Hi there!

Has anyone used this package on an Raq3?
RaQ3-unofficial-Apache-1.3.20.pkg

(found here:

http://cobalt-aid.sourceforge.net/files/??

Any comments, difficulties, etc.?
Does it keep your current apache, php, mysql, webalizer configuration?

Like everybody else here, I'm concerned about security on apache 1.3.6 and I also want to upgrade to the latest PHP version.

Has anyone succeeded installing apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.1 in a Raq3? I'm not interested in running chilisoft.

Thank you,
Daniel

I used this page to upgrade apache to 1.3.22 and the other things mentioned there to the latest versions:
http://www.sakuralover.com/raq3/upgrade_raq3.htm
Since I already had PHP installed I skipped that part

I upgraded to MySQL 3.23.46 and PHP 4.1.1 later. Everything is running smooth :)

I've been curious about this too. I've always preferred the "painless" method of using PKG's for upgrades...

Hopefully someone that's used it will lend their expirience..

I have installed it on 2 raq3 and have no problem.

The only thing that I have noticed is that you have to add a line on each site that is using frontpage (usr/local/frontpage/www.domain.com:80.cnf)
add at the end:
MailSender:email@domain.com
Or the form that are submited by email will return you an error message

ok, got brave and tried it out.

The only caveat I came up with was that it stopped mySQL - I had to reboot to restart; the PKG didn't prompt for a reboot.

Everything is working "spiffy" - and it even fixed a little mod_perl problem I was having.

PHP, mySQL, and sites all seemed unaffected (in any bad way).

I knew about the pkg, but I preferred the, umm, sakuralover-way because it leaves the way back wide open, which is a comforting thought :)

installed the unoffical .pkg yesterday on my raq3. everything works fine. only thing to look out for is if you're installing mod_gzip. It broke .htaccess. Had to add this into httpd.conf to fix the problem:

mod_gzip_item_exclude file authorizationRequired.html
mod_gzip_item_exclude file fileNotFound.html
mod_gzip_item_exclude file internalServerError.html
mod_gzip_item_exclude file forbidden.html

other than that, everything is great.
