I got an email today from the reliable Apache announcement mailing list that a new version was released today. I’ve downloaded version 2.2.11 and compiled it right away on my test machine. I could not find a problem with this new version on my test mini. therefore I even tried it on my production server to see if that would work properly and it did.
This version is a bugfix release and not a security problem in sight so only upgrade if you want to. Read all about the changes in the 2.2.11 changelog.
If you’ve forgotten how to upgrade your Apache installation in the least painfull way with a possibility to go back if something goes wrong: Upgrading Apache

I just downloaded this version and tried to build on my test server PowerPC running 10.4.11. Ran into similar errors as others have posted elsewhere. Following their instructions did the following steps:
Downloaded apr-1.3.3 & apr-util-1.3.4 from the Apache website even though it appears these are included in this distribution by the Changelog files.
Uncompressed files in /http-2.2.11/srclib/ folder which is where the included files are located.
Change to my user:group permissions:
sudo chown -R admin:staff apr-1.3.3
sudo chown -R admin:staff apr-1.3.4
cd apr-1.3.3 folder
CFLAGS=

I added:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/apr/lib lib
to my apache2 folder and now everything seems to work.

Markis, do you need ldap support in Apache? This module is rarely used for authentication. If you don’t use it you’ll be fine.

Hi Richard,
I believe I need both ldap and authnz-ldap so I can use secure WebDav, unless you know of a way to use MySQL with WebDav.
Thanks,
