Apache upgrade from 2.4.6 to 2.4.29

Currently, we are planning to upgrade our complete web-server node in production. Platform is RHEL 7.1 and currently apache 2.4.6 is running there.

I also got to know from red-hat that apache 2.4.6 is directly shipped with RHEL7 and for 2.4.26 or 2.4.29, they can't comment regarding it's technical feasibility part along with it's stability on RHEL platform.

I have few concerns now :

  1. Is going ahead with apache 2.4.26 or 2.4.29 in production would be a good option or should i get stuck with the current one ? I am doubtful whether 2.4.26 or 2.4.29 are been tested on RHEL 7 series and is technically compatible.

  2. I tried to install apache 2.4.26 and 2.4.29 on my test-bed first ( which is a RHEL 7.4 platform ) and i came across package dependency issues which proved out to be a blocker for me. I am afraid that i might face these issues on production as well which would be very dangerous. Have you ever faced this on your system too ?

Looking out for your kind support and feedback here ... !!!

Best Regards,

looking at : httpd direct rpm download

it seems that the last supported version is httpd-2.4.6-80.el7.x86_64.rpm

so do not try update your production environment with unsupported software, stick to releases !

upgrading to RHEL7.4 seems to be trouble-maker (as far as i heard : [source required !] )

i got no feedback about RHEL7.5
