- Apache
- Version 1.2 (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.
-
-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, visit us on the WWW, at
-<URL:http://www.apache.org/>.
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-Unless you grabbed a binary distribution of Apache, you must compile
-it for your specific platform. In order to compile it, you must set
-compile-time options (in particular, system type) for your system by
-editing a Configuration file, run a script which generates a Makefile
-and a small piece of C code, and then compile it.
+ Apache
+ Version 1.3 (and up)
-For instructions on compilation, see the file 'INSTALL' in the src/ directory.
+ What is it?
+ -----------
-After compilation, you will have a binary called "httpd" in the src/
-directory. If you received a binary distribution of apache, you
-should have this file already.
+ 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 next step is to edit the configuration files for the server. In
-the subdirectory called "conf" you should find distribution versions
-of the three configuration files: srm.conf-dist, access.conf-dist, and
-httpd.conf-dist. Copy them to srm.conf, access.conf, httpd.conf
-respectively.
+ The Latest Version
+ ------------------
-First edit httpd.conf. This sets up general attributes about the
-server - the port number, the user it runs as, etc. Next edit the
-srm.conf file - this sets up the root of the document tree, special
-functions like server-parsed HTML or internal imagemap parsing, etc.
-Finally, edit the access.conf file to at least set the base cases of
-access. Documentation for all of these is located at
-<URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/>.
+ Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP
+ server project page under http://httpd.apache.org/.
-Finally, make a call to httpd, with a -f to the full path to the
-httpd.conf file. I.e., the common case:
+ Documentation
+ -------------
- /usr/local/etc/apache/src/httpd -f /usr/local/etc/apache/conf/httpd.conf
+ 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/.
-And voila! The server should be running.
+ Installation
+ ------------
-By default the srm.conf and access.conf files are located by name - to
-specifically call them by other names, use the AccessConfig and
-ResourceConfig directives in httpd.conf.
+ From Apache version 1.3 and up you have two possibilities to
+ build and install the Apache package: The old commonly known
+ but manual way from Apache 1.2 and below and the new
+ out-of-the-box way through the new Apache Autoconf-style
+ Interface (APACI). For detailed instructions see the file
+ INSTALL in this directory.
