                <title>Installing Apache httpd for NetWare</title>


                <p>There is no httpd install program for NetWare currently. If you

            
                are building httpd 2.0 for NetWare from source, you will need to

            
                copy the files over to the server manually.</p>


                <p>Follow these steps to install httpd on NetWare from the

            
                binary download (assuming you will install to

            
                <code>sys:/apache2</code>):</p>


                <ul>

            
                  <li>Unzip the binary download file to the root of the <code>SYS:</code>

            
                  volume (may be installed to any volume)</li>


                  <li>Edit the <code>httpd.conf</code> file setting <directive

            
                  module="core">ServerRoot</directive> and <directive

            
                  module="core">ServerName</directive> along with any file path values

            
                  to reflect your correct server settings</li>


                  <li>Add <code>SYS:/APACHE2</code> to the search path, for example:

            
                    <example>SEARCH ADD SYS:\APACHE2</example>

            
                  </li>

                  and copy all nlm modules into the <code>modules</code> directory</li>


                  <li>Edit the <code>HTTPD.CONF</code> file searching for all

                <p>httpd may be installed to other volumes besides the default <code>SYS</code> volume.</p>


                <p>During the build process, adding the keyword "install" to the makefile command line

            
                will automatically produce a complete distribution package under the subdirectory

            
                <code>DIST</code>. Install httpd by simply copying the distribution that was produced

            
                by the makefiles to the root of a NetWare volume (see: <a href="#comp">Compiling Apache httpd for

            
                NetWare</a> below).</p>

              <section id="run">


                <title>Running Apache httpd for NetWare</title>


                <p>To start httpd just type <code>apache</code> at the

            
                console. This will load apache in the OS address space. If you

            
                prefer to load httpd in a protected address space you may

            
                specify the address space with the load statement as follows:</p>


                <example>

            
                  load address space = apache2 apache2

            
                </example>


                <p>This will load httpd into an address space called apache2.

            
                Running multiple instances of httpd concurrently on NetWare is

            
                possible by loading each instance into its own protected

            
                address space.</p>


                <p>After starting httpd, it will be listening to port 80

            
                (unless you changed the <directive module="mpm_common">Listen</directive>

            
                directive in the configuration files).

            
                To connect to the server and access the default page,

            
                launch a browser and enter the server's name or address. This

            
                should respond with a welcome page, and a link to the httpd

            
                manual. If nothing happens or you get an error, look in the

            
                <code>error_log</code> file in the <code>logs</code>

            
                directory.</p>


                <p>Once your basic installation is working, you should

            
                configure it properly by editing the files in the

            
                <code>conf</code> directory.</p>


                <p>To unload httpd running in the OS address space just type

            
                the following at the console:</p>


                <example>

            
                  unload apache2

            
                </example>


                <p>or</p>


                <example>

            
                  apache2 shutdown

            
                </example>


                <p>If apache is running in a protected address space specify the

            
                address space in the unload statement:</p>


                <example>

            
                  unload address space = apache2 apache2

            
                </example>


                <p>When working with httpd it is important to know how it will

            
                find the configuration files. You can specify a configuration

            
                file on the command line in two ways:</p>


                <ul>

            
                  <li><code>-f</code> specifies a path to a particular

            
                  configuration file</li>

            
                </ul>


                <example>

            
                  apache2 -f "vol:/my server/conf/my.conf"

            
                </example>


                <example>

            
                  apache -f test/test.conf

            
                </example>


                <p>In these cases, the proper <directive module="core">ServerRoot</directive>

            
                should be set in the configuration file.</p>


                <p>If you don't specify a configuration file name with <code>-f</code>,

            
                httpd will use the file name compiled into the server, usually

            
                <code>conf/httpd.conf</code>. Invoking httpd with the <code>-V</code>

            
                switch will display this value labeled as <code>SERVER_CONFIG_FILE</code>.

            
                httpd will then determine its <directive module="core">ServerRoot</directive>

            
                by trying the following, in this order:</p>


                <ul>

            
                  <li>A <code>ServerRoot</code> directive via a

            
                  <code>-C</code> switch.</li>


                  <li>The <code>-d</code> switch on the command line.</li>


                  <li>Current working directory</li>


                  <li>The server root compiled into the server.</li>

            
                </ul>


                <p>The server root compiled into the server is usually <code>sys:/apache2</code>.

            
                invoking apache with the <code>-V</code> switch will display this value labeled as

            
                <code>HTTPD_ROOT</code>.</p>


                <p>httpd 2.0 for NetWare includes a set of command line directives that can

                <title>Configuring Apache httpd for NetWare</title>


                <p>httpd is configured by reading configuration files usually stored

            
                in the <code>conf</code> directory. These are the same as files used

            
                to configure the Unix version, but there are a few different directives for

            
                httpd on NetWare. See the <a href="../mod/">httpd module

            
                documentation</a> for all the available directives.</p>


                <p>The main differences in httpd for NetWare are:</p>


                <ul>

            
                  <li>

            
                    <p>Because httpd for NetWare is multithreaded, it does not

            
                    use a separate process for each request, as httpd does on some Unix

            
                    implementations. Instead there are only threads running: a parent

            
                    thread, and multiple child or worker threads which handle the requests.</p>


                    <p>Therefore the "process"-management directives are different:</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_common">MaxConnectionsPerChild</directive> -

            
                    Like the Unix directive, this controls how many connections

            
                    a worker thread will serve before exiting. The recommended default,

            
                    <code>MaxConnectionsPerChild 0</code>, causes the thread to continue servicing

            
                    request indefinitely. It is recommended on NetWare, unless there is some

            
                    specific reason, that this directive always remain set to <code>0</code>.</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_common">StartThreads</directive> -

            
                    This directive tells the server how many threads it should start initially.

            
                    The recommended default is <code>StartThreads 50</code>.</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_common">MinSpareThreads</directive> -

            
                    This directive instructs the server to spawn additional worker threads

            
                    if the number of idle threads ever falls below this value. The recommended

            
                    default is <code>MinSpareThreads 10</code>.</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_common">MaxSpareThreads</directive> -

            
                    This directive instructs the server to begin terminating worker threads

            
                    if the number of idle threads ever exceeds this value. The recommended

            
                    default is <code>MaxSpareThreads 100</code>.</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_netware">MaxThreads</directive> -

            
                    This directive limits the total number of work threads to a maximum

            
                    value. The recommended default is <code>ThreadsPerChild 250</code>.</p>


                    <p><directive module="mpm_common">ThreadStackSize</directive> -

            
                    This directive tells the server what size of stack to use

            
                    for the individual worker thread. The recommended default

            
                    is <code>ThreadStackSize 65536</code>.</p>

            
                  </li>


                  <li>

            
                    <p>The directives that accept filenames as arguments must use

            
                    NetWare filenames instead of Unix names. However, because httpd

            
                    uses Unix-style names internally, forward slashes must be used

            
                    rather than backslashes. It is recommended that all rooted file paths

            
                    begin with a volume name. If omitted, httpd will assume the

            
                    <code>SYS:</code> volume which may not be correct.</p>

            
                  </li>


                  <li>

            
                    <p>httpd for NetWare has the ability to load modules at

            
                    runtime, without recompiling the server. If httpd is

            
                    compiled normally, it will install a number of optional

            
                    modules in the <code>\Apache2\modules</code> directory.

            
                    To activate these, or other modules, the <directive

            
                    module="mod_so">LoadModule</directive> directive

            
                    must be used. For example, to active the status module, use

            
                    the following:</p>


                    <example>

            
                      LoadModule status_module modules/status.nlm

            
                    </example>

                <title>Compiling Apache httpd for NetWare</title>


                <p>Compiling httpd requires MetroWerks CodeWarrior 6.x or higher. Once

            
                httpd has been built, it can be installed to the root of any NetWare

            
                volume. The default is the <code>sys:/Apache2</code> directory.</p>


                <p>Before running the server you must fill out the <code>conf</code>

            
                directory. Copy the file <code>HTTPD-STD.CONF</code> from the distribution

            
                <code>conf</code> directory and rename it to <code>HTTPD.CONF</code>.

            
                Edit the <code>HTTPD.CONF</code> file searching for all <code>@@Value@@</code>

            
                markers and replacing them with the appropriate setting. Copy over

            
                the <code>conf/magic</code> and <code>conf/mime.types</code> files as well.

            
                Alternatively, a complete distribution can be built by including the keyword

            
                <code>install</code> when invoking the makefiles.</p>

                    to this location that are necessary to complete the following build steps.

            
                    </li>


                    <li>Copy the files <code>\httpd-2.0\nwprebuild\GENCHARS.nlm</code> and

            
                    <code>\httpd-2.0\nwprebuild\DFTABLES.nlm</code> to the <code>SYS:</code> volume of a

            
                    NetWare server and run them using the following commands:

            
                      <example>

            
                        SYS:\genchars &gt; sys:\test_char.h<br />

            
                        SYS:\dftables sys:\chartables.c<br />

            
                      </example>

            
                    </li>


                    <li>Copy the files <code>test_char.h</code> and <code>chartables.c</code>

            
                    to the directory <code>\httpd-2.0\os\netware</code> on the build machine.</li>


                    <li>Change directory to <code>\httpd-2.0</code> and build httpd by running

            
                    "<code>gmake -f nwgnumakefile</code>". You can create a distribution directory by

            
                    adding an install parameter to the command, for example:

            
                    <example>gmake -f nwgnumakefile install</example>

            
                    </li>

            
                  </ul>

                  <title>Building mod_ssl for the NetWare platform</title>


                  <p>By default httpd for NetWare uses the built-in module

            
                  <module>mod_nw_ssl</module> to provide SSL services.  This module

            
                  simply enables the native SSL services implemented in NetWare OS

            
                  to handle all encryption for a given port.  Alternatively, mod_ssl

            
                  can also be used in the same manner as on other platforms.</p>


                  <p>Before mod_ssl can be built for the NetWare platform, the OpenSSL

            
                  libraries must be provided.  This can be done through the following

            
                  steps:</p>


                  <ul>

            
                      <li>Download the recent OpenSSL 0.9.8 release source code from the

            
                      <a href="http://www.openssl.org/source/">OpenSSL Source</a>

            
                      page (older 0.9.7 versions need to be patched and are therefore not

            
                      recommended).</li>


                      <li>Edit the file <code>NetWare/set_env.bat</code> and modify any

            
                      tools and utilities paths so that they correspond to your build

            
                      environment.</li>


                      <li>From the root of the OpenSSL source directory, run the following

            
                      scripts:

            
                      <example>

            
                          Netware\set_env netware-libc<br />

            
                          Netware\build netware-libc

            
                      </example>

            
                      For performance reasons you should enable to build with ASM code.

            
                      Download NASM from the <a href="http://nasm.sourceforge.net/">SF site</a>.

            
                      Then configure OpenSSL to use ASM code:

            
                      <example>

            
                          Netware\build netware-libc nw-nasm enable-mdc2 enable-md5

            
                      </example>

            
                      Warning: don't use the CodeWarrior Assembler - it produces broken code!

            
                      </li>


                      <li>Before building httpd, set the environment variable

            
                      <code>OSSLSDK</code> to the full path to the root of the openssl

            
                      source code directory, and set WITH_MOD_SSL to 1.

            
                      <example>

            
                          Set OSSLSDK=d:\openssl-0.9.8x<br />

            
                          Set WITH_MOD_SSL=1

            
                      </example></li>


                  </ul>
