This was covered before at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-April/msg01977.html
I've got several FC3 boxes running the latest and
greatest Apache 2.0.54 , Mysql 4.1.12 and php 4.3.11 .
The trick is to grab the source rpms from an upstream
source and rebuild them.
Only watchout against trying to rebuild openssl as
everything depends on it.
Fedora Core - The power of Open Source Now! Please search the archives and fedoraforum.org as the question is likely to have been asked before.
