• Version: 2.0.46
• Summary: HTTP server

Notes

Important and permanent services should be built and installed locally to the system where its data resides. This avoids retransmission of the same data over the net (e.g. a webserver hosting NFS traffice).

Prerequisites

This list is typical, but not set in stone. The nature of the data being served to the web will guide you in what's needed and what can be omitted.

• BuildingPerl
• BuildingZlib
• BuildingOpenSSL
• BuildingLibtool
• BuildingLibJpeg
• BuildingLibTiff
• BuildingLibFreetype
• BuildingLibMM
• BuildingLibGdbm
• BuildingPostgreSQL

Obtaining

Pull down Apache from http://httpd.apache.org/ Unpack it under /cis/src/net as usual.

   cd /usr/local/src/net
   <... download httpd-2.0.46.tar.gz ...>
   gzip -dc httpd-2.0.46.tar.gz |tar xf -
   cd httpd-2.0.46

Pull down mod_perl from http://perl.apache.org/

Pull down PHP from http://www.php.net/ Grab the bcmath extension for PHP at http://www.php.net/extra/number4.tar.gz as well.

Solaris Installation

For most systems, the stock GNU layout is just fine. Review the config.layout file and ensure that it fits your needs. If you need something different, create a new layout and change GNU in the configuration below; don't edit the existing GNU layout entry.

Configure the Apache source tree.

   CC='cc -xtarget=ultra' CFLAGS=-O \
      CXX='CC -xtarget=ultra' CXXFLAGS=-O \
      F77='f77 -xtarget=ultra' F77FLAGS=-O \
      CPPFLAGS=-I/cis/include LDFLAGS='-L/cis/lib -R/cis/lib' \
         ./configure --enable-layout=GNU \
            --with-mpm=prefork --with-ndbm --with-gdbm \
            --enable-suexec \
            --with-suexec-safepath=/bin:/usr/bin:/cis/bin:/usr/local/bin \
            --enable-mods-shared=all 

Review the configuration log; if everything looks good, go ahead and build. If the build succeeds, install it.

   gmake
   gmake install

Set up an init script to start and stop it at runtime. Though Apache does come with examples, I prefer this one instead. Install this as /etc/init.d/httpd with mode 755.

   #!/bin/sh

   /bin/env -i HOME=/ \
      PATH=/bin:/cis/bin:/usr/local/bin \
      SHELL=/bin/sh \
      /usr/local/sbin/apachectl "$@"

   exit "$?"

Then, install the appropriate symlinks.

   ln -s ../init.d/httpd rc0.d/K16httpd
   ln -s ../init.d/httpd rc1.d/K16httpd
   ln -s ../init.d/httpd rc2.d/K16httpd
   ln -s ../init.d/httpd rcS.d/K16httpd
   ln -s ../init.d/httpd rc3.d/S50httpd

Now, you should probably go off and configure it by editing /usr/local/etc/apache2. Or, maybe you should BuildingModPerl or BuildPHP^? now.
