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. | |
