Summary - Apache httpd build on Linux

For 2023 - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

As a regular user:

1002 tar xzf httpd-2.2.10.tar.gz
1003 cd httpd-2.2.10
1004 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_2.2.10 \
   --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-proxy \
   --enable-proxy-http --enable-proxy-ajp \
   --enable-proxy-balancer
1005 make
1006 pwd
1007 su -

As the administrator:

1001 cd /home/trainee/httpd-2.2.10
1002 make install
1006 cd /usr/local/apache_2.2.10/
1009 ./bin/apachectl start

The numbers given in the example above are the history numbers taken from a recent install.

If you are deploying a LAMP system, you would follow this with:

• A MySQL installation
• A PHP Installation

Notes

a) The options selected in the above example build an httpd suitable for the later installation of PHP, and with mod_proxy connectors allowing it to talk to Tomcat to run Java applications

b) Directory names and locations given are examples

c) You may need to close down a previous installation of httpd before you start this one.

d) Configuration will be necessary in addition to the above steps, which will simply give you a bare web server with a single page that says "It works"

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
