Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows

+ +

There are many important points before you begin compiling Apache. + See Using Apache with Microsoft Windows + before you begin.

+ +

Compiling Apache requires Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (or later) to be + properly installed. It is easiest to compile with the command-line tools + (nmake, etc...). Consult the VC++ manual to determine how to install + them.

+ +

First, unpack the Apache distribution into an appropriate + directory. Open a command-line prompt, and change to the + src subdirectory of the Apache distribution.

+ +

The master Apache makefile instructions are contained in the + Makefile.win file. To compile Apache on Windows, simply + use one of the following commands: +

+ +

These will both compile Apache. The latter will include debugging + information in the resulting files, making it easier to find bugs and + track down problems.

+ +

Apache can also be compiled using VC++'s Visual Studio development + environment. Although compiling Apache in this manner is not as + simple, it makes it possible to easily modify the Apache source, or + to compile Apache if the command-line tools are not installed. + Project files (.DSP) are included for each of the + portions of Apache. To build Apache from the these projects files + you will need to build the following projects in this order: + This needs updating for Apache 2.0 +

    +
  1. os\win32\ApacheOS.dsp +
  2. regex\regex.dsp +
  3. ap\ap.dsp +
  4. main\gen_uri_delims.dsp +
  5. main\gen_test_char.dsp +
  6. ApacheCore.dsp +
  7. Apache.dsp +
+ + In addition, the src\os\win32 subdirectory contains + project files for the optional modules (see below).

+ +

Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in its server + root directory. The default is the \Apache + directory, on the current hard drive.

+ +

To install the files into the \Apache directory + automatically, use one the following nmake commands (see above):

+ + +The dir argument to INSTDIR gives the installation directory; it can +be omitted if Apache is to be installed into \Apache. + +

This will install the following:

+ + + +

If you do not have nmake, or wish to install in a different directory, + be sure to use a similar naming scheme.

+ +

+Before running the server you must fill out the conf directory. +Copy the *.conf-dist-win from the distribution conf directory +and rename *.conf. Edit the @@ServerRoot@@ entries to your +actual server root (for example "C:\apache"). Copy over +the conf/magic and conf/mime.types files as well. + + + + diff --git a/docs/manual/platform/windows.html b/docs/manual/platform/windows.html index 95bcef390a..fbe075fbce 100644 --- a/docs/manual/platform/windows.html +++ b/docs/manual/platform/windows.html @@ -21,12 +21,10 @@ to contribute in other ways, please use our bug reporting page.

To stop Apache running, either select + the "Shutdown Apache console app" icon option from the Start menu + (this is not available in Apache 1.3.4 or earlier), or see Signalling Console Apache when Running for how + to control Apache from the command line.

    + +

    If the Apache console window closes immediately (or unexpectedly), + run the "Command Prompt" from the Start Menu - Programs list. Change + to the folder to which you installed Apache, type the command apache, + and read the error message. Then change to the logs folder, and review + the error.log file for configuration mistakes. If you accepted the + defaults when you installed Apache, the commands would be:

    +    Run regedt32
    +    Select Window - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine" from the menu
    +    Double-click to open the SYSTEM, then the CurrentControlSet keys

    +        Tcpip
    +        Afd
    +        and click OK
    +
    + +

    If you are using COM or DCOM components from a third party module, ISAPI, + or other add-in scripting technologies such as ActiveState Perl, you may + also need to add the entry Rpcss to the DependOnService list. To avoid + exposing the TCP port 135 when it is unnecessary, Apache does not create + that entry upon installation. Follow the directions above to find or + create the DependOnService value, double click that value if it already + exists, and add the Rpcss entry to the list.

    Compiling Apache for Windows

    Compiling Apache requires Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (or later) to be - properly installed. It is easiest to compile with the command-line tools - (nmake, etc...). Consult the VC++ manual to determine how to install - them.

    - -

    First, unpack the Apache distribution into an appropriate - directory. Open a command-line prompt, and change to the - src subdirectory of the Apache distribution.

    - -

    The master Apache makefile instructions are contained in the - Makefile.win file. To compile Apache on Windows, simply - use one of the following commands: -

      -
    • nmake /f Makefile.win _apacher (release build) -
    • nmake /f Makefile.win _apached (debug build) -
    - -

    These will both compile Apache. The latter will include debugging - information in the resulting files, making it easier to find bugs and - track down problems.

    - -

    Apache can also be compiled using VC++'s Visual Studio development - environment. Although compiling Apache in this manner is not as - simple, it makes it possible to easily modify the Apache source, or - to compile Apache if the command-line tools are not installed. - Project files (.DSP) are included for each of the - portions of Apache. To build Apache from the these projects files - you will need to build the following projects in this order: - This needs updating for Apache 2.0 -

      -
    1. os\win32\ApacheOS.dsp -
    2. regex\regex.dsp -
    3. ap\ap.dsp -
    4. main\gen_uri_delims.dsp -
    5. main\gen_test_char.dsp -
    6. ApacheCore.dsp -
    7. Apache.dsp -
    - - In addition, the src\os\win32 subdirectory contains - project files for the optional modules (see below).

    - -

    Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in its server - root directory. The default is the \Apache - directory, on the current hard drive.

    - -

    To install the files into the \Apache directory - automatically, use one the following nmake commands (see above):

    -
      -
    • nmake /f Makefile.win installr INSTDIR=dir - (for release build) -
    • nmake /f Makefile.win installd INSTDIR=dir - (for debug build) -
    - -The dir argument to INSTDIR gives the installation directory; it can -be omitted if Apache is to be installed into \Apache. - -

    This will install the following:

    - -
      -
    • dir\Apache.exe - Apache executable -
    • dir\ApacheCore.dll - Main Apache shared library -
    • dir\modules\ApacheModule*.dll - Optional Apache - modules (7 files) -
    • dir\conf - Empty configuration directory -
    • dir\logs - Empty logging directory -
    - -

    If you do not have nmake, or wish to install in a different directory, - be sure to use a similar naming scheme.

    - -

    -Before running the server you must fill out the conf directory. -Copy the *.conf-dist-win from the distribution conf directory -and rename *.conf. Edit the @@ServerRoot@@ entries to your -actual server root (for example "C:\apache"). Copy over -the conf/magic and conf/mime.types files as well. +

    Note for people familiar with the Unix version of Apache: these + commands provide a Windows equivalent to kill -TERM + pid and kill -USR1 pid. The command + line option used, -k, was chosen as a reminder of the + "kill" command used on Unix.
