There are several key reasons why you should regularly update Apache server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Security<\/strong> &#8211; Most updates include security updates and patches that fix vulnerabilities found in older versions of Apache server. When new threats are discovered, they are fixed pre-emptively in newer versions. If you simply keep your Apache server up-to-date, you can easily avail all these fixes, without much effort. These security updates protect your website from common attacks such as DDOS (Distributed denial of service) and XSS (Cross site scripting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Performance &amp; Efficiency<\/strong> &#8211; Newer Apache versions are more optimized to work faster with lesser resource consumption. It means being able handle more requests, with lesser memory requirement. It may also use newer algorithms to compress response data or use a completely new paradigm such as parallel processing help boost your site performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These updates also improve one or more Apache modules such as those for Python, Perl, PHP, etc. It also improves efficiency of common tasks such as user authentication and content delivery. In fact, it may even save money on hardware upgrades by running better on existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. New Features<\/strong> &#8211; Software updates almost always include one or more new features that were not present in older versions. It may include advanced authentication, URL processing, data compression, etc. It may also provide better compatibility with other software such as PHP, Python &amp; Perl. It may also include support for new modules and libraries that were hitherto unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Bug Fixes<\/strong> &#8211; Every software update includes a set of bug fixes discovered in older versions, making it stable. Also, newer versions are more popular in online forums and user communities making it easy to find answers to common problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Upgrade_Apache_Server_in_CentOS_Redhat_Linux\"><\/span>How to Upgrade Apache Server in CentOS, Redhat &amp; Linux<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the setps to upgrade Apache server in CentOS\/Redhat Linux. Let us look at them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Backup_configuration_and_data\"><\/span>1. Backup configuration and data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to create a backup of Apache configuration files and website data. You can do that with the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cp -r \/etc\/httpd \/root\/httpd_backup<br>cp -r \/var\/www \/root\/www_backup<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stop_Apache_Server\"><\/span>2. Stop Apache Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, stop Apache service to prevent any conflict during upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl stop httpd<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Update_System_Packages\"><\/span>3. Update System Packages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the following command to update your system packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum update<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Upgrade_Apache_Server\"><\/span>4. Upgrade Apache Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to upgrade Apache server. Let us look at them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"41_Upgrade_Within_Same_Major_Version\"><\/span>4.1. Upgrade Within Same Major Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are already using Apache 2.4 and want to upgrade to a newer minor version (e.g., 2.4.1 to 2.4.27) then you can do so by simply updating your system packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum update<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This would have happened in the previous step itself. In this case, Apache will updated to the latest minor version of same major version but not further. For example, if you are on Apache 2.2.1 and want to go to Apache 2.4.27 then this step will only update Apache till 2.2.34, the last stable version of Apache 2.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restart Apache service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl restart httpd.service<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"42_Upgrade_to_New_Major_Version\"><\/span>4.2. Upgrade to New Major Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This solution will help you upgrade Apache to a completely new major version, such as from 2.2 to 2.4. For this, install Software Collections (SCL) repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum install centos-release-scl<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, install Apache 2.4 from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum install httpd24<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you can start and enable Apache 2.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl enable httpd24-httpd.service<br>systemctl start httpd24-httpd.service<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Update_Configuration_Files\"><\/span>5. Update Configuration Files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to copy back the backup configuration files and data. Make sure to resolve any conflicts in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cp -r \/root\/httpd_backup \/etc\/httpd<br>cp -r \/root\/www_backup \/var\/www<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Install_Required_Modules\"><\/span>6. Install Required Modules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your previous Apache version used any modules, they may not be available for your new Apache version. So you need to re-install them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum install httpd24-mod_ssl<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Restart Apache Server to apply changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start httpd   <\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Verify_Apache_Version\"><\/span>7. Verify Apache Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the following command to get the version of Apache running on your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">httpd -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/upgrade-apache-version-ubuntu\/\">upgrade Apache server in Ubuntu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Points\"><\/span>Key Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things to keep in mind while updating Apache server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Backup<\/strong> &#8211; Before you upgrade or update Apache server, make sure you have created a backup of its configuration file, located at one of these  -\/etc\/apache2\/httpd.conf, \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf, \/etc\/httpd\/httpd.conf, and \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf. Also backup your website data. This will help you recover in case something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Dependencies<\/strong> &#8211; Major upgrades need you to update Apache configuration file. Make sure that all its dependencies are met before you update Apache server. Also, if you use virtual hosts, then ensure that it is compatible with latest Apache version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Test<\/strong> &#8211; It goes without saying that no matter what changes you make to Apache, make sure to test them first before releasing them. In other words, perform the updates in a development or staging environment, before pushing it to production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we have learnt a couple of different ways to update\/upgrade Apache server.
