[users@httpd] apache 2.0.43 mod_perl install

[Daniel Rousseau <da...@sbcglobal.net>]

I have Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 currently installed, and I just
downloaded perl 5.8 win32 binary.  I extracted the files to another
directory other than my current server directory.  How do I install the
new Apache 2.0.43 that I just downloaded, over my current version of
Apache WITHOUT overwriting my configuration files, my scripts, and my
html and other files currently used by my server now?  Is there any
extra steps involved or can I just overwrite the Apache executable?
 
Thank you,
Daniel Rousseau

Copy the files to a safe location and overwrite them with the new ones, of
course that the conf files should be the same or you can modify the default
conf files with the backup copy you've made, after that try the results.

 

No other choice that I know of, I'm doing that all the time.

 

All the best,
