- APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
-
- Quick Start - Unix
- ------------------
-
- For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/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 2.2
- is to run ./configure --help.
-
-
- Quick Start - Windows
- ---------------------
-
- For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/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-2.2.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.2.xx-win32-x86.zip.
- Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.
-
- If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.2-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 2.2.
