Hi all, On my Dedicated Server I want to update my SSL library for prevention of the "HeartBleed" bug but I have no idea how to do it. I have a self managed server from my host, I have asked them how to do the update, they responded with: 1. info on the [url=http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/]Test your server for Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160) 2. Test for the vulnerability here: [url=http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#www.afrihost.com]Test your server for Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160) 3. update openssl like so: yum update openssl* or apt-get upgrade openssl* 4. Restart httpd and restart. so as I sit in front of the WHM screen, I have no idea how to proceed, I do understand that its command lines I need to run I do know of Putty a Shell Command program for windows, I think I need to run the command lines by this program, but I am not sure if I should. Can someone please explain to a noob how to do this Shell Command update procedure? All the best- Lloyd
