How to update Apache and suPHP Apache module in CentOS Web Panel.

To update Apache and suPHP apache module in Centos Web Panel

suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with owner' s permission. It consists of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and a setuid root binary (suphp) which are utilized by the Apache module to change the uid of the process executing the PHP interpreter.

To update Apache and suPHP

Before updating the Apache service, it is required to stop the apache web server. Open the CWP admin to stop the Apache service from the Service Status.

Once it is done, open the terminal and download the apache upgrade script from the link mentioned below and change its directory to /usr/local/src/

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# cd /usr/local/src/
[root@linuxhelp1 src]# wget  http://dl-package.bullten.in/cwp/apache-upgrade.sh

Once it is done, use the following command to grant permission to the script file.

[root@linuxhelp1 src]# chmod +x apache-upgrade.sh
[root@linuxhelp1 src]# ls -l
	otal 3896
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root    5084 Apr  8  2015 apache-upgrade.sh
drwxr-xr-x.  6 root root    4096 Feb  3 06:25 cwp
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   28517 Feb  1 11:43 cwp-latest

-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 3940357 Apr 15  2014 modsecurity-2.8.0.tar.gz

Now run the script file along with tee command with pipe symbol. You can see the upgrade process using tee command.

[root@linuxhelp1 src]# sh apache-upgrade.sh | tee /var/log/apache_upgrade.log

The update process is now completed, once you refresh the CWP admin, you can see the updated apache version.

After it gets updated, start the Apache web server.

If you are taken to the Apache default index page, your server will be working fine, else a error message will be displayed.
