View Full Version : Updating Apache using EasyApache

EasyApache makes it seem fairly simple to perform a basic upgrade. However, I don't necessarily know all the options available and how they should be set. A search shows a lot of questions about EasyApache, but I didn't find any place where each option was explained.

Basically there are 7 options available when EasyApache is run. How do we determine which to run? (I am using the server for web hosting). I see Option 6 suggested often. Option 7 seems like it will do what I want (keep existing configuration), but it warns to use at your own risk. While everything is "use at your own risk", the hard-coded warning concerns me. Can I use this option?

Can anybody explain where to find my current setting for these? Or what is the most common setting? Some I know where to find (php version, etc), but some are not so obvious (Raise FD_SETSIZE to 16384)

[ ] Expire Modules
[ ] Raise FD_SETSIZE to 16384
[ ] Prevent Users from reading other Webroots
[ ] Frontpage Module
[ ] GZip Module
[ ] Raise HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
[ ] Perl Module
[ ] Php Module --> links to next screen
[ ] Php suExec
[ ] Rewrite Module
[ ] SSL Module
[ ] suExec Module

PHP Options:
[ ] Version 4.2.3
[ ] Version 4.3.2
[ ] Version 4.3.3
[ ] Version 4.3.4
[ ] Version 4.3.5
[ ] Version 4.3.6
[ ] Version 4.3.7
[ ] Bc Math
[ ] Calendar Support
[ ] Curl
[ ] Curl SSL
[ ] Dom XSLT
[ ] Exif

Thanks for the help.

Do at least the ones I've left
[ ] Expire Modules
[ ] Raise FD_SETSIZE to 16384
[ ] Prevent Users from reading other Webroots
[ ] Frontpage Module
[ ] GZip Module
[ ] Raise HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
[ ] Perl Module
[ ] Php Module --> links to next screen

[ ] Rewrite Module
[ ] SSL Module
[ ] suExec Module

PHP Options:

[ ] Version 4.3.5
[ ] Bc Math
[ ] Curl
[ ] Curl SSL

Allso GD,Mcrypt and OpenSSL are good ideas

To find out what your current settings are, just make a file called info.php and then put this only in it:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Then goto the file via browser and you can see your current configuration.

Leave all the default options and then add these under PHP: Version 4.3.7, Curl, Curl SSL, Dom XSLT, Flash, GD, GetText, Imap, Mcrypt, OpenSSL, Freetype Support, WDDX, XML RPC

So do you use Option 6 and set everything, or try option 7 and just fix the PHP setup?
