SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to patch an Apache Web Server by running the Change_server.sh script, the patch fails with the following error messages:

cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/apache/sbin/httpd': Text file busy

ERROR: Unable to copy /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/apache-fp/_vti_bin/fpexe to /usr/local/apache/sbin/httpd

ERROR: Unable to upgrade Apache daemon!

Exiting due to an error! Please fix the error and try again.

Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program

Note: In the error messages above, the location of your httpd daemon may be different than the example and your errors may vary. This problem occurs in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions version 4.0.2.2717.



CAUSE
When you run the Change_server.sh script, a stock httpd daemon replaces your existing httpd daemon. If your Web server is running when you run the Change_server.sh script, the patch cannot overwrite the existing daemon and the errors listed above occur.



WORKAROUND
To patch the server using the Change_server.sh script, stop the existing server before running the script.



MORE INFORMATION
