NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which
Apache should be installed. A typical installation
- might use "/usr/local/apache" for PREFIX (without the
+ might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the
quotes).
* If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will
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.

+ Quick Start - Windows
+ ---------------------
+
+ For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or
+ http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/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-2.1.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.1.xx-win32-x86.zip.
+ Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.
+
+ If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.1-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 2.1.
