[SLE] application problem with Yast
Hello all. I posted this with a different subject earlier, but it was confusing, so I'm reposting. I have SLES 8 running on a web server. SLES 8 shipped with Apache 1.x. A third party vendor required Apache 2 to run their web services, and installed Apache 2 on the box. The problem is, they didn't use yast, I don't really know what they did, but only apache shows up in the installed apps. Not that big a deal until recently when updates were run, Yast2 updated the apache install, and rewrote the init to load apache at bootup rather than Apache 2. Here is my question. How can I get apache 2 into the installed apps listed so it will be updated with yast rather than apache and get apache 2 loaded at bootup. In /etc/init.d there is an apache script, an apache1.3 script, but nothing for apache 2.

Apache2 seems to be installed using source tar.gz or something else but may not be an rpm. I suppose only rpm packages installed will be accounted. If this is the case(I am not really sure) upgrade the apache 1.3 through an rpm package, it might work. -- CHAITANYA CHALASANI LINUX USER #410931 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I believe the SLES8 Apache 1.3 package name would have to be specified in the upgrades section of the Apache 2 rpm spec file for an upgrade to work. It would be possible to create your own rpm package from the Apache 2 source and install that. You may also be able to find an SLES8 compatible rpm package on once of the rpm archives such as http://rpmfind.net. If you do not need Apache 1.3 your best bet would be to uninstall apache 1.3 through yast and reinstall Apache 2. That way there will be no file conflicts when doing automatic updates.
