Apache 2.4.6 upgrade to a version >= 2.4.17

[amatejic]

Hi,

I need to upgrade Apache 2.4.6 on my production CentOS 7 servers to a version larger or equal to 2.4.17 (I think) because of built-in HTTP/2 support. Can you please instruct me how to do it? Please keep in mind that it should be performed on production servers so I need safe and fast procedures which avoid any possibility of failure. Please note that the servers are load balanced and hence can be upgraded on the run by removing one by one from the load balancer.

Many thanks,

Aleksandar

That probably will not work as http2 support requires a newer openssl than CentOS 7 ships and you really don't want to think about touching openssl...

The copy of nginx in EPEL uses openssl11-libs also from EPEL and will handle http2 on CentOS 7.

Hi TrevorH,

I've already updated openssl to 1.1.11 on my CentOS 7 servers years ago, so that should not be an issue. As far as I know, http/2 should work with any openssl version >= 1.0.2. Also, using nginx instead of apache, no matter what advantages it may have, currently is not feasible.

Best,

Aleksandar

There is also the httpd24 software collection which provides 2.4.34 which has mod_http2
