Apache

Version 1.3 (and up)

What is it?

-----------

Apache is an HTTP server designed as a plug-in replacement for

the NCSA server version 1.3 (or 1.4). It fixes numerous bugs in

the NCSA server and includes many frequently requested new

features, and has an API which allows it to be extended to meet

users' needs more easily.

The Latest Version

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

Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP

server project page under http://httpd.apache.org/.

Documentation

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

The documentation available as of the date of this release is

also included, in HTML format, in the htdocs/manual/ directory.

For the most up-to-date documentation can be found on

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/.

Installation

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

Apache 2.0 uses autoconf for configuration and installation. To create

Apache's autoconf script, you will need libtool 1.3.3 or higher, and

autoconf 2.13 or newer. Those tools will not be required if you are just

using a package downloaded from apache.org, they are only required for

developers.

To configure Apache 2.0 run the following commands.

./buildconf (not required unless you are a developer)

./configure [autoconf arguments] [apache arguments]

make

make install

The buildconf script is very important. Just running autoconf will not

leave the directory tree in a usable state.
