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".
