Upgrade Question

Hi

I currently have mod_ssl-2.8.7-1.3.23(apache) deal. I have seen the security issue and the suggetions to upgrade to 2.0 or 1.3.26.

Couple of questions, Please.
1. Can I just install the new apache version over my old install? And will it still use my ssl info? If not is there a command I can run when I configure the new apache to not overright all my info in /opt/apache?

2. Or do I need to wait for a "mod_ssl-2.x.x-1.3.26" release??

Thanks for any input,
Rob

If by "info" you mean configuration, the answer is yes. If by "info"
you mean mod_ssl itself, the answer is no.

There has already been one. mod_ssl 2.8.9 is out.

So just grab 1.3.26 and 2.8.9, compile them with the same options you
did on 1.3.23/2.8.7, and when you install it it will overwrite the old
binaries but keep your old config files.

(remember to back up the old install directory just in case ;)
