1N/A APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1N/A $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
1N/A NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which
1N/A Apache should be installed. A typical installation
1N/A * Consider if you want to use a previously installed APR and
1N/A APR-Util (such as those provided with many OSes) or if
1N/A you need to use the APR and APR-Util from the
1N/A --with-included-apr option. This is required if you don't
1N/A have the compiler which the system APR was built with. It
1N/A can also be advantageous if you are a developer who will be
1N/A linking your code with Apache or using a debugger to step
1N/A through server code, as it removes the possibility of
1N/A version or compile-option mismatches with APR and APR-util
1N/A * If you are a developer building Apache directly from
1N/A Subversion, you will need to run ./buildconf before running
1N/A configure. This script bootstraps the build environment and
1N/A requires Python as well as GNU autoconf and libtool. If you
1N/A build Apache from a release tarball, you don't have to run
1N/A * If you want to build a threaded MPM (for instance worker)
1N/A on FreeBSD, be aware that threads do not work well with
1N/A Apache on FreeBSD versions before 5.4-RELEASE. If you wish
1N/A to try a threaded Apache on an earlier version of FreeBSD,
1N/A use the --enable-threads parameter to ./configure in
1N/A addition to the --with-mpm parameter.
1N/A * If you are building directly from Subversion on Mac OS X
1N/A (Darwin), make sure to use GNU Libtool 1.4.2 or newer. All
1N/A recent versions of the developer tools on this platform
1N/A include a sufficiently recent version of GNU Libtool (named
1N/A glibtool, but buildconf knows where to find it).
1N/A For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a
1N/A typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree
1N/A additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading
1N/A through the DSO mechanism:
1N/A $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \
1N/A --enable-rewrite=shared \
1N/A --enable-speling=shared
1N/A The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.5
1N/A is to run ./configure --help.
1N/A Quick Start - Windows
1N/A ---------------------
1N/A mod_ssl plus the openssl library and command line utility. These packages
1N/A may be unpacked without "installing" them by using the msiexec /a option.
1N/A any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links
1N/A mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the
1N/A install the desired .msi package.
1N/A The .msi package configures the
httpd.conf file, and installs and starts
1N/A the Apache2.4 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts
1N/A and the taskbar ApacheMonitor. We strongly encourage you to use it.
1N/A The Apache HTTP Server group cannot field user's installation questions.
1N/A There are many valuable forums to help you get started. Please refer your
1N/A questions to the appropriate forum, such as the Users Mailing List at
1N/A Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.5.
