Compiling and Installing Apache 1.3

This document covers compilation and installation of Apache - on Unix systems, using the manual build and install method. If - you wish to use the autoconf-style configure interface, you - should instead read the INSTALL file in the root directory of - the Apache source distribution. For compiling and installation - on specific platforms, see

Downloading Apache

Using Apache with HP MPE/iX

You may download the latest version of Apache either directly from the + Apache web site, at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/, + or from one of the many mirror sites, listed at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi. + These sites will list the current release, and more recent beta releases, + and have links to older versions, and binary distributions for a variety + of platforms.

+ +

Introduction

+ +

Like all good things, there are two ways to configure, compile, and + install Apache. You can go for the 3-minute installation process using + the APACI process described below; or, you can opt for the same mechanism + used in previous versions of Apache, as described in the file + 'src/INSTALL'. Each mechanism has its benefits and drawbacks - APACI is + newer and a little more raw, but it gets you up and running the least + amount of time, whereas the "Configuration.tmpl" mechanism may be more + familiar and give you some more flexibility to the power user. We'd be + very interested in your comments and feedback regarding each + approach.

Compiling Apache under - UnixWare

Installing the Apache 1.3 HTTP server with + APACI

Overview of the Apache TPF - Port

- +

Overview for the impatient

  +     $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
  +     $ make
  +     $ make install
  +     $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start
  +

+ +

NOTE: PREFIX is not the string "PREFIX". Instead + use the Unix filesystem path under which Apache should be installed. For + instance use "/usr/local/apache" for PREFIX above.

+ +

Requirements

+ +

The following requirements exist for building Apache:

+ +

Disk Space:

Make sure you have approximately 12 MB of temporary free disk space + available. After installation Apache occupies approximately 3 MB of + disk space (the actual required disk space depends on the amount of + compiled in third party modules, etc).

ANSI-C Compiler:

Make sure you have an ANSI-C compiler installed. The GNU C compiler + (GCC) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is recommended (version + 2.7.2 is fine). If you don't have GCC then at least make sure your + vendors compiler is ANSI compliant. You can find the homepage of GNU at + http://www.gnu.org/ and the GCC distribution under + http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html .

Perl 5 Interpreter [OPTIONAL]:

For some of the support scripts like `apxs' or `dbmmanage' (which + are written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions 5.003 + and 5.004 are fine). If no such interpreter is found by APACI's + `configure' script this is no harm. Of course, you still can build and + install Apache 1.3. Only those support scripts cannot be used. If you + have multiple Perl interpreters installed (perhaps a Perl 4 from the + vendor and a Perl 5 from your own), then it is recommended to use the + --with-perl option (see below) to make sure the correct one is selected + by APACI.

Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support [OPTIONAL]:

To provide maximum flexibility Apache now is able to load modules + under runtime via the DSO mechanism by using the pragmatic + dlopen()/dlsym() system calls. These system calls are not available + under all operating systems therefore you cannot use the DSO + mechanism on all platforms. And Apache currently has only limited + built-in knowledge on how to compile shared objects because this is + heavily platform-dependent. The current state is this:

+ +

+ Out-of-the-box supported platforms are: + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Linux SunOS UnixWare Darwin/Mac OS
FreeBSD Solaris AIX OpenStep/Mach
OpenBSD IRIX SCO DYNIX/ptx
NetBSD HPUX ReliantUNIX BSDI
Digital Unix DGUX
+
+
+ Entirely unsupported platforms are: + +
Ultrix
+

+ +

If your system is not on these lists but has the dlopen-style + interface, you either have to provide the appropriate compiler and + linker flags (see CFLAGS_SHLIB, LDFLAGS_SHLIB and + LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT below) manually or at least make sure a Perl 5 + interpreter is installed from which Apache can guess the options.

+ +

For more in-depth information about DSO support in Apache 1.3 + please read the document htdocs/manual/dso.html carefully. Especially + the section entitled "Advantages & Disadvantages" because using + the DSO mechanism can have strange side-effects if you are not + carefully. BE WARNED!

+ +

Configuring the source tree

+ +

The next step is to configure the Apache source tree for your + particular platform and personal requirements. The most important setup + here is the location prefix where Apache is to be installed later, + because Apache has to be configured for this location to work correctly. + But there are a lot of other options available for your pleasure.

+ +

For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a + typical example which compiles Apache for the installation tree + /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two + additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_proxy for later loading through + the DSO mechanism:

  +     $ CC="pgcc" OPTIM="-O2" \
  +       ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
  +                   --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite \
  +                   --enable-module=proxy   --enable-shared=proxy
  +

+ +

For a complete list of the available options, type the following + command:

./configure --help

+ +

See also the file README.configure for listings of + example configurations.

+ +

Building the package

+ +

Now you can build the various parts which form the Apache package by + simply running the command

  +        $ make 
  +

+ +

Please be patient here, this takes approximately 2 minutes to complete + under a Pentium-166/FreeBSD-2.2 system, dependent on the amount of + modules you have enabled.

+ +

Installing the package

+ +

Now its time to install the package under the configured installation + PREFIX (see the --prefix option above):

  +        $ make install
  +

Downloading Apache

- Information on the latest version of Apache can be found on the - Apache web server at http://www.apache.org/. This - will list the current release, any more recent beta-test - release, together with details of mirror web and anonymous ftp - sites. - -

If you downloaded a binary distribution, skip to Installing Apache. Otherwise read the next - section for how to compile the server.

In the following examples, PREFIX is not the literal string + "PREFIX", but whatever argument you provided to + the--prefix option.

+ + + +

Building and installing Apache in the traditional way

+ + Before the advent of APACI, there was just one way to build and + install Apache. While APACI gave a configuration interface which is + more familiar to some people, the older method gives a way to + configure the installation without typing a large number of + command-line options. + +
