== Overview ==

This RFC proposes to upgrade Apache, Tomcat and PHP to the latest versions:

 * Apache: 2.4.10
 * PHP: 5.5.17
 * Tomcat: 7.0.56

== Motivation ==

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]

== Proposed Solution ==

Upgrade Apache to 2.4.10. Windows binaries will be sourced from Apache Lounge

Upgrade PHP to 5.5.17. Windows binaries will be sourced from windows.php.net

Upgrade Tomcat to 7.0.56

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.

== Implications ==

None. These new component updates are all bug fix releases.

== Test Plan ==

Build and run on Windows and Linux. Ensure that components using PHP or Java function as before:

 * The PHP AJAX Viewer
 * The Java AJAX Viewer
 * The PHP backend for Fusion trunk
 * The MapGuide Site Administrator
 * The Feature Source schema report.

Verify all tests pass with the existing MapGuide API PHP test runner.
