You can't patch a running server - you have to edit the faulty file, recompile, stop apache, install the new binary, start apache.
Rather than patching, I did a complete upgrade to the latest source (1.3.26). Did you keep notes when you compiled the last time? If yes, just follow the same process but with the new apache version. If no,... oh dear....
If you do have to work it all out again, keep a note of exactly every command you type when compiling/installing. Then when you need to upgrade again, it will be a breeze. If you like, I can send you my notes from this (although I don't have PHP or mySQL but I do use mod_perl) or check out Luc de Louw's guide on http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Apache-Compile-HOWTO/Apache-Compile-HOWTO.pdf.
Rgds,

I would say, compile the whole source code.
There's never an easy way out, one must make do with the ones that are at
hand :-)

Hi Owen,
Thanks for your comments... I appreciate your speedy response.
If it is no hassle, I would love to have your notes as an additional
reference point.
Can I ask you to elaborate a little on the recompile process? Do I have
to completely recompile Apache's source code with the fixed file or can
I simply recompile that particular file? Now I actually use my gray
matter, I think that may have been a stupid question. Anyhow, the
proposition still stands - can I compile a single file?
Thanks,
Phillip Blake
