DBD Driver
The MySQL DBD driver has been dual-licensed and the related licensing issues have been resolved.
The resulting apr-util-mysql package is now included in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 software
repositories.
4.9. PostgreSQL
New Release
This release includes an updated version of PostgreSQL. For more information, refer to http://
wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/WhatsNew84.
Upgrading Databases
Before upgrading an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system with a PostgreSQL database, it could
be necessary to follow the procedure described here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/
install-upgrading.html. Otherwise the data may be not accessible by the new version of PostgreSQL,
due to changes in the data format.
4.10. Drupal
Drupal has been updated from the 5.x series to 6.x. For details, refer to: http://drupal.org/ Remember
to log in to your site as the admin user, and disable any third-party modules before upgrading this
package. After upgrading the package:
• Copy /etc/drupal/default/settings.php.rpmsave to /etc/drupal/default/
settings.php, and repeat for any additional sites' settings.php files.
• To run the upgrade script, browse to its location using the web interface of your installed host. For
example, http://hostname.example.com/drupal/update.php.
4.11. Squid
Squid has been updated to 3.1, and now provides native IPv6 support. The configuration file /etc/
squid/squid.conf has been significantly shortened; the configuration options for Squid 3.1 have
changed and are not entirely backwards compatible with some older versions. For complete details
on configuration and other changes, please refer to the Squid 3.1 release notes: http://www.squid-
cache.org/Versions/v3/3.1/RELEASENOTES.html.
Squid provides the ability to authenticate users via ncsa_auth and pam_auth helpers. The permissions
of these helpers has changed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Previous releases enabled the setuid flag
for the ncsa_auth and pam_auth, as elevated privileges were needed to access system files needed
for authentication. Now, in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Squid does not require the setting of the setuid
flag for these helpers. This change has been made because of the security risks present when running
setuid flags. Normal functionality has been maintained without setting these flags.
