While many distributions make Apache httpd available as operating system + supported packages, it can sometimes be desirable to install and use the + canonical version of Apache httpd on these systems, replacing the natively + provided versions of the packages.

This document explains how to build, install, configure and run - Apache 2.4 under Unix systems supporting the RPM packaging format.

+ Apache httpd 2.4 under Unix systems supporting the RPM packaging format.

+

Corresponding "-devel" packages will be required to be installed on your + build system prior to building the RPMs, the rpmbuild command + will automatically calculate what RPMs are required and will list any + dependencies that are missing on your system. These "-devel" packages will + not be required after the build is completed, and can be safely removed.

If successful, the following RPMs will be created:

-- 2.40.0
