The Apache and PHP builds included with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor are updated with each major version change of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. Occasionally, Apache and/or PHP release security updates that you may need to satisfy your security requirements. In those situations, you will need to manually deploy an updated version of Apache and/or PHP.
Because these newer releases of Apache and PHP have not been tested by the IDERA QA department, no guarantee can be given that they will work completely as expected. However; if issues are experienced, moving back to the original, bundled Apache and PHP is easy enough.
Note: When downloading newer binaries, be sure to choose x64 binaries for Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.1+ installs and x86 binaries for older releases of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.

Steps for upgrading Apache

  1. Get the latest Apache 2.2 binaries for Windows from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/ (http://apache.org for the 32-bit binaries)
  2. Stop the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Web Server service
  3. Rename the <uptime_dir>\apache directory to apache_orig
  4. Unzip the Apache zip file in <uptime_dir> and rename to apache
  5. Copy the contents from the apache_orig\conf directory to the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor apache conf directory (eg: C:\Program Files\uptime software\uptime\apache\conf)
  6. Copy mod_xsendfile.so from the apache_orig\modules directory to the apache\modules directory.
  7. Create tmp directory in uptime\apache directory.
  8. If you are also upgrading PHP, skip to those steps now; otherwise, copy the php directory from apache_orig\ to apache\.
  9. Restart the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Web Server service
