Hi. I'm in the process of migrating apache from RH9 to FC5. Its a cgi-perl driven website. Also has ssl certs. Here is how I would go about it.
1. Copy the entire document root to the new box. 2. Copy /etc/conf directory to the new box. 3. Copy the ssl certs.
Am I missing something? I know its simple, but like to have inputs from people who have done it. I'm going to format the old box before installing the new OS, so I have to be absolutely sure.
Regards, NMK.

arggh - this is no way to develop anything. First set up a repository - preferably something modern like subversion. Next commit everything to the repository and then do the appropriate checkouts in the new box. Incidently your conf would differ as RH9 would have had apache1 and fc5 will have apache2. Further, I hope you are keeping your document root and your cgi directory on your home directory and not in /var/www

I did notice that. The conf files are more or less the same. Some extra load_module directives exist in apache2.

No. Its in /var/www. Thats the way it is on the old box.
