APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Quick Start - Unix
------------------
For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html
$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start
NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which
Apache should be installed. A typical installation
might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the
quotes).
* If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will
be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default,
as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If
you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use
"./configure --enable-threads".
* If you are building on Mac OS X (Darwin), make sure to
use libtool 1.4.2 or newer.
* If you are a developer building Apache directly from CVS,
you will need to run ./buildconf before running configure.
For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a
typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree
/sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two
additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading
through the DSO mechanism:
$ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \
./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-speling=shared
The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.0
is to run ./configure --help.
Quick Start - Windows
---------------------
For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html.
The Apache/Win32 binaries are primarily distributed as a Windows Installer
package (.msi), and may be available as a .zip file as well. These packages
are named apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.zip.
Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.
If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.0-xx.zip, without
any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links
mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the
binary package from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ and
install that .msi (or .zip package, if you must.)
If you have unpacked this binary distribution from the .zip package, you
_must_ edit the conf/httpd.conf file (with notepad or another text editor)
to reflect the correct ServerName, Domain, and directory paths. Search for
the text "@@" to discover what you must edit. To install and start the
service after you have corrected the httpd.conf file, use the command
bin\Apache -k install
bin\Apache -k start
The .msi package configures the httpd.conf file, and installs and starts
the Apache2 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts
and the taskbar ApacheMonitor. We strongly encourage you to use it.
Postscript
----------
The Apache HTTP Server group cannot field user's installation questions.
There are many valuable forums to help you get started. Please refer your
questions to the appropriate forum, such as the Users Mailing List at
http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html or the usenet newsgroups
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix or
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows.
Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.0.
