| New version of APR |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Note that the included APR is now version 1.3, which adds several |
| subtle changes in the behavior of file handling, pipes and process |
| creation. Most importantly, there is finer control over the handles |
| inherited by processes, so the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid modules must |
| be updated for httpd-2.2.9 to run correctly on Windows. |
| |
| Most other third party modules are unaffected by this change. |
| |
| |
| Connecting to databases |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Five SQL driver connectors (dbd) are provided in the binary distribution, |
| for MySQL, SQLite3, PostgreSQL, Oracle and ODBC. Two keyed database |
| connectors are provided, SDBM and Oracle Berkeley DB. All but SDBM will |
| require you to install the corresponding client driver libraries. |
| |
| The sqlitedll.zip binary (containing sqlite3.dll) can be obtained from |
| http://www.sqlite.org/download.html |
| note that this binary was built with version 3.6.16 (earlier and later |
| version 3.6 driver .dll's may work.) The lib binding is created using |
| LIB /DEF:sqlite3.def and using the .h files from the _amalgamation zip. |
| |
| The Oracle Instant Client - Basic driver can be obtained from |
| http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html |
| and note that this binary was built against version 11.1.0.6.0, |
| other version 11.1 drivers may work. |
| |
| The PostgreSQL client binaries may be obtained from |
| http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.1/win32/ |
| and note that this binary was built against version 8.3.1-1, and |
| again it may work with other 8.1 version .dll's. |
| |
| The MySQL client binaries ("Essentials" is sufficient) is obtained from |
| http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32 |
| but note that once using the MySQL database, the applicable exception |
| clause demands copy-left terms on the resulting combination. |
| |
| The Oracle Berkeley DB binaries may be obtained from |
| http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html |
| but note that once using the Berkeley DB code, the Oracle license |
| demands copy-left terms on the resulting combination. |
| |
| NOTE: For whichever database backend(s) you configure, the corresponding |
| driver .dll's must be in your PATH to test from console mode, and in the |
| systemwide path if used for a service such as Apache httpd. |
| |
| The FreeTDS driver is not built on Windows, since the Microsoft ODBC is |
| provided instead. The sqlite2 and ndbm drivers are not used on Windows, |
| as there is no point in legacy support of these old versions. The ASF |
| does not distribute binary builds of the gdbm binding. |
