APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW For complete installation documentation, see docs/manual/install.html or http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html Quick Start ----------- $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX $ make $ make install $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which Apache should be installed. A typical installation might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the quotes). * If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default, as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use "./configure --enable-threads". * If you are a developer building Apache directly from CVS, you will need to run ./buildconf before running configure. For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading through the DSO mechanism: $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \ ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \ --enable-rewrite=shared \ --enable-speling=shared The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.0 is to run ./configure --help.
