5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Introduction

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding ============

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Apache 2.0's configuration and installation environment has changed

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding completely from Apache 1.3. Apache 1.3 used a custom set of scripts

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding to achieve easy installation. Apache 2.0 now uses libtool and autoconf

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding to create an environment that looks like many other Open Source projects.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 1. Overview for the impatient

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding --------------------------

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ ./buildconf

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ make

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ make install

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding NOTE: PREFIX is not the string "PREFIX". Instead use the Unix

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding filesystem path under which Apache should be installed. For

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding instance use "/usr/local/apache" for PREFIX above.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 2. Requirements

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding ------------

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding The following requirements exist for building Apache:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Disk Space:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Make sure you have approximately 12 MB of temporary free disk space

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding available. After installation Apache occupies approximately 5 MB of

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding disk space (the actual required disk space depends on the amount of

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding compiled in third party modules, etc).

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o ANSI-C Compiler:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Make sure you have an ANSI-C compiler installed. The GNU C compiler

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding (GCC) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is recommended (version

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 2.7.2 is fine). If you don't have GCC then at least make sure your

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding vendors compiler is ANSI compliant. You can find the homepage of GNU

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding at http://www.gnu.org/ and the GCC distribution under

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html .

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Libtool 1.3.3:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Make sure that you have libtool 1.3.3 or later installed before

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding trying to configure and build Apache 2.0. Libtool can be downloaded

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), at

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Autoconf 2.13:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Make sure that you have autoconf 2.13 or later installed before

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding trying to configure and build Apache 2.0. Autoconf can be

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding downloaded from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), at

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Perl 5 Interpreter [OPTIONAL]:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding For some of the support scripts like `apxs' or `dbmmanage' (which are

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions 5.003

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding and 5.004 are fine). If no such interpreter is found by APACI's

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding `configure' script this is no harm. Of course, you still can build

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding and install Apache 1.3. Only those support scripts cannot be used. If

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding you have multiple Perl interpreters installed (perhaps a Perl 4 from

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding the vendor and a Perl 5 from your own), then it is recommended to use

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding the --with-perl option (see below) to make sure the correct one is

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding selected by APACI.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support [OPTIONAL]:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding To provide maximum flexibility Apache now is able to load modules

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding under runtime via the DSO mechanism by using the pragmatic

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding dlopen()/dlsym() system calls. These system calls are not available

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding under all operating systems therefore you cannot use the DSO mechanism

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding on all platforms. And Apache currently has only limited built-in

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding knowledge on how to compile shared objects because this is heavily

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding platform-dependent. The current state is this:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Out-of-the-box supported platforms are (Not all of these will

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding work currently. DSO support is currently available on most

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding of these platforms however):

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - Linux - SunOS - UnixWare - Darwin/Mac OS

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - FreeBSD - Solaris - AIX - OpenStep/Mach

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - OpenBSD - IRIX - SCO - DYNIX/ptx

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - NetBSD - HPUX - ReliantUNIX

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - BSDI - Digital Unix - DGUX

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding o Entirely unsupported platforms are:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding - Ultrix

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding If your system is not on these lists but has the dlopen-style

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding interface, you either have to provide the appropriate compiler and

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding linker flags (see CFLAGS_SHLIB, LDFLAGS_SHLIB and LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding below) manually or at least make sure a Perl 5 interpreter is

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding installed from which Apache can guess the options.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 3. Configuring the source tree

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding ---------------------------

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Setup:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding The first step in compiling Apache 2.0 is to setup the source tree so

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding that it can be built. This is done by running:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding ./buildconf

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding This script ensures that all required programs are installed on the

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding currently machine, and creates the ./configure script. If you are

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding using a package downloaded from apache.org then this step is not

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding necessary.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Introduction:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding The next step is to configure the Apache source tree for your particular

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding platform and personal requirements. The most important setup here is the

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding location prefix where Apache is to be installed later, because Apache has

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding to be configured for this location to work correctly. But there are a lot

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding of other options available for your pleasure.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a typical

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding example which compiles Apache for the installation tree /sw/pkg/apache

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding with a particular compiler and flags plus the two additional modules

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading through the DSO mechanism:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding $ CC="pgcc" OPTIM="-O2" \

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding --enable-rewrite=shared \

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding --enable-speling=shared

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.0

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding is to run ./configure --help. What follows is a brief description of

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding most of the arguments.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding the paths for particular subdirectories of the installation tree.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Defaults are bindir=EPREFIX/bin, sbindir=EPREFIX/sbin,

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding libexecdir=EPREFIX/libexec, mandir=PREFIX/man, sysconfdir=PREFIX/etc,

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding datadir=PREFIX/share, includedir=PREFIX/include,

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding localstatedir=PREFIX/var, runtimedir=PREFIX/var/run,

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding logfiledir=PREFIX/var/log and proxycachedir=PREFIX/var/proxy.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Note: To reduce the pollution of shared installation locations

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding (like /usr/local/ or /etc) with Apache files to a minimum the

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding string ``/apache'' is automatically appended to 'libexecdir',

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 'sysconfdir', 'datadir', 'localstatedir' and 'includedir' if

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding (and only if) the following points apply for each path

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding individually:

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 1. the path doesn't already contain the word ``apache''

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 2. the path was not directly customized by the user

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Keep in mind that per default these paths are derived from

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding 'prefix' and 'exec-prefix', so usually its only a matter

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding whether these paths contain ``apache'' or not. Although the

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding defaults were defined with experience in mind you always should

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding make sure the paths fit your situation by checking the finally

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding chosen paths via the --layout option.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Use the --with-layout=[F:]ID option to select a particular installation

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding path base-layout. You always _HAVE_ to select a base-layout. There are

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding currently two layouts pre-defined in the file config.layout: `Apache' for

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding the classical Apache path layout and `GNU' for a path layout conforming

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding to the GNU `standards' document. When you want to use your own custom

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding layout FOO, either add a corresponding "<Layout FOO>...</Layout>" section

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding to config.layout and use --with-layout=FOO or place it into your own

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding file, say config.mypaths, and use --with-layout=config.mypaths:FOO.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Use the --show-layout option to check the final installation path layout

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding while fiddling with the options above.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Use the --enable-rule=NAME and --disable-rule=NAME options to enable or

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding disable a particular Rule from the Apache src/Configuration.tmpl file. The

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding defaults (yes=enabled, no=disabled) can either be seen when running

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding `./configure --help' or manually looked up in the src/Configuration.tmpl

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding file.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Use the --enable-NAME=(shared) and --disable-NAME options to enable

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding or disable a particular already distributed module from the Apache

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding package.

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding Use the --with-mpm=NAME option to determine which MPM should be built

5beae861ede7eba138c7140f195ae77ba3106cbffielding for your server.

(+) = enabled per default [disable with --disable-module]

(-) = disabled per default [enable with --enable-module ]

Use the --enable-suexec option to enable the suEXEC feature by building

and installing the "suexec" support program. Use --suexec-caller=UID to

set the allowed caller user id, --suexec-userdir=DIR to set the user

subdirectory, --suexec-docroot=DIR to set the suexec root directory,

--suexec-uidmin=UID/--suexec-gidmin=GID to set the minimal allowed

UID/GID, --suexec-logfile=FILE to set the logfile and

--suexec-safepath=PATH to set the safe shell PATH for the suEXEC

feature. At least one --suexec-xxxxx option has to be provided together

with the --enable-suexec option to let APACI accept your request for

using the suEXEC feature.

CAUTION: FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE SUEXEC FEATURE WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO

FIRST READ THE DOCUMENT htdocs/manual/suexec.html BEFORE USING

THE ABOVE OPTIONS.

USING THE SUEXEC FEATURE PROPERLY CAN REDUCE CONSIDERABLY THE

SECURITY RISKS INVOLVED WITH ALLOWING USERS TO DEVELOP AND RUN

PRIVATE CGI OR SSI PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, IF SUEXEC IS IMPROPERLY

CONFIGURED, IT CAN CAUSE ANY NUMBER OF PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLY

CREATE NEW HOLES IN YOUR COMPUTER'S SECURITY. IF YOU AREN'T

FAMILIAR WITH MANAGING SETUID ROOT PROGRAMS AND THE SECURITY

ISSUES THEY PRESENT, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT CONSIDER

USING SUEXEC AND KEEP AWAY FROM THESE OPTIONS!

Use the --shadow option to let APACI create a shadow source tree of the

sources for building. This is useful when you want to build for different

platforms in parallel (usually through a NFS, AFS or DFS mounted

filesystem). You may specify a directory to the --shadow option into

which the shadow tree will be created.

Use the --quiet option to disable all configuration verbose messages.

Use the --verbose option to enable additional verbose messages.

Use the --server-uid option to specify the user ID you want the server to run

as. If not specified the server will run as user nobody. If the user ID

specified is different than the ID of the user starting the server, you need to

start the server as root.

Use the --server-gid option to specify the group ID you want the server user ID to

be a member of. If not specified, the group ID will be #-1.

4. Building the package

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

Now you can build the various parts which form the Apache package by

simply running the command

$ make

Please be patient here, this takes approximately 2 minutes to complete

under a Pentium-166/FreeBSD-2.2 system, dependend on the amount of

modules you have enabled.

5. Installing the package

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

Now its time to install the package under the configured installation

PREFIX (see --prefix option above) by running:

$ make install

For the paranoid hackers under us: The above command really installs under

prefix _only_, i.e. no other stuff from your system is touched. Even if

you upgrade an existing installation your configuration files in

PREFIX/etc/ are preserved.

6. Testing the package

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

Now you can fire up your Apache HTTP server by immediately running

$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start

and then you should be able to request your first document via URL

http://localhost/ (when you built and installed Apache as root or at

least used the --without-confadjust option) or http://localhost:8080/

(when you built and installed Apache as a regular user). Then stop the

server again by running:

$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl stop

7. Customizing the package

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

Finally you can customize your Apache HTTP server by editing the

configuration files under PREFIX/etc/.

$ vi PREFIX/etc/httpd.conf

$ vi PREFIX/etc/access.conf

$ vi PREFIX/etc/srm.conf

Have a look at the Apache manual under htdocs/manual/ or

http://www.apache.org/docs/ for a complete reference of available

configuration directives.

8. Preparing the system

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

Proper operation of a public HTTP server requires at least the following:

1. A correctly working TCP/IP layer, since HTTP is implemented on top of

TCP/IP. Although modern Unix platforms have good networking layers,

always make sure you have all official vendor patches referring to the

network layer applied.

2. Accurate time keeping, since elements of the HTTP protocol are

expressed as the time of day. So, it's time to investigate setting

some time synchronization facility on your system. Usually the ntpdate

or xntpd programs are used for this purpose which are based on the

Network Time Protocol (NTP). See the Usenet newsgroup

comp.protocols.time.ntp and the NTP homepage at

http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ for more details about NTP software

and public time servers.
