I have a web server running Apache and PHP and SSL which has been running great. But recently, the SSL portion was changed so that now it's running as a virtual host (the SSL portion) with a different URL which points to a specific directory. When this change occurred, an issue started that's very annoying. It happens very infrequently. The issue is that a PHP page will start to load and you will see the output, but before the entire page is outputted to the browser, the page will suddenly change to a "Page cannot be displayed" page. If I refresh the browser and hit retry, the page will be refreshed properly.
I did not personally setup the virtual host, but since these errors are being seen after the change, I'm assuming something in the way the setup was done is affecting this behavior. Does anyone have a clue as to what this might mean or what to start looking for?
Apache, PHP, SSL refresh error

No, there are not. I'm started thinking that the virtual host portion of apache may have a bug (I'm running an old version of Apache) but when I looked through all the release notes of Apache, I can't find a fixed error that specifically relates to this issue. But upgrading can't hurt I guess.
It's just weird that that's the only thing that changed in my setup.

Ok, after much searching, I've found something on this. I think it's just a bug that was hard enough to find that apache has it listed as a bug in 2.0.35 - 2.0.42. So apparently, if I upgrade apache, it should go away.
Since I haven't done this before....do I just download the new apache, backup my conf files and load the new apache and then copy over my old conf files? Is it just that easy?
