Performance of server
Hi,
In my company's production server, there are already mysql, php and httpd packages installed and running. Configurations are already made to the httpd.conf and my.cnf files.
Now I have to upgrade the packages to the latest version. I have to perform a yum update for the whole system first, then reinstall the packages right?
Will this affect the changes made to the configuration files? If yes, how do I upgrade so that the changes are not affected?

If you installed those packages from the yum repos, then they will be updated as needed, just like all the other software on your system. I don't think Fedora/Redhat will overwrite your .conf files but you need to make copies of these files just for best practices and worse case scenarios.
I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

The packaging tools in Fedora/Redhat do not usually overwrite configuration files which have been edited/customised, but as suggested above, just make backups in case something goes wrong.
