30 <p>While many distributions make Apache httpd available as operating system
31 supported packages, it can sometimes be desirable to install and use the
32 canonical version of Apache httpd on these systems, replacing the natively
33 provided versions of the packages.</p>
35 <p>While the Apache httpd project does not currently create binary RPMs
36 for the various distributions out there, it is easy to build your own
37 binary RPMs from the canonical Apache httpd tarball.</p>
39 <p>This document explains how to build, install, configure and run
40 Apache httpd 2.4 under Unix systems supporting the RPM packaging format.</p>

51 <h2><a name="creating" id="creating">Creating a Source RPM</a></h2>
54 <p>The Apache httpd source tarball can be converted into an SRPM as
57 <div class="example"><p><code>
58 rpmbuild -ts httpd-2.4.x.tar.bz2
61 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
63 <h2><a name="building" id="building">Building RPMs</a></h2>
66 <p>RPMs can be built directly from the Apache httpd source tarballs using
67 the following command:</p>
69 <div class="example"><p><code>
70 rpmbuild -tb httpd-2.4.x.tar.bz2
73 <p>Corresponding "-devel" packages will be required to be installed on your
74 build system prior to building the RPMs, the <code>rpmbuild</code> command
75 will automatically calculate what RPMs are required and will list any
76 dependencies that are missing on your system. These "-devel" packages will
77 not be required after the build is completed, and can be safely removed.</p>
79 <p>If successful, the following RPMs will be created:</p>
82 <dt>httpd-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm</dt>
83 <dd>The core server and basic module set.</dd>
85 <dt>httpd-debuginfo-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm</dt>

121 <h2><a name="installing" id="installing">Installing the Server</a></h2>
124 <p>The <code>httpd</code> RPM is the only RPM necessary to get a basic
125 server to run. Install it as follows:</p>
127 <div class="example"><p><code>
128 rpm -U httpd-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
131 <p>Self contained modules are included with the server. Modules that
132 depend on external libraries are provided as separate RPMs to install

136 <div class="section">
137 <h2><a name="default" id="default">Configuring the Default Instance of Apache httpd</a></h2>
140 <p>The default configuration for the server is installed by default
141 beneath the <code>/etc/httpd</code> directory, with logs written by
142 default to <code>/var/log/httpd</code>. The environment for the
143 webserver is set by default within the optional
144 <code>/etc/sysconfig/httpd</code> file.</p>
146 <p>Start the server as follows:</p>
148 <div class="example"><p><code>
149 service httpd restart

154 <h2><a name="additional" id="additional">Configuring Additional Instances of Apache httpd on the Same Machine</a></h2>
157 <p>It is possible to configure additional instances of the Apache
158 httpd server running independently alongside each other on the same
159 machine. These instances can have independent configurations, and
160 can potentially run as separate users if so configured.</p>
162 <p>This was done by making the httpd startup script aware of its own
163 name. This name is then used to find the environment file for the
164 server, and in turn, the server root of the server instance.</p>
166 <p>To create an additional instance called
167 <code>httpd-additional</code>, follow these steps:</p>
170 <li>Create a symbolic link to the startup script for the additional
173 <div class="example"><p><code>
174 ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-additional<br />
175 chkconfig --add httpd-additional
180 <li>Create an environment file for the server, using the
181 <code>/etc/sysconfig/httpd</code> file as a template:
183 <div class="example"><p><code>
184 # template from httpd<br />
185 cp /etc/sysconfig/httpd /etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional
188 <div class="example"><p><code>
189 # blank template<br />
190 touch /etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional
193 Edit <code>/etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional</code> and pass the
194 server root of the new server instance within the
195 <code>OPTIONS</code> environment variable.
197 <div class="example"><p><code>
198 OPTIONS="-d /etc/httpd-additional -f conf/httpd-additional.conf"
203 <li>Edit the server configuration file
204 <code>/etc/httpd-additional/conf/httpd-additional.conf</code> to
205 ensure the correct ports and paths are configured.
208 <li>Start the server as follows:
210 <div class="example"><p><code>
211 service httpd-additional restart
216 <li>Repeat this process as required for each server instance.</li>
