Hi list,
I just wanted to update to the newest mod_php4 on a SuSE eMail Server II with apache-1.3.19-115 installed.
You can find mod_php4 packages for eMail Server II here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/products/emailserver/2.0/mod_php4/
The problem with this package is that it's timestamp is 5.8.2002 13:19 so I am afraid this is NOT the newest (and supposedly secured) version. What worries me even more is that for instance the mod_ssl rpm package in this directory is also dated 5.8.2002 13:19 so I find it hard to believe this is as up to date as ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/sec1/mod_ssl-2.8.2-41.i386.rpm which is dated 17.9.2002 10:13. But maybe I am wrong?
rpm -Fhv --test mod_php4-4.0.4pl1-135.i386.rpm
gives:
apache_mmn_19990320_10 is needed by mod_php4-4.0.4pl1-135
I have never heard about this, any hints on what to do before I start searching the whole SuSE ftp site?
This apache_mmn is provided by apache RPMs so that one can tell by the RPM dependencies which modules match which apache packages. However this is not the case with eMail Server II. Most of the others of our products (or even all?) have this since a couple of months.
I have installed the regular apache (apache-1.3.19-115) i.e. the one for SuSE 7.0 on this system a while ago and the same is true for mod_*. The reason was that I could never find updated packages for eMail Server II. And since it works fine for me, doesn't break the Horde interface for the IMAP server either I figured why not use the regual 7.0 packages. I have never seen any dependancy failures either. Maybe this is a total no-no but in a production environment I do not want to rely on insecure or not up to date packages. Perhaps someone can clarify things as I feel a little insecure now whether I did the right thing or not.
