0N/A APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

0N/A

0N/A Quick Start - Unix

0N/A ------------------

0N/A

0N/A For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or

0N/A http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/install.html

0N/A

0N/A $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX

0N/A $ make

0N/A $ make install

0N/A $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start

0N/A

0N/A NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which

0N/A Apache should be installed. A typical installation

0N/A might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the

0N/A quotes).

0N/A

0N/A * Read the section "APR - Unix" below.

0N/A

0N/A * If you are a developer building Apache directly from

0N/A Subversion, you will need to run ./buildconf before running

0N/A configure. This script bootstraps the build environment and

0N/A requires Python as well as GNU autoconf and libtool. If you

0N/A build Apache from a release tarball, you don't have to run

0N/A buildconf.

0N/A

0N/A * If you want to build a threaded MPM (for instance worker)

0N/A on FreeBSD, be aware that threads do not work well with

0N/A Apache on FreeBSD versions before 5.4-RELEASE. If you wish

0N/A to try a threaded Apache on an earlier version of FreeBSD,

0N/A use the --enable-threads parameter to ./configure in

0N/A addition to the --with-mpm parameter.

0N/A

0N/A * If you are building directly from Subversion on Mac OS X

0N/A (Darwin), make sure to use GNU Libtool 1.4.2 or newer. All

0N/A recent versions of the developer tools on this platform

0N/A include a sufficiently recent version of GNU Libtool (named

0N/A glibtool, but buildconf knows where to find it).

0N/A

0N/A For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a

0N/A typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree

0N/A /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two

0N/A additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading

0N/A through the DSO mechanism:

0N/A

0N/A $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \

0N/A ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \

0N/A --enable-rewrite=shared \

0N/A --enable-speling=shared

0N/A

The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.5

is to run ./configure --help.

APR - Unix

----------

httpd trunk (httpd development version 2.5) can use APR trunk (future

APR version 2.0) or the combination of the current APR 1.x branch and

the current APR-util 1.x branch. (APR trunk bundles the features in

APR-util 1.x.)

The httpd buildconf step, required when building httpd from Subversion,

must have access to the APR source. The httpd configure step, always

required, can configure the APR source in srclib or use a previously-

built APR.

APR (and APR-util if using APR 1.x) can be built with httpd from httpd's

srclib directory or can be built separately, prior to building httpd.

Building APR with httpd from httpd's srclib directory is required if

you don't have the compiler which the system APR was built with, and it

can also be advantageous if you are a developer who will be linking your

code with httpd or using a debugger to step through server code, as it

removes the possibility of version or compile-option mismatches with

APR and APR-util code.

To use APR trunk in srclib:

Check out APR trunk in srclib/apr with the following command:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk srclib/apr

buildconf will find it automatically. Use the --with-included-apr

argument to httpd configure.

To use APR 1.x and APR-util 1.x in srclib:

Check out the current branches as srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util with

the following commands:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.5.x srclib/apr

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.5.x srclib/apr-util

buildconf will find them automatically. Use the --with-included-apr

argument to httpd configure.

To use existing checkouts of APR (and APR-util if using APR 1.x):

httpd buildconf must have access to the source trees. Use these arguments

to httpd buildconf:

--with-apr=[path to apr source] --with-apr-util=[path to apr-util source]

(Omit --with-apr-util if using APR trunk.)

httpd configure must have access to a previously build apr. Use these

arguments to httpd configure:

--with-apr=[path to apr install] --with-apr-util=[path to apr-util install]

(Omit --with-apr-util if using APR trunk.)

Quick Start - Windows

---------------------

For complete documentation, see manual/platform/windows.html.en or

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/platform/windows.html.

The Apache/Win32 binaries are distributed as Windows Installer packages

(.msi) named httpd-2.5.xx-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi for a version without mod_ssl

and httpd-2.5.xx-win32-x86-openssl-1.0.1x.msi for a version including the

mod_ssl plus the openssl library and command line utility. Additional 64 bit

binaries have similarly named -win64-x64 package names. These packages

may be unpacked without "installing" them by using the msiexec /a option.

If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.5.x-win32-src.zip,

without any -x86 or -x64 notation) you must compile the package yourself,

see the links mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look

again for an .msi package in http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

and install that desired .msi package.

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

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

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