H-Sphere versions:   All

This update also eliminates a security hole by making corrections to httpd.conf.

Requirements

Make sure to have the following packages installed before you start the upgrade:

- hsphere-webmails-1-6 for H-Sphere 2.4.1 and up (or else mail servers will be skipped)
- The latest OpenSSL for all versions of H-Sphere. Install it as per OpenSSL documentation
- The latest zlib update which eliminates potential security vulnerabilities in previous versions.

Custom PHP: If you have custom php modules installed on H-Sphere WEB boxes, don't forget to back them up before upgrading the software. After the upgrade, set them back up and restart the service.

If you are using Zend Optimizer or other optimizers, you will need to upgrade them to new version after upgrading PHP.
