Apache
Version 1.0 (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
-------------
All the documentation is on-line on the WWW, via <URL:http://www.apache.org/>.
Installation
------------
Installation is by the included install script.
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. Sample ones are already supplied with the needed information
changed so you can get apache up and running immediately.
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/>.
Finally, make a call to httpd, with a -f to the full path to the
httpd.conf file. I.e., the common case:
apache:httpd -f apache:conf/httpd.conf
And voila! The server should be running.
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.
The Latest Version
------------------
Details of the latest version are in the apache project page (above).
The most recent distribution is also available by anonymous ftp
from ftp.ast.cam.ac.uk in the directory /pub/WWW/apache.
