The following steps can be used to upgrade Apache and PHP for up.time 7.1+. Only minor upgrades are supported, so Apache can be upgrade to 2.2.x (not 2.4) and PHP can be upgraded to 5.4.x (not 5.5+).
-- stop up.time web service
/etc/init.d/uptime_httpd stop
-- back up apache directory
cd /usr/local/uptime
mv apache apache_orig
--download and install re2c (PHP dependency)
cd /tmp
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/re2c/re2c-0.13.5-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh re2c-0.13.5-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
-- install openssl devel package (Apache dependency) and mysql devel package (PHP dependency)
yum install openssl-devel mysql-devel
-- download and install Apache
cd /tmp
wget http://apache.mirror.rafal.ca//httpd/httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
tar xvfz httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.29

cd php-5.4.38
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/uptime/apache --with-apxs2=/usr/local/uptime/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-libdir=lib64
make
make install
-- move up.time Apache config files into new Apache directory
cd /usr/local/uptime
mv apache/conf apache/conf_orig
cp -R apache_orig/conf apache
-- create tmp directory and set file ownerships
mkdir apache/tmp
chown -R uptime:uptime apache

./pear install MDB2
./pear install pear/MDB2#mysql
