suexec-logfile="/usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log" --enable-asis --enable-filter --with-pcre --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr --enable-headers --enable-expires --enable-proxy make make install
7) Include related files and folders.
echo "Include /usr/local/apache/conf/sharedip.conf" >> /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf echo "Include /usr/local/apache/conf.d/*.conf" >> /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf echo "ExtendedStatus On" >> /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf sed -i "s|DirectoryIndex index.html|DirectoryIndex index.php index.html|g" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
8) Edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and at the end of file add the lines below:
nano /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
9) Install suPHP 0.7.2.
cd /tmp/apache-build/suphp-0.7.2 yum install autoconf automake libtool -y perl -pi -e 's/AM_CONFIG_HEADER/AC_CONFIG_HEADERS/' configure.ac aclocal libtoolize --force automake --add-missing autoreconf perl -pi -e 's#"\$major_version" = "2.2"#"\$major_version" = "2.4"#' ./configure ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-setid-mode=paranoid --with-apache-user=nobody --with-gnu-ld --disable-checkpath make make install
10) Enable related dependencies.
sed -i "s|User daemon|User nobody|g" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf sed -i "s|Group daemon|Group nobody|g" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf sed -i "s|.*modules/libphp5.so.*||g" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf sed -i "s|.*httpd-userdir.conf.*|Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf|" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
11) Edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment mod_userdir, mod_rewrite and mod_slotmem_shm.
nano /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
#LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so #LoadModule slotmem_shm_module modules/mod_slotmem_shm.so
12) Start Apache.
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd service httpd restart
13) Configure Apache to auto start on boot.
chkconfig httpd on
14) Check apache version and modules loaded.
httpd -M httpd -v
NOTE: Your website will show forbidden error. So you need to add a line Require all granted under each domain in /usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts.conf
nano /usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts.conf
