Download Apache 2.0.54

The Apache HTTP Server Project development team recently released a new version of their Apache HTTP Server. This allows you to set up a very solid web server that has support for PHP and MySQL, among others. The version number has arrived at 2.0.54 and has some important changes as can be read in the changelog:

The Apache Software Foundation and the The Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.54 of the Apache HTTP Server (“Apache”). This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release and is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later versions. We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

Changes with Apache 2.0.54:

• mod_cache: Add CacheIgnoreHeaders directive. PR 30399.
• mod_ldap: Added the directive LDAPConnectionTimeout to configure the ldap socket connection timeout value.
• Correctly export all mod_dav public functions.
• Add a build script to create a solaris package.
• worker MPM: Fix a problem which could cause httpd processes to remain active after shutdown.
• Unix MPMs: Shut down the server more quickly when child processes are slow to exit.
• Remove formatting characters from ap_log_error() calls. These were escaped as fallout from CAN-2003-0020.
• mod_ssl: If SSLUsername is used, set r->user earlier. PR 31418.
• htdigest: Fix permissions of created files. PR 33765.
• core_input_filter: Move buckets to a persistent brigade instead of creating a new brigade. This stop a memory leak when proxying a Streaming Media Server. PR 33382.
• mod_win32: Ignore both PATH_INFO as well as PATH_TRANSLATED to avoid hiccups from additional path information passed in non-utf-8 format.
