| Apache | |
| Version 1.3 (and up) | |
| What is it? | |
| ----------- | |
| Apache is an HTTP server, originally designed for Unix systems. This | |
| is the version of Apache for Microsoft Windows NT, 98, and 95 | |
| systems. Like the Unix version, it includes many frequently | |
| requested new features, and has an API that allows it to be extended | |
| to meet users' needs more easily. It also allows ISAPI extensions. | |
| The Latest Version | |
| ------------------ | |
| Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP | |
| server project page under http://www.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://www.apache.org/docs/. For Windows specific information, see | |
| http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html. | |
| WARNING | |
| ------- | |
| Apache on Win32 has not yet been optimized for performance. Apache | |
| still performs best, and is most reliable on Unix platforms. Over | |
| time we will improve performance for Windows NT. Folks doing | |
| comparative reviews of webserver performance are asked to compare | |
| against Apache on a Unix platform such as Solaris, FreeBSD, or | |
| Linux. | |
| Apache on Win32 should still be considered beta quality code. It | |
| does not meet the normal standards of stability and security that | |
| Unix releases do. | |
| Installation | |
| ------------ | |
| If you have installed Apache as a pre-compiled binary, you can | |
| now run the server by selecting "Start Apache as console app" | |
| from the Start menu. You can configure Apache for your system | |
| by editing the file conf/httpd.conf in the directory where you | |
| installed Apache. | |
| See the http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html for details of how | |
| to run and configure Apache, or select the "Apache Documentation" | |
| icon read the local copy installed with Apache. | |
| Known Problems | |
| -------------- | |
| To get information about the current set of known problems, see the | |
| online bug reporting database at | |
| http://www.apache.org/bug_report.html. Bugs which affect Apache on | |
| Windows and not Apache on Unix can be found under the category | |
| "os-windows". | |
