Apache HTTP Server 2.0.35 GA

Advertisement (Why?)

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since 1996. The Apache project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT.

What's New:

On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This improves scalability for many, but not all configurations
The build system has been rewritten from scratch to be based on autoconf and libtool
Apache now has some of the infrastructure in place to support serving multiple protocols. mod_echo has been written as an example
The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0
On systems where IPv6 is supported by the underlying Apache Portable Runtime library, Apache gets IPv6 listening sockets by default
Apache modules may now be written as filters which act on the stream of content as it is delivered to or from the server
Many confusing directives have been simplified

This is BETA software!, please use caution when installing it on your system

The software is targeted towards large enterprise customers which use PDAs and must protect the data contained in those devices, such as government agencies and hospitals. For example, nurses at a hospital could have patient records uploaded to their Microdrive overnight, and then transferred via the Microdrive from a central PC to their PDA when they arrive in the morning, providing them with a detailed list of patient information for their daily rounds. U.S. federal regulations require that personal information stored by health-care providers be secured.

PDASecure can encrypt some or all of a user's files by converting the files into ciphertext, which is unreadable unless unlocked through a username and password, the company said. The encryption process was derived from a military-grade security algorithm developed by the company, Shahbazi said.

The software works on devices running Palmsource Inc.'s Palm OS, and Microsoft Corp.'s Pocket PC and Windows CE operating systems, said Shahbazi. A version for Research in Motion Ltd.'s Blackberry devices will be released by the end of the month, he said.

PDASecure is currently available worldwide. Large enterprises will pay US$79 for a single license and $999 for the server-side software package. Single users can buy the software to encrypt their personal Microdrives for $29.99, the company said.

For Apache 2.0.35 there is no binary release (newbies may refer to as *.msi) available at this time. Since Apache 2.0.34 is just as good, and Apache does not have a binary build on its servers, I know of the Apache 2.0.34 binary release & the install process which will work just as fine for those of you that wish not to compile the Apache 2.0.35 source release due to a lack in knowledge of compiling source distributions. These are the simple steps to install Apache 2.0.34...Follow these steps carefully or you will screw it up! It's not that hard to do. Just be sure and GO OVER these steps COMPLETELY and do not just SKIM through them like the norm seems to do... 1.) Grab the Apache 2.0.34 zip [url=http://www.pcp-computer.de/gkn/apache/httpd-2.0/win32/httpd-2.0_20020312051226-w32.zip]here[/url] & unpack it to C:Apache2 (be sure and replace C: with the current drive letter that corresponds with your current Windows Installation. 2.) Go to your start menu and click 'run' & type in 'cmd.exe' (without the quotes of course) and you should do the following DOS commands...It's pretty self-explanatory, if you get confused, you don't need to be installing Apache due to your lack of knowledge in things that deal with more than the simple Click OK or Cancel method. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:Documents and Settingsr00t>cd C:>cd apache2 C:Apache2>cd bin C:Apache2bin>Apache -k install Installing the Apache2 service The Apache2 service is successfully installed. C:Apache2bin>exit 3.)Now your DOS command prompt window should have closed and you may now go to your C:Apache2conf directory and open httpd.conf in notepad (right click the file and select open with and choose Notepad). Now read through the file carefully and set your settings as to how you see best fit for your system configuration. 4.) Now that we have the httpd.conf file setup, we can now use Apache2 as a service. To do this in windows, go to your start menu and then your control panel. Be sure and run it in Classic mode (option is available via the top-left hand corner of the control panel explorer window) so you don't have to go through the Control Panel for retards mode. Now select Administrative Tools and open 'Services'. I hope you have seen this before, if not, now is a good time to recognize that it is there! If you installed Apache2 correctly, you should see on the right-hand column an entry entitled 'Apache2'. Right click on the entry 'Apache2' and select 'Start'. As you can see there are more optionsto choose, use these at your own risk. In conclusion, if you successfully got Apache2 to start as a service you can now go about your business. I suggest reading the manual located within the C:Apache2manual directory to understand more about what you are getting into. If your install failed, redo the steps above until it doesn't fail.

Or, if it fails more than 10 times, go over the C:Apache2manual directory and use common sense in finding a feasable solution.

But what if you already got 1.3.24 running

#6 brn2prgrm on 06 Apr 2002 - 18:07

Does anyone know how to use rulesets for mod_rewrite in the Windows version? I got the code but don't know where to put it.

#7 orphic on 06 Apr 2002 - 18:32

You need to get the base for it: module/source/config settings, then set it up to run correctly in your httpd.cong file...Try reading the packed-full apache manuals available.... ;D

Also peeps...Another way you might think about using Apache is to get Cygwin (a Unix API ported under Win32 based platforms). Go grab a copy at http://www.cygwin.com - It is free of course, like most solutions that are *nix related. Cygwin, MySQL, & PHP run quite smoothly on Cygwin, & Cygwin recognizes your internet connection via Wind0ze. So, if you're a newbie, you don't have to go through alot of the basic setup...KDE 3.0 will even compile under Cygwin if you are using XFree86 along with the Cygwin distribution. ;D

anyone know if it works better with PHP? With 1.3.24, the "Server API" for PHP was "Apache" and it used DLLs. With 2.0.x, it was just CGI, like what it would be with the IIS.

#9.1 timdorr on 07 Apr 2002 - 08:46

well, I thought it wasn't officially supported under 2.0 yet, but who knows now...

(1 reply) #10 pringlex on 07 Apr 2002 - 18:03

can anyone who has compiled it e-mail it me or host it somewhere please? I can't find 2.0.34 anywhere

thanks

#10.1 ElGato on 07 Apr 2002 - 20:46

2.0.34 is at that link that orphic supplied @ #5
