| Apache | |
| Version 2.0 (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. | |
