New version of APR | |
------------------ | |
Note that the included APR is now version 1.3, which adds several | |
subtle changes in the behavior of file handling, pipes and process | |
creation. Most importantly, there is finer control over the handles | |
inherited by processes, so the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid modules must | |
be updated for httpd-2.2.9 to run correctly on Windows. | |
Most other third party modules are unaffected by this change. | |
Source corrections applied | |
-------------------------- | |
The -win32-src.zip package includes corrections to the Makefile.win | |
build file so that .mak based builds work. The package also corrects | |
the default to disable IPV6 support. These patches are summarized in | |
the httpd-2.2.9-win32-src.applied.patch file. | |
Connecting to databases | |
----------------------- | |
With APR-util 1.3.0, the MySQL and FreeTDS drivers do not compile | |
on Windows. There is no Microsoft SQL Server client or ODBC client | |
at the present time. | |
Three driver connectors are provided in the binary distribution, for | |
SQLite3, PostgreSQL and Oracle. They require you to install the actual | |
corresponding client drivers. | |
The sqlitedll.zip binary file can be obtained from; | |
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html | |
note that this binary was built with version 3.5.9 (earlier and | |
later version 3.5 driver .dll's may work.) | |
The Oracle Instant Client - Basic driver can be obtained from | |
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html | |
and note that this binary was built against version 11.1.0.6.0, | |
other version 11.1 drivers may work. | |
The PostgreSQL binaries may be obtained from | |
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.1/win32/ | |
and note that this binary was built against version 8.3.1-1, and | |
again it may work with other 8.1 version .dll's. | |
For whichever database backend you configure, the corresponding driver | |
.dll's must be in your PATH (and in the systemwide path if used for | |
a service such as Apache httpd). | |
