Questions on how to upgrade Apache

[Andy Romens]

Is there something else Cygwin provides that I should use instead of Apache? Sorry for the elementary questions, I’m still quite new to this :)

Thanks,
-Andy

Hi Cygwin (or whoever gets these, I just signed up),

I got a question for you all. I need to update Apache from 2.4.39 to 2.4.46. I have searched far and wide on the web to see if there is a way to do that, but so far nothing has turned up. Any idea on how to do this or if an updated package will get released soon-ish for Apache? Background info, we are running Cygwin on a Windows 2012 Server. Anything else, please let me know and I will investigate.


It looks like the apache package is obsolete and orphaned currently. You will need to compile a version of apache on the cygwin system itself to update to a newer version.
