Abstract

These release notes contain important information related to the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57.

Preface

Welcome to the Red Hat JBoss Core Services version 2.4.57 release.

Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server is an open source web server developed by the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache HTTP Server includes the following features:

  • Implements the current HTTP standards, including HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
  • Supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption through OpenSSL, which provides secure connections between the web server and web clients.
  • Supports extensible functionality through the use of modules, some of which are included with the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. New features and enhancements

Red Hat JBoss Core Services 2.4.57 does not include any new features or enhancements.

You can install the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the following sections of the installation guide:

The steps to upgrade to the latest Red Hat JBoss Core Services (JBCS) release differ depending on whether you previously installed JBCS from RPM packages or from an archive file.

Upgrading JBCS when installed from RPM packages

If you installed an earlier release of the JBCS Apache HTTP Server from RPM packages on RHEL 7 or RHEL 8 by using the yum groupinstall command, you can upgrade to the latest release. You can use the yum groupupdate command to upgrade to the 2.4.57 release on RHEL 7 or RHEL 8.

Note

JBCS does not provide an RPM distribution of the Apache HTTP Server on RHEL 9.

Upgrading JBCS when installed from an archive file

If you installed an earlier release of the JBCS Apache HTTP Server from an archive file, you must perform the following steps to upgrade to the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57:

  1. Install the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57.
  2. Set up the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57.
  3. Remove the earlier version of Apache HTTP Server.

The following procedure describes the recommended steps for upgrading a JBCS Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 release that you installed from archive files to the latest 2.4.57 release.

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you have root user access.
  • If you are using Windows Server, you have administrative access.
  • The Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 or earlier was previously installed in your system from an archive file.

Procedure

  1. Shut down any running instances of Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51.
  2. Back up the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 installation and configuration files.
  3. Install the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.57 using the .zip installation method for the current system (see Additional Resources below).
  4. Migrate your configuration from the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.51 to version 2.4.57.

    Note

    The Apache HTTP Server configuration files might have changed since the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 release. Consider updating the 2.4.57 version configuration files rather than overwrite them with the configuration files from a different version, such as the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51.

  5. Remove the Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 root directory.
