Hi folks,
For a variety of reasons and features, I'd like to install the
apache-httpd-2.2.4.tgz package. As a side note, I tried to install it
on OpenBSD 4.2, and there are a few package dependencies it apparently
is missing (at least on my box, which runs 4.2 without X) because the
install fails.
Anyway,
1.) Is there a "correct" way to uninstall the default Apache 1.3 that
ships with OpenBSD? I can't use a "pkg_delete..." can I?
2.) Maybe I don't need to? If I don't uninstall the original Apache,
will the new version overwrite the 1.3 version?
3.) Do I need to chroot the Apache 2.2.4 or will the "default" install
set it up that way?
Thank you,
Ed
I don't think uninstalling the default Apache is recommended or needed.
The Apache 2 port should work just fine with the base Apache left alone.
Upgrading to 4.3 or a snapshot will get rid of any X dependency problems
you may run into as 'needed' cruft like expat is now shipped in base.
The Apache 2 port builds the unaltered version from apache.org. I don't
believe Apache 2 runs in a chroot by default, so that would be up to you
to configure manually.
