That will teach me :) Shyne 06-21-2002, 11:45 PM RackMy has to go through all these security troubles EVERYDAY. mwatkins 06-22-2002, 12:40 AM :D akashik 06-22-2002, 08:02 AM Of course the difference is the apache upgrade can be done live, takes no time at all, and doesn't even require a reboot. Lemme see a windows server do that :) Greg Moore allan 06-22-2002, 11:50 AM Originally posted by akashik Of course the difference is the apache upgrade can be done live, takes no time at all, and doesn't even require a reboot.

Lemme see a windows server do that :) Greg Moore I'm all upgraded :) I had 1.3.2 now I have 1.3.26 and I didnt even need to reboot :stickout I had to kill it, and un-install it though, and BTW I'm on windows :eek2: :D Mike the newbie 06-22-2002, 12:13 PM Originally posted by akashik Of course the difference is the apache upgrade can be done live, takes no time at all, and doesn't even require a reboot. Lemme see a windows server do that :) Another difference is the speed in which the open-source community released the bug fix. Some Microsoft security fixes take months to be released.

Sorry, but I had to get in my 300th post ;) RackMy.com 06-22-2002, 02:28 PM Of course the difference is the apache upgrade can be done live, takes no time at all, and doesn't even require a reboot. Lemme see a windows server do that Most IIS patches (as of late) don't require a reboot and MS is really trying to make more and more like this. Mike the newbie 06-22-2002, 05:29 PM Originally posted by RackMy.com Most IIS patches (as of late) don't require a reboot and MS is really trying to make more and more like this. Unfortunately, due to the architecture of Windows and IIS (i.e., lots of "co-mingling" between applications and the OS), it is going to become more and more difficult to remove the remaining reboots from the update process. Windows just was not architected cleanly enough to remove the reboot requirement. |
