2N/A APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

2N/A

2N/A Quick Start - Unix

2N/A ------------------

2N/A

2N/A For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or

2N/A http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html

2N/A

2N/A $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX

2N/A $ make

2N/A $ make install

2N/A $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start

2N/A

2N/A NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which

2N/A Apache should be installed. A typical installation

2N/A might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the

2N/A quotes).

2N/A

2N/A * If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will

2N/A be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default,

2N/A as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If

2N/A you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use

2N/A "./configure --enable-threads".

2N/A

2N/A * If you are building on Mac OS X (Darwin), make sure to

2N/A use libtool 1.4.2 or newer.

2N/A

2N/A * If you are a developer building Apache directly from CVS,

2N/A you will need to run ./buildconf before running configure.

2N/A

2N/A For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a

2N/A typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree

2N/A /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two

2N/A additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading

2N/A through the DSO mechanism:

2N/A

2N/A $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \

2N/A ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \

2N/A --enable-rewrite=shared \

2N/A --enable-speling=shared

2N/A

2N/A The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.0

2N/A is to run ./configure --help.

2N/A

2N/A

2N/A Quick Start - Windows

2N/A ---------------------

2N/A

2N/A For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or

2N/A http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html.

2N/A

2N/A The Apache/Win32 binaries are primarily distributed as a Windows Installer

2N/A package (.msi), and may be available as a .zip file as well. These packages

2N/A are named apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.zip.

2N/A Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.

2N/A

2N/A If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.0-xx.zip, without

2N/A any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links

2N/A mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the

2N/A binary package from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ and

2N/A install that .msi (or .zip package, if you must.)

2N/A

2N/A If you have unpacked this binary distribution from the .zip package, you

_must_ edit the conf/httpd.conf file (with notepad or another text editor)

to reflect the correct ServerName, Domain, and directory paths. Search for

the text "@@" to discover what you must edit. To install and start the

service after you have corrected the httpd.conf file, use the command

bin\Apache -k install

bin\Apache -k start

The .msi package configures the httpd.conf file, and installs and starts

the Apache2 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts

and the taskbar ApacheMonitor. We strongly encourage you to use it.

Postscript

----------

The Apache HTTP Server group cannot field user's installation questions.

There are many valuable forums to help you get started. Please refer your

questions to the appropriate forum, such as the Users Mailing List at

http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html or the usenet newsgroups

comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix or

comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows.

Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.0.
