+ 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 2000, 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 limited support for
+ 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. The Win32 code for Apache 2.0 was entirely
+ revised and large segments have been rewritten. When Apache 2.0
+ is released, we strongly encourage all Win32 users to move to
+ that platform to reduce these risks.
+
+ 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.
+
+ If you have downloaded a tar.gz file, extract it to your hard drive
+ using WinZip or similar and look in the apache-1.3\htdocs\manual
+ folder of the archive for windows.html for instructions on using
+ Apache with Windows, win_service.html for instructions on using the
+ Apache server as a Windows 'service', and win_compiling.html for
+ help with compiling 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".
