Two versions of Apache

[serguey kavafian]

Hi,
We have L2000 HP-UX 11.00 with Oracle HTTP based Apache server 1.3.14 with Oracle 8.1.7 database and separate installation of Tomcat (port 8080).
We install current vision of Apache as part of the Oracle Database Installation on the database home directory (port 7777). We clone port 80 creating directory tree (bin, conf, log and etc.).
Now we need to install mySQL with PHP4 support. I was advised to install a separate version of Apache 1.3.19 or above (v1.3.26 was suggested). Is it possible? How to do it? Please advise.
Thank you,
Serguey

You can install as many versions (or copies) of Apache as you need.

You'll have to mess with the directory configs each time you build Apache (or I believe you can reference configs on the command line).

You put each different version (or copy) in a directory

e.g.
/opt/apache_install1
/opt/apache_install2
/opt/apache_install3

The only caveat is that the different Apaches (or any other web servers) can't bind to the same port/IP combination.

Thank you. So for example in case of downloading Apache v.1.3.19 from HP website and using swinstall. Will it preserve existing installation without any changes?

HP's v2 Apache installs in /opt/hpapache2/

I'm not sure where 1.3.19 goes, though be advised that 1.3.26 is current and there are security issues with earlier versions.

I'm installing right now v.1.3.26 from Apache website.

Thanks,
