Author Apache Rollback or Reinstall
Chuck Smith

I'm running Fedora and recently the server was upgraded which appears to
also upgrade apache. Currently version 2.2.4 is installed but not running
due to a problem with DSO modules. I tried to install 2.2.6 thinking that
I'd get up to the latest version and start cleaning up the other problems as
I went. Now I think I've got a new install in another directory, the old
2.2.4.

I would like to uninstall the 2.2.6, rollback the 2.2.4 to a version
compatible with the existing modules and then start the upgrade over.

I'm hoping this group could guide me through the steps keeping in mind that
I'm new to the linux environment.

Fedora is higly experimental, hence you can run into problems by
running 'bleading edge' things that are not completely stable, I
wouldn't run a server on it.

how? did you compiled from souces or did you used packages?

So, how many different versions did you have now?

I'd say: zap both and start from scratch, re-install all the modules and
be sure they work. Usually, if you simply compile the sources, you'll
have a functional system.

Sorry, this group is called apache.configuration, not 'linux.help', that
one is a different group. My suggestion is: get used to linux first and
then perform upgrade/maintenance tasks. On the other hand, we have no
idea HOW you performed all the above manipulations, so it's impossible
to give any meaningful instruction.
