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". + + Licensing + --------- + + Please see the file called LICENSE. + + Acknowledgments + ---------------- + + We wish to acknowledge the following copyrighted works that + make up portions of the Apache software: + + Portions of this software were developed at the National Center + for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of + Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. + + This software contains code derived from the RSA Data Security + Inc.
