     I always forget when I set up a new machine that I need to configure yum-cron, not just install it

     instructions I was using didn't have openssl-devel as a dependency.

     I guess strictly speaking, earlier I was configuring...and now I am compiling. Assuming this works, I will be running 'sudo make install'

     If you're on Fedora, there used to be something (I think it was called "alien") that could take the installation source and turn it into an rpm, so that it would be updatable / removable with the package manager (yum). If I was going to be installing and removing a lot of things on Fedora, I would look into that or one of the Snap / Flatpack things, to keep from polluting the s…

     in this case, the issue was needing to install openssl-devel. That just wasn't in the instructions. I guess the idea is to do all of the apache installs from source and then just change symlinks as necessary. To me, all of these version changes are a perfect use case for docker containers but Vince is old school. The reality is, I need to have a good understanding of all three…

     @musicman Oh, wow! I remember learning to install #Apache and #PHP from source 20+ years ago. Can't remember whether we actually compiled #MySQL or just extracted a precompiled tarball. On pre-RHEL #Red_Hat Linux and #FreeBSD.

     Was fun, but upgrading could be tricky.

     yeah, I won't be "upgrading". I will just be installing a new version beside the old version. Then, I point the symlink to the new version. But I won't always be installing the new version. I might be installing really old versions. Officially, we support two versions back, but I have no idea what that means with Apache. We all of these applications going to short release cycle…
