Hi,
Does anyone knows how to upgrade apache for scalix server. It is seems like version distributed with 11.4.5 is 2.2.3 and I need last version of apache 2.2.10.

Scalix does not include apache. If an updated version of apache is provided by your distro (assuming you are running a supported distro and version) then you could update, otherwise I would not try it.

Agreed. I would recommend you stick with the distribution's native version, otherwise you are going to run into serious issues along the way when you update your packages. RH, for example, have lower version numbers, but all the security fixes are backported, so your "vulnerable" apache is normally patched against such. If you install a manual package you have to keep up to date yourself, and all the configurations will have to be applied manually.
Anyway, I rarely believe the "latest and greatest" or "bleeding edge" is the ideal setup for a server. I'd rather take slightly older packages that are stable and well-supported.
