System requirements
Downloading and installing Apache
-
Create the Apache accounting structure:
-
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
-
:NEWACCT APACHE,MGR;CAP=AL,ND,SF,IA,BA,PH,PM;PASS=YOURPASS
-
:ALTGROUP PUB.APACHE;ACCESS=(R,L,X:AC;W,A,S:AL)
-
:NEWUSER WWW.APACHE;HOME=PUB;CAP=ND,SF,IA,BA,PH
-
:HELLO MGR.APACHE
-
Download the Apache binary and directory structure:
-
Gzipped tar file of Apache
for 6.0
-
Transfer the gzipped tar file to your HP3000 in the PUB group of the
APACHE account.
-
Uncompress and extract the tar file:
-
Run the POSIX shell:
:SH or :XEQ SH.HPBIN.SYS -L
-
shell> gunzip ap_133.tar.gz
-
shell> tar -xvof ap_133.tar
-
Running Apache
Edit the configuration files (httpd.conf, access.conf, and srm.conf) in
/APACHE/PUB/conf to change the pre-configured run-time configuration.
You must replace ServerAdmin and ServerName in httpd.conf with your own
server's name. You may also choose to make other changes. The
three corresponding conf/*-dist files contain the official Apache distributed
configuration files. Configuration files are read by the web server (HTTPD)
at startup so you must (re)start the web server for any changes to
take effect.
:STREAM JHTTPD.PUB.APACHE to start the web server.
Verify that Apache is running:
-
Access the Apache Groups' Welcome Page from your browser by entering http://yourhostname
-
Access the home page of MGR.APACHE from your browser by entering http://yourhostname/~MGR.APACHE
-
Look at the online Apache 1.3.3 documentation at http://yourhostname/manual
Execute :ABORTJOB or kill `cat ./logs/httpd.pid` to stop Apache
Known problems
Access denied to document - your browser may randomly receive
an
access denied error to documents to which it should have access.
This
is an fopen() defect that is currently under investigation.
Overwritten output from Pascal and COBOL CGI programs - CGI
programs written in Pascal or COBOL will have their output lines written
on top of each other. This problem is currently under investigation.
MPE/iX-specific behavior
Echo not disabled - when using htpasswd to create an authentication
file of
users and passwords, the password is echoed to the screen. This
cannot be disabled.
