Details

The Apache HTTP server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and
freely-available Web server.

An enhanced version of the Apache HTTP server is available for iSeries and
pSeries systems. This release increases the maximum value of the MaxClients
configuration parameter to 2048. This value represents the maximum number
of child processes the httpd daemon will start.

All users of Apache on iSeries and pSeries systems are urged to upgrade to
these updated packages.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
