Upgrade apache/httpd to 2.2.17 in CentOS Linux
This is again short post for people lazy enough to not compile and always looking for some quick way to upgrade/install software.
The machine is having CentOS 5.2 and httpd 2.2.8. We are looking to upgrade httpd to 2.2.17 to succeed in PCI compliance. While I assured that current Apache is having all security upgrades but still test guys saying we have to upgrade to latest stable. Ok, its not that difficult.
When I checked, almost all common repositories are having upgrades up to 2.2.8 which I did but I need it to latest stable which is 2.2.17 while writing this article. Then I noticed CentAlt repo which is having this upgrade.
