<h2>1. Getting Axis2/C Working on Linux</h2>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_1"></a>
<h3>1.1 Setting up Prerequisites</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_1_1"></a>
<h4>1.1.1 Mandatory</h4>
<p>By default Axis2/C is not dependent on any other software libraries.</p>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_1_2"></a>
<h4>1.1.2 Optional</h4>
<p>(a) libxml2 - <a href="http://www.xmlsoft.org/" class="externalLink" title="External Link">http://www.xmlsoft.org/</a>
<br></br>
(b) libiconv - <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/" class="externalLink" title="External Link">http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/</a>
<br></br>
(c) zlib - <a href="http://www.zlib.net/" class="externalLink" title="External Link">http://www.zlib.net/</a>
<br></br>
(d) Apache Qpid - </p>
<ul>
You need to have Qpid libraries installed on your
machine if you are going to use AMQP transport. It is imperative that
you compile and install Qpid from SVN source.<br></br>
You can checkout Qpid SVN source from <a class="externalLink" href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/qpid/trunk/qpid">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/qpid/trunk/qpid</a>.
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_2"></a>
<h3>1.2 Using Binary Release</h3>
<p>
(a) Extract the binary tar package to a directory.<br></br>
<br></br>
(b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where
you have extracted Axis2/C.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_path_to_axis2c'</code><br></br>
<code>$ export AXIS2C_HOME</code><br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C
samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes use
AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to Axis2/C. To write your own services or
clients this is not a requirement.<br></br>
</p>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3"></a>
<h3>1.3 Using Source Release</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_1"></a>
<h4>1.3.1 Basic Build</h4>
(a) Extract the source tar package to a directory<br></br>
<br></br>
(b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where
you want to install Axis2/C.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_desired_path_to_axis2c_installation'</code><br></br>
<code>$ export AXIS2C_HOME</code><br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C
samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes use
AXIS2C_HOME to get
the path to Axis2/C. To write your own services or clients this is not
a requirement.<br></br>
<br></br>
(c) Go to the directory where you extracted the source<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ cd /your_path_to_axis2c_source</code><br></br>
<br></br>
(d) Build the source<br></br>
This can be done by running the following command sequence in the
directory where you have extracted the source.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}</code><br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
<br></br>
Please run './configure --help' in respective sub directories for more
information on these configure options. <br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : If you don't provide the --prefix configure option, it will by
default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c' directory.<br></br>
<br></br>
You could run 'make check' to test if everything is working fine.
However,note that the test/core/clientapi/test_clientapi program would
fail unless AXIS2C_HOME points to the installed location.(It's looking
for Axis2/C
repository).This means you really should run 'make &amp;&amp;
make install', then set 'AXIS2C_HOME=/path/to/install', and then 'make
check'. That's a little different than the usual 'make
&amp;&amp; make check &amp;&amp; make install' process.<br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_2"></a>
<h4>1.3.2 Build with Options</h4>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_2_a"></a>
<h4>(a) With Guththila</h4>
You may need to try Axis2/C with Guththila XML parser. You can do it by
giving '--enable-guththila=yes' as a configure option.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --enable-guththila=yes [other configuration
options]</code><br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_2_b"></a>
<h4>(b) With libxml2</h4>
You may need to try Axis2/C with libxml2 XML parser. You can do it by
giving '--enable-libxml2=yes' as a configure option.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --enable-libxml2=yes [other configuration
options]</code><br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_2_c"></a>
<h4>(c) With AMQP Transport</h4>
You may need to try Axis2/C with the AMQP transport. You can do it by
giving '--with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home' as a configure option.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home [other
configuration options]</code><br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_3_3"></a>
<h4>1.3.3 Building Samples</h4>
If you need to get the samples working, you also need to build the
samples.<br></br>
<br></br>
To build the samples:<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib/</code><br></br>
<code>$ cd samples</code><br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}
--with-axis2=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include/axis2-1.6.0</code><br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
<br></br>
Please run './configure --help' in samples folder for more information
on configure options.<br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : If you don't provide a --prefix configure option, samples will
by default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c/samples' directory.<br></br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_4"></a>
<h3>1.4 Configuration</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_4_1"></a>
<h4>1.4.1 AMQP Transport</h4>
You need to add the following entries into the axis2.xml.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>&lt;transportReceiver name="amqp"
class="axis2_amqp_receiver"&gt; <br></br>
   &lt;parameter name="qpid_broker_ip"
locked="false"&gt;127.0.0.1&lt;/parameter&gt;<br></br>
   &lt;parameter name="qpid_broker_port"
locked="false"&gt;5672&lt;/parameter&gt;<br></br>
&lt;/transportReceiver&gt;<br></br>
<br></br>
&lt;transportSender name="amqp" class="axis2_amqp_sender"/&gt;</code>
</div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_5"></a>
<h3>1.5 Running Samples</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_5_1"></a>
<h4>1.5.1 HTTP Transport</h4>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_5_1_a"></a>
<h4>(a) Server</h4>
You have to first start the axis2_http_server as follows.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/bin</code><br></br>
<code>$ ./axis2_http_server</code><br></br>
<br></br>
You should see the message<br></br>
               Started

Server...<br></br>
<br></br>
This will start the simple axis server on port 9090. To see the
possible command line options run<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./axis2_http_server -h</code><br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE 1 : You may need to login as superuser to run the
axis2_http_server.<br></br>
NOTE 2 : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as follows.<br></br>
               <code>$
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib</code><br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="1_5_1_b"></a>
<h4>(b) Clients</h4>
When the axis2_http_server is up and running, you can run the sample
clients in a new shell as follows.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/samples/bin</code><br></br>
<code>$ ./echo</code><br></br>
<br></br>
This will invoke the echo service.<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./math</code><br></br>
<br></br>
This will invoke the math service.<br></br>
<br></br>
To see the possible command line options for sample clients run them
with '-h' option<br></br>
<br></br>

<h3>2.1 Setting up Prerequisites</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_1_1"></a>
<h4>2.1.1 Mandatory</h4>
(a) The binaries shipped with this version are compiled with Microsoft
Visual Studio compiler (cl). And also the makefile that is shipped with
this version needs Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (cl) and nmake
build tool. <br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : You can <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/" class="externalLink" title="External Link">download</a>
Microsoft VS Express2005 Edition and Platform
SDK from Microsoft website. You need to add the path to Platform SDK
Include and Lib folders to the makefile in order for you to compile the
source.<br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_1_2"></a>
<h4>2.1.2 Optional</h4>
(a) libxml2 [<a href="http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml" class="externalLink" title="External Link">http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml</a>

</div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_2"></a>
<h3>2.2 Using Binary Release</h3>
Extract the binary distribution to a folder of your choice.(example:
C:\axis2c)<br></br>
The C:\axis2c folder structure is as follows:<br></br>
<ul>
<li>bin - server and other executables</li>
<li>samples\bin - client sample binaries </li>
<li>samples\lib - sample libraries </li>
<li>samples\src - sample sources </li>
<li>lib - library modules</li>
<li>services - deployed services</li>
<li>modules - deployed modules</li>
<li>include - all Include files of Axis2/C</li>
<li>logs - system and client logs are written to this folder</li>
</ul>
Optionally you might require to copy the iconv.dll, libxml2.dll and zlib1.dll to C:\axis2c\lib as well.<br></br>
(Or you can have these dll's in some other place and add that location
to PATH environment variable)
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_3"></a>
<h3>2.3 Using Source Release</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_3_1"></a>
<h4>2.3.1 Setting Build Options</h4>
<p>Please edit the
&lt;source_distribution&gt;\build\win32\configure.in file
to set the following build options. These are optional</p>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_3_1_a"></a>
<h4>(a) Setting zlib Location</h4>
Set the ZLIB_BIN_DIR to the location where zlib is installed to<br></br>
<br></br>
Default location for zlib is E:\zlib-1.2.3.win32 and the folder
structure should look like the following<br></br>
<br></br>
<img alt="Figure: C:\zlib Folder Structure" src="images/folder_structure_zlib.jpg"></img>
<br></br>
You can either extract zlib to this folder or extract it to a location
of your choice and edit the configure.in file accordingly.<br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : You need to have zlib1.dll in the library path.<br></br>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_3_1_b"></a>

<h4>2.3.2 Compiling the Source</h4>
<p>The following steps will take you through the source
compilation.</p>
<ul>
<li>Extract the source distribution to a folder of your choice.
(Example: C:\axis2c)</li>
<li>Edit the configure.in file as explained in the section 2.3.1</li>
<li>Open a DOS shell</li>
<li><code>cd C:\axis2c\build\win32</code></li>
<li>to access .Net tools, run
<ul>
<li><code>C:\axis2c\build\win32&gt; vcvars32.bat</code></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: You may have to set
the PATH environment variable to vcvars32.bat if MS Windows gives an
error indicating that it cannot find this batch file. This file is
located in &lt;Your MS Visual Studio Install
Directory&gt;\VC\bin directory.</p>
</li>
<li>To build the system and create the binary files in a
directory named deploy under the build directory,
<ul>

<h3>2.4 Running Samples</h3>
You need to set a couple of environment variables before you can run
the server and samples.<br></br>
<br></br>
Set the variable AXIS2C_HOME to the deploy folder (C:\axis2c)<br></br>
Add the path to lib directory to the PATH variable (%AXIS2C_HOME%\lib)<br></br>
<br></br>
Copy iconv.dll, zlib1.dll, libxml2.dll to the %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib folder. This is
optional.<br></br>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_4_1"></a>
<h4>2.4.1 HTTP transport</h4>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_4_1_a"></a>
<h4>(a) Server</h4>
<code>&gt; cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\bin</code><br></br>
<code>&gt; axis2_http_server.exe </code><br></br>
<br></br>
You should see the message<br></br>
               Started
Simple Axis2 HTTP Server...<br></br>
<br></br>
By default the log is created under %AXIS2C_HOME%\logs folder with the
name axis2.log.<br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : You may provide command line options to change the default
behaviour. Type 'axis2_http_server.exe -h' to learn about the usage
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="2_4_1_b"></a>
<h4>(b) Clients</h4>
Now you can run any sample client deployed under
%AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin<br></br>
<br></br>
Example:<br></br>
<ul>
<code>&gt; cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin</code><br></br>
<code>&gt; echo.exe</code>

<h2>3. Installing Apache2 Web Server Integration Module
(mod_axis2)</h2>
<div class="subsection"><a name="3_1"></a>
<h3>3.1 Building mod_axis2 from Source</h3>
<div class="subsection"><a name="3_1_1"></a>
<h4>3.1.1 On Linux</h4>
Provide the Apache2 include file location as a configure option<br></br>
<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --with-apache2="&lt;apache2 httpd include
files location&gt;" [other
configure options]</code><br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE : Some apache2 distributions install APR (Apache Portable Runtime)
include files in a separate location which is required to build
mod_axis2.<br></br>
<br></br>
In that case use:<br></br>
<code>$ ./configure --with-apache2="&lt;apache2 include files
location&gt;" --with-apr="&lt;apr include files
location&gt;" [other configure options]</code><br></br>
<br></br>
Then build the source tree<br></br>
<code>$ make</code><br></br>
<code>$ make install</code><br></br>
<br></br>
This will install mod_axis2.so into your
"&lt;your_path_to_axis2c&gt;/lib"
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="3_1_2"></a>
<h4>3.1.2 On Windows (Win32)</h4>
Provide the apache2 location in configure.in file in APACHE_BIN_DIR<br></br>
<br></br>
Example:<br></br>
APACHE_BIN_DIR = E:\Apache22<br></br>
<br></br>
After compiling the sources (as described in section 2.3) build the
mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_apache_module'.<br></br>
This will build mod_axis2.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib
directory.<br></br>
<br></br>
Example:<br></br>
C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib </div>
</div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="3_2"></a>
<h3>3.2 Deploying in Apache2 Web Server</h3>
NOTE : To do the following tasks, you might need super user privileges
on your machine. If you are using the binary release of Axis2/C, please note that it is built with Apache 2.2.<br></br>
<br></br>
Copy the mod_axis2 (libmod_axis2.so.0.6.0 on Linux and mod_axis2.dll on
Windows) to "&lt;apache2 modules directory&gt;" as
mod_axis2.so <br></br>
<br></br>
Example:<br></br>
<code>cp $AXIS2C_HOME/lib/libmod_axis2.so.0.6.0
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_axis2.so </code>(on Linux)<br></br>
<code>copy C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib\mod_axis2.dll
C:\Apache2\modules\mod_axis2.so </code>(on Windows)<br></br>
<br></br>
Edit the Apache2's configuration file (generally httpd.conf) and add
the following directives<br></br>
<br></br>
LoadModule axis2_module &lt;apache2 modules
directory&gt;/mod_axis2.so<br></br>
Axis2RepoPath &lt;axis2 repository path&gt;<br></br>
Axis2LogFile &lt;axis2 log file path&gt;<br></br>
Axis2MaxLogFileSize &lt;maximum size of log file&gt;<br></br>
Axis2LogLevel LOG_LEVEL<br></br>
&lt;Location /axis2&gt;<br></br>
SetHandler axis2_module<br></br>
&lt;/Location&gt;<br></br>
<br></br>
NOTE:
<ul>
Axis2 log file path should have write access to all users because
by default Apache Web Server runs as nobody.<br></br>
<br></br>
If you want to use a Shared Global Pool with Apache you have to give
another entry called Axis2GlobalPoolSize. <br></br>
You have to give the size of the shared global pool in MB. <br></br>
If you don't set the value or if you set a negative value Apache module
doesn't create shared global pool.<br></br>
<br></br>
Axis2GlobalPoolSize &lt;global pool size in mb&gt; <br></br>
</ul>
<br></br>
LOG_LEVEL can be one of the followings<br></br>
<ul>
<li>crit - Log critical errors only</li>
<li>error - Log errors critical errors</li>
<li>warn - Log warnings and above</li>
<li>info - Log info and above</li>
<li>debug - Log debug and above (default)</li>
<li>trace - Log trace messages</li>
</ul>
<br></br>
NOTE: Use forward slashes "/" for path separators in &lt;apache2
modules directory&gt;, &lt;axis2 repository path&gt; and
&lt;axis2 log file path&gt;<br></br>
<br></br>
Make sure that the apache2 user has the correct permissions to above
paths<br></br>
- Read permission to the repository<br></br>
- Write permission to the log file<br></br>
<br></br>
Restart apache2 and test whether mod_axis2 module is loaded by typing
the URL <a href="http://localhost/axis2/services" title="External Link" class="externalLink">http://localhost/axis2/services</a>
in your Web browser

<h2>4. Installing IIS (Interner Information Server) Integration
Module (mod_axis2_IIS)</h2>
<div class="subsection"><a name="4_1"></a>
<h3>4.1 Building mod_axis2_IIS from Source</h3>
After compiling the source (as described in section 2.3) build the
mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_IIS_module'.<br></br>
This will build the mod_axis2_IIS.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib
directory.<br></br>
<br></br>
Example:<br></br>
C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib </div>
<div class="subsection"><a name="4_2"></a>
<h3>4.2 Deploying in the IIS</h3>
Add the following key to the registery.<br></br>
<br></br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Axis2c\IIS ISAPI Redirector<br></br>
<br></br>
Under this registry key add the following entries.<br></br>
<br></br>
A String value with the name "axis2c_home". The value is the
AXIS2C_HOME.<br></br>
Example : c:\axis2c<br></br>
<br></br>
A String value with the name "log_file". The value is the absolute path
of the log file.<br></br>
Example: c:\axis2c\logs\axis2.log<br></br>
<br></br>
A String value with the name "log_level". The value can be one of the
followings.<br></br>
<ul>
<li>trace - Log trace messages</li>
<li>error - Log errors critical errors</li>
<li>info - Log info and above</li>
<li>critical - Log critical errors only </li>
<li>debug - Log debug and above (default)</li>
<li>warning - Log warnings</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can add a string value with the name <code>services_url_prefix</code>. This is optional and defaults to "/services".
As an example, if you have "/web_services" as the prefix, then all the
services hosted would have the endpoint prefix of : <br></br>
http://localhost/axis2/web_services.<br></br>Note: don't forget the / at the begining.<br></br>
</p>
<p>
If you wish, you can also change the location as well by adding a string value with the name <code>axis2_location</code>. This is also optional and defaults to /axis2.
If you have /myserser as the value you can access your web services with a url like http://localhost/myserver/services. <br></br>Note: Don't forget the / at the beginning.</p>
<p>
</p><p>Now you can do all the registry editing using the JScript file axis2_iis_regedit.js provided with the distribution.
When you build axis2/C with the IIS module the file is copied to the root directory of the binary distribution.
Just double click it and everything will be set to the defaults. The axis2c_home is taken as the current directory, so make sure you run the file in the Axis2/C repository location (or root of the binary distribution). If you want to change the values you can
manually edit the the .js file or give it as command line arguments to the script when running the script. To run the jscript from the command line use the command <code>:\cscript axis2_iis_regedit.js optional arguments</code>. We recomend the manual editing as it is the easiest way to specify the values.</p>
<p><b>IIS 5.1 or Below</b></p>
Using the IIS management console, add a new virtual
directory to your IIS/PWS web site. The name of the virtual directory
must be <code>axis2</code>. Its
physical path should be the directory in which you placed
mod_axis2_IIS.dll (in our example it is
c:\axis2c\lib). When creating this new virtual directory, <b>assign
execute access to it</b>.
<p>By using the IIS management console, add
mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter in your IIS/PWS web site and restart the
IIS
admin service.</p>
<p><b>IIS 6 &amp; 7</b></p>
Using the IIS management console, add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a
Wildcard Script Map.
<ul>
<li>Executable should be the complete path to the
mod_axis2_IIS.dll</li>
<li>You can put any name as the name of the Wildcard Script Map</li>
</ul>
<p>Please don't add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter to IIS as
in the IIS 5.1 case.</p>
<p>Note: If the Axis2/C failed to load, verify that Axis2/C and
its dependent DLLs are in the System Path (not the user path). </p>
