How to Update Apache on OS X Mountain Lion Server?
Folks,
I have installed the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion and the corresponding OSX Lion Server.
After quite a process I managed to update PHP to the latest 5.4.10 (albeit sans internationalisation).
However, I haven't found a detailed set of steps via Google on how to manually update the Apache web server on this type of system.
The installed version of Apache is 2.2.22. On 2012-09-13 Apache released 2.2.23 which fixes some potential security vulnerabilities.
Given that security is an important consideration for a server I would like to update the apache web server.
Could someone please post the ./configure steps etc to do this?
I am primarily using the server on a Mac Mini for an Intranet. So, would it be better to install Apache 2.4.3 (released 2012-08-21) instead of Apache 2.2.2?
Or are the differences to great that it would break the system? Why does Apache have two different versions for a product that does the same thing?
Please advise. Thanks,
Regards,
Tony
