Overview
This RFC proposes to upgrade Apache, Tomcat and PHP to the latest versions. Until now the latest version for above components are:
- Apache: 2.2.21
- Tomcat: 7.0.21
- PHP: 5.3.8
Motivation
Many security issues and functional defects have been fixed for these components in the latest versions. And it's a good thing if we could upgrade the components in time to avoid risks of upgrading between major releases which might introduce too many changes.
