$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
$ make
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.
+ * Consider if you need to use the bundled APR and APR-Util
+ via ./configure's --with-included-apr option, to use the
+ bundled source instead of a previously installed APR and
+ APR-Util (such as those provided with many OSes). This
+ is required if you don't have the compiler which the
+ system APR was built with. This can be advantageous if
+ you are a developer who will be linking your code with
+ Apache or using a debugger to step through server code,
+ as it removes the possibility of version or compile-option
+ mismatches with APR and APR-util code.
+
+ * If you are a developer building Apache directly from
+ Subversion, you will need to run ./buildconf before running
+ configure. This script bootstraps the build environment and
+ requires Python as well as GNU autoconf and libtool. If you
+ build Apache from a release tarball, you don't have to run
+ buildconf.
+
+ * If you want to build a threaded MPM (for instance worker)
+ on FreeBSD, be aware that threads do not work well with
+ Apache on FreeBSD versions before 5.4-RELEASE. If you wish
+ to try a threaded Apache on an earlier version of FreeBSD,
+ use the --enable-threads parameter to ./configure in
+ addition to the --with-mpm parameter.
+
+ * If you are building directly from Subversion on Mac OS X
+ (Darwin), make sure to use GNU Libtool 1.4.2 or newer. All
+ recent versions of the developer tools on this platform
+ include a sufficiently recent version of GNU Libtool (named
+ glibtool, but buildconf knows where to find it).
For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a
typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-speling=shared

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.

+ Please choose the .msi package if at all possible. Note that Apache version
+ 2.3 is a development version and binaries may not be available. Use a
+ released version from the stable 2.2 branch instead.

+ If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.3-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
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
+ bin\httpd.exe -k install
+ bin\httpd.exe -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
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix or
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows.
