<h2><a name="requirements" id="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>

    <p>The following requirements exist for building Apache httpd:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <dl>
 | 
						|
      <dt>Disk Space</dt>
 | 
						|
      <dd>Make sure you have at least 50 MB of temporary free disk
 | 
						|
      space available. After installation the server occupies
 | 
						|
      approximately 10 MB of disk space. The actual disk space
 | 
						|
      requirements will vary considerably based on your chosen
 | 
						|
      configuration options, any third-party modules, and, of course,
 | 
						|
      the size of the web site or sites that you have on the server.</dd>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <dt>ANSI-C Compiler and Build System</dt>
 | 
						|
      <dd>Make sure you have an ANSI-C compiler installed. The <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">GNU C
 | 
						|
      compiler (GCC)</a> from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Free Software Foundation (FSF)</a>
 | 
						|
      is recommended. If you don't have GCC
 | 
						|
      then at least make sure your vendor's compiler is ANSI
 | 
						|
      compliant. In addition, your <code>PATH</code> must contain
 | 
						|
      basic build tools such as <code>make</code>.</dd>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <dt>Accurate time keeping</dt>
 | 
						|
      <dd>Elements of the HTTP protocol are expressed as the time of
 | 
						|
      day. So, it's time to investigate setting some time
 | 
						|
      synchronization facility on your system. Usually the
 | 
						|
      <code>ntpdate</code> or <code>xntpd</code> programs are used for
 | 
						|
      this purpose which are based on the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
 | 
						|
      See the <a href="http://www.ntp.org">NTP
 | 
						|
      homepage</a> for more details about NTP software and public
 | 
						|
      time servers.</dd>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <dt><a href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl 5</a>
 | 
						|
      [OPTIONAL]</dt>
 | 
						|
      <dd>For some of the support scripts like <code class="program"><a href="./programs/apxs.html">apxs</a></code> or <code class="program"><a href="./programs/dbmmanage.html">dbmmanage</a></code> (which are
 | 
						|
      written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions
 | 
						|
      5.003 or newer are sufficient). If you have multiple Perl
 | 
						|
      interpreters (for example, a systemwide install of Perl 4, and
 | 
						|
      your own install of Perl 5), you are advised to use the
 | 
						|
      <code>--with-perl</code> option (see below) to make sure the
 | 
						|
      correct one is used by <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>.
 | 
						|
      If no Perl 5 interpreter is found by the
 | 
						|
      <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script, you will not be able to use
 | 
						|
      the affected support scripts. Of course, you will still be able to
 | 
						|
      build and use Apache httpd.</dd>

<h2><a name="download" id="download">Download</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The Apache HTTP Server can be downloaded from the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi">Apache HTTP Server
 | 
						|
    download site</a>, which lists several mirrors.  Most users of
 | 
						|
    Apache on unix-like systems will be better off downloading and
 | 
						|
    compiling a source version.  The build process (described below) is
 | 
						|
    easy, and it allows you to customize your server to suit your needs.
 | 
						|
    In addition, binary releases are often not up to date with the latest
 | 
						|
    source releases.  If you do download a binary, follow the instructions
 | 
						|
    in the <code>INSTALL.bindist</code> file inside the distribution.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>After downloading, it is important to verify that you have a
 | 
						|
    complete and unmodified version of the Apache HTTP Server. This
 | 
						|
    can be accomplished by testing the downloaded tarball against the
 | 
						|
    PGP signature.  Details on how to do this are available on the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#verify">download
 | 
						|
    page</a> and an extended example is available describing the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/dev/verification.html">use of
 | 
						|
    PGP</a>.</p>

<div class="section">

<h2><a name="extract" id="extract">Extract</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Extracting the source from the Apache HTTP Server tarball is a
 | 
						|
    simple matter of uncompressing, and then untarring:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
$ gzip -d httpd-<em>NN</em>.tar.gz<br />
 | 
						|
$ tar xvf httpd-<em>NN</em>.tar
 | 
						|
</code></p></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>This will create a new directory under the current directory
 | 
						|
    containing the source code for the distribution. You should
 | 
						|
    <code>cd</code> into that directory before proceeding with
 | 
						|
    compiling the server.</p>
 | 
						|
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div>

<div class="section">
 | 
						|
<h2><a name="configure" id="configure">Configuring the source tree</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The next step is to configure the Apache source tree for your
 | 
						|
    particular platform and personal requirements. This is done using
 | 
						|
    the script <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> included in
 | 
						|
    the root directory of the distribution. (Developers downloading
 | 
						|
    an unreleased version of the Apache source tree will need to have
 | 
						|
    <code>autoconf</code> and <code>libtool</code> installed and will
 | 
						|
    need to run <code>buildconf</code> before proceeding with the next
 | 
						|
    steps. This is not necessary for official releases.)</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>To configure the source tree using all the default options,
 | 
						|
    simply type <code>./configure</code>. To change the default
 | 
						|
    options, <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> accepts a variety of variables
 | 
						|
    and command line options.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The most important option is the location <code>--prefix</code>
 | 
						|
    where Apache is to be installed later, because Apache has to be
 | 
						|
    configured for this location to work correctly.  More fine-tuned
 | 
						|
    control of the location of files is possible with additional <a href="programs/configure.html#installationdirectories">configure
 | 
						|
    options</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Also at this point, you can specify which <a href="programs/configure.html#optionalfeatures">features</a> you
 | 
						|
    want included in Apache by enabling and disabling <a href="mod/">modules</a>.  Apache comes with a wide range of modules
 | 
						|
    included by default.  They will be compiled as
 | 
						|
    <a href="dso.html">shared objects (DSOs)</a> which can be loaded
 | 
						|
    or unloaded at runtime.
 | 
						|
    You can also choose to compile modules statically by using the option
 | 
						|
    <code>--enable-<var>module</var>=static</code>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Additional modules are enabled using the
 | 
						|
    <code>--enable-<var>module</var></code> option, where
 | 
						|
    <var>module</var> is the name of the module with the
 | 
						|
    <code>mod_</code> string removed and with any underscore converted
 | 
						|
    to a dash.  Similarly, you can disable modules with the
 | 
						|
    <code>--disable-<var>module</var></code> option.  Be careful when
 | 
						|
    using these options, since <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> cannot warn you
 | 
						|
    if the module you specify does not exist; it will simply ignore the
 | 
						|
    option.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>In addition, it is sometimes necessary to provide the
 | 
						|
    <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script with extra information about the
 | 
						|
    location of your compiler, libraries, or header files.  This is
 | 
						|
    done by passing either environment variables or command line
 | 
						|
    options to <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>.  For more information, see the
 | 
						|
    <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> manual page. Or invoke
 | 
						|
    <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> using the <code>--help</code> option.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here
 | 
						|
    is a typical example which compiles Apache for the installation
 | 
						|
    tree <code>/sw/pkg/apache</code> with a particular compiler and flags
 | 
						|
    plus the two additional modules <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> and
 | 
						|
    <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_lua.html">mod_lua</a></code>:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
      $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \<br />
 | 
						|
       ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \<br />
 | 
						|
       --enable-ldap=shared \<br />
 | 
						|
       --enable-lua=shared
 | 
						|
</code></p></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>When <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> is run it will take several minutes to
 | 
						|
    test for the availability of features on your system and build
 | 
						|
    Makefiles which will later be used to compile the server.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Details on all the different <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> options are
 | 
						|
    available on the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> manual page.</p>

    <p>Please be patient here, since a base configuration takes

<h2><a name="upgrading" id="upgrading">Upgrading</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The first step in upgrading is to read the release announcement
 | 
						|
    and the file <code>CHANGES</code> in the source distribution to
 | 
						|
    find any changes that may affect your site.  When changing between
 | 
						|
    major releases (for example, from 2.0 to 2.2 or from 2.2 to 2.3),
 | 
						|
    there will likely be major differences in the compile-time and
 | 
						|
    run-time configuration that will require manual adjustments.  All
 | 
						|
    modules will also need to be upgraded to accomodate changes in the
 | 
						|
    module API.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Upgrading from one minor version to the next (for example, from
 | 
						|
    2.2.55 to 2.2.57) is easier.  The <code>make install</code>
 | 
						|
    process will not overwrite any of your existing documents, log
 | 
						|
    files, or configuration files.  In addition, the developers make
 | 
						|
    every effort to avoid incompatible changes in the
 | 
						|
    <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> options, run-time configuration, or the
 | 
						|
    module API between minor versions.  In most cases you should be able to
 | 
						|
    use an identical <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> command line, an identical
 | 
						|
    configuration file, and all of your modules should continue to
 | 
						|
    work.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>To upgrade across minor versions, start by finding the file
 | 
						|
    <code>config.nice</code> in the <code>build</code> directory of
 | 
						|
    your installed server or at the root of the source tree for your
 | 
						|
    old install.  This will contain the exact
 | 
						|
    <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> command line that you used to
 | 
						|
    configure the source tree.  Then to upgrade from one version to
 | 
						|
    the next, you need only copy the <code>config.nice</code> file to
 | 
						|
    the source tree of the new version, edit it to make any desired
 | 
						|
    changes, and then run:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
    $ ./config.nice<br />
 | 
						|
    $ make<br />
 | 
						|
    $ make install<br />
 | 
						|
    $ <em>PREFIX</em>/bin/apachectl -k graceful-stop<br />
 | 
						|
    $ <em>PREFIX</em>/bin/apachectl -k start<br />
 | 
						|
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="warning">You should always test any new version in your
 | 
						|
    environment before putting it into production.  For example, you
 | 
						|
    can install and run the new version along side the old one by
 | 
						|
    using a different <code>--prefix</code> and a
 | 
						|
    different port (by adjusting the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directive) to test for any
 | 
						|
    incompatibilities before doing the final upgrade.</div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>You can pass additional arguments to <code>config.nice</code>,
 | 
						|
    which will be appended to your original <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>
 | 
						|
    options:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
    $ ./config.nice --prefix=/home/test/apache --with-port=90
 |

    <p>Our software license not only permits, but encourages, this kind

    of redistribution. However, it does result in a situation where the

    configuration layout and defaults on your installation of the server
 | 
						|
    may differ from what is stated in the documentation. While

    unfortunate, this situation is not likely to change any time

    <p>A <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout">description
