I need Apache 2.4 in CentOS because with Apache 2.2 mod_proxy_wstunnel is not possible. I have tried this, but unfortunately its for RHEL. After installing, I can't execute the Apache 2.4.

Can anyone show me how to install a complete working Apache 2.4 in CentOS, please?

  you'll need to run yum install httpd24-httpd how do you install this to replace the Apache 2.2.15 that comes with the distro so I can install the update and use httpd instead of httpd24-httpd with the service start and stop commands?

  The easiest way is to install the SCL version, as described here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/412122/…

You should be able to start the service with # service httpd24-httpd start. Before that you must either stop the original httpd service (apache 2.2) or configure your apache 2.4 to listen on an alternative port (not port 80).

@garethTheRed: how to get ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA? with this its not available as a result you cant use SSLCiperSuite ECHDE.. is there any other repo which has this fixed?

I'm not certain of the details of indivdual repos. If you can't find what you need, you could always compile the correct version for your system. If you don't want to do that on the actual server, you could also consider using the copr build system and use a CentOS 7 rpm source as a starting point.

The repo for me is quite useless. It still contains Apache/2.4.6 from 2013. That's quite disappointing that apache can't maintain its own repository...

Being an older version of apache isn't a problem. The 2.2.15 apache in Centos 6 is from 2010 after all. What is more of a problem is that it isn't updated with bugfixes and security fixes.

How can you tell the version number stored in the repository? I need to get 2.4.28.

Please note that if you are using php, httpd24-httpd works best with rh-php## from the Red Hat Software Collections. I had php installed from the remi repository and it was not working as smoothly together.
