At present we are on Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX) version. To fix the vulnerabilities we are suggested to upgrade to new version. I got new version from online using "wget" command and followed steps mentioned on this link http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html#download.
Once I am done, checked version using httpd -v. It gives me old version Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX). If I check using /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd - v. It gives me new version. Did I successfully upgraded the version or not? If not what should I do?
I tried "yum install httpd" - It says "Nothing to do".
You now have two versions of Apache installed. You have the one installed with the system package manager (yum) in /usr/sbin/httpd. You have one installed manually in /usr/local/apache2/....
Which one you get will be determined entirely by which path you use.
In general, mixing system-managed packages with manually installed packages is a recipe for trouble. If you want to stick with the newer version in /usr/local, you should remove the system version, and realize that you will lose some manageability. For example, you will no longer be able to use yum install ... to install new Apache modules, and you will not be able to verify the installed files using tools like rpmverify.
If your distribution currently has Apache 2.2.x, that suggests your distribution is fairly old. For example, RHEL (and CentOS) 7 (and similar variants) have version 2.4.6 packaged, so you may want to update your host to something newer than whatever you're running now.
Yes, its successfully upgraded as per the screenshot.
httpd 2.2.15 is the version with RHEL 6 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /etc/httpd (Highest version provided for HTTPD via RPM RHEL 6 is 2.2.15)
httpd 2.4.6 is the version with EPEL-HTTPD24 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /usr/local/apache2/

I'm getting this error when i try to run apache:
./httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to upgrade my pcre, to get the so.0 :
Package pcre-8.33-11.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I'm out of ideas, hope someone can help.
This error is occurring because the version of Apache that is currently installed was built against an older version of pcre.
First upgrade Apache to the latest version in the Fedora repositories. The latest version should have been built against the newer pcre shared object.
If you can't, or won't upgrade Apache, you can downgrade the pcre package to the first version that contains libpcre.so.0, which is 7.8 I think.
If you need a quick fix and aren't using this web server for anything too serious you may be able to make it work by sym-linking libpcre.so.0 to libpcre.so.1.
lastly, you could rebuild Apache manually, which should use the pcre that is currently installed.
I have an rpm compiled in centos 5.x which requires libnetsnmp.so.10 and other shared objects. I want to create an rpm of it which is to be run on centos 6.x but it fails to install as on installation it says :
error: Failed dependencies:
libnetsnmp.so.10()(64bit) is needed and so on...
But Centos 6.x contains libnetsnmp.so.20
So I created symbolic links of libnetsnmp.so.10 of libnetsnmp.so.20.
But problem is still the same.
So can you please help me to resolve this problem?
If recompiling for Centos 6 isn't an option, you can try two things, first, install the correct libnetsnmp in the Centos 6 server. If that's not an option, you can add the following to your RPM spec file:
Autoreq: no
This will cause it not to scan your binary for dependencies (such as dynamically linked libraries), and automatically build that into the RPM.
Of course, if that version of libnetsnmp is ACTUALLY required, your just hosing yourself down the road, but likely newer versions will work just fine.
Requirement is to download software from Centos 5.4. When I do yum install , I get the latest version and not the one available for Centos 5.4.
How do I configure yum to download only from 5.4 repo?
As I said in my answer to your other question you need to find a repository that has a maintained, static entry for 5.4.
Most repositories have just one repository for each major version and upgrade it as new minor versions are released. But some keep specific repositories for each version independently (at least for a little while).
I would start with checking whether your current repository has an explicitly 5.4 repository (by using the URL in the yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file for the repository).
If that doesn't work out you get to try other mirrors as listed on the CentOS mirrors website.
As a fallback, and I encourage you to try to find a valid mirror first, you can find this sort of minor version specific repository on http://vault.centos.org.
I have installed ubuntu 10.x in my virtual box. From that i am upgrading the ubuntu machine to 12.04. Will the older versions[10.x] still remain in my machine or only the latest version will be available. If older versions available then how to clear my older versions of ubuntu? Please don't tell that install a new version of ubuntu. Because my data will be lost when i install a newer version of ubuntu.
Properly made upgrade process converts and replaces your old installation. That involves replacing libraries with never versions, updating sources list, converting and replacing configuration files etc. Some problems can appear, if you have not supported software installed (e.g. some PPA's can be not maintained for newer OS versions), but usually that is not a big issue.
All your private files and folders (your home folder) will survive this operation.
There are plenty of "how-tos" about upgrading Ubuntu to newer versions. Just take a look at how-do-i-upgrade-to-a-newer-version-of-ubuntu at AskUbuntu; after successfull upgrade you'll log into new version, no older version will remain on disk.
Of course, keep in mind that upgrading can take much more time than making a backup of your private files, doing clean install of new Ubuntu and getting your files back from backup.
I have installed OpenSUSE 12.1 installed on machine.
and i have postgresql-contrib-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-devel-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm, postgresql-docs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-libs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm..
I want to installed postgresql 8.3 version based on above packages..but when i installed with this command .it shows an error.
opnsu121:/ # rpm -Uvh postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
postgresql = 8.3 is needed by postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586
Even i am not able to find postgresql 8.3 base version as i think the above one is update.i have gone throgh the download.openSUSE.orf,ftp.openSUSE.org..
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0/rpm/i586/..
but not able to find what i need..so please help on this,
If at all possible, use YaST or whatever package manager SuSE uses to install the current version of PostgreSQL. From the repository it looks like that's 9.1.1.
If you specifically need PostgreSQL 8.3, I'd recommend using the distro-independent installer from EnterpriseDB. That should work fine on SuSE 12.2. If your organisation has particularly restrictive and unsafe version policies that force you to use old versions with known bugs, you can get 8.3.14 for 32-bit Linux here and 8.3.11 for 32-bit Linux here.
If you have issues with using the well-tested and known-to-work EnterpriseDB binary installer versions of PostgreSQL, your other option (and a good one) is to install from source code. Download the PostgreSQL 8.3.18 sources from the FTP site, then:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/postgresql93
sudo chown `id -un` /opt/postgresql93
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql93
make
make install
after which you can use /opt/postgresql93/bin/initdb (see initdb manual) to create a database and /opt/postgresql93/bin/pg_ctl (see pg_ctl manual) to start/stop it, as per the PostgreSQL documentation.
Don't try to force packages from an old version of SuSE to install on your new version. It'll probably result in an increasing tree of dependencies and end in pain.
If at all possible, try to convince your company that their policy of requiring a specific minor version (eg 8.4.14 not just "8.4.x") of PostgreSQL is unsafe and counterproductive. They're forcing you to do dirty hacks or hand-compile unique, custom installs just for your setup in order to avoid using well tested builds that contain extra bug fixes. Requiring approval before upgrading from 8.3 to 8.4/9.0/9.1/etc makes sense as there are feature and backward compatibility changes that require careful testing, but requiring approval before upgrading from 8.3.14 to 8.3.18 is counterproductive. Minor version upgrades of PostgreSQL are very conservative; you should stay up to date with the latest minor release.
hurray...I got the answer..
I have got the package below:
postgresql-contrib-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm, postgresql-devel-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-docs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-libs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm from the below link:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/i586/
and the one more package which i have struggled to get is:
postgresql-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm with the following link:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17194424/dir/opensuse_11.x/com/postgresql-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm.html
with all above packages i have installed using..
rpm -ivh packagename
if there is a dependency then rpm -ivh --nodeps packagename
great..its done..
