| 24 | == Overview == |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This RFC proposes to upgrade Apache, Tomcat and PHP to the latest versions: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * Apache: 2.4.10 |
| 29 | * PHP: 5.5.17 |
| 30 | * Tomcat: 7.0.56 |
| 31 | |
| 32 | == Motivation == |
| 33 | |
| 34 | From a security standpoint, our public-facing web tier components should be regularly kept up to date. New versions of Apache, Tomcat and PHP have been released since the [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc138 previous RFC] |
| 35 | |
| 36 | == Proposed Solution == |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Upgrade Apache to 2.4.10. Windows binaries will be sourced from Apache Lounge |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Upgrade PHP to 5.5.17. Windows binaries will be sourced from windows.php.net |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Upgrade Tomcat to 7.0.56 |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Although Tomcat has a new 8.x series, we are staying on the 7.x series so that our Java installation requirements do not have to change for this release of MapGuide. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | == Implications == |
| 47 | |
| 48 | None. These new component updates are all bug fix releases. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | == Test Plan == |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Build and run on Windows and Linux. Ensure that components using PHP or Java function as before: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * The PHP AJAX Viewer |
| 55 | * The Java AJAX Viewer |
| 56 | * The PHP backend for Fusion trunk |
| 57 | * The MapGuide Site Administrator |
| 58 | * The Feature Source schema report. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Verify all tests pass with the existing MapGuide API PHP test runner. |
