Second Summer 2009

The steps are listed below.

1. Log into silo.

2. This next step is optional.

   If you have already installed Apache:

   Stop it:
   ~/apache/bin/apachectl stop

   Wipe out the installation folder:
   yes | rm -ir ~/apache/

   Clean up the nobackup folder of previous installation files:
   yes | rm -ir /nobackup/username/httpd*

   (Note: username denotes, as always, denotes your actual username).

   Now you can start the installation process.

3. Create your nobackup folder:

   makenobackup

4. Move there:

   cd /nobackup/username

   Please replace username with your actual username.

5. Optional: Type pwd to make sure you're indeed in that folder.

6. Copy the compressed archive from the class repository into your nobackup folder:

   cp /l/www/classes/a348/sum2006/software/httpd-2.2.2.tar.gz .

   Don't forget the period at the end of the command (it's indicating the current folder).

7. Uncompress the compressed archive:

   gunzip httpd-2.2.2.tar.gz

8. Unarchive the uncompressed archive:

   tar xvf httpd-2.2.2.tar

   This results in a new folder being created, with lots of files being placed in it.

   The new folder's absolute path is: /nobackup/username/httpd-2.2.2

   (Note: as always username denotes your actual username.)

9. Move into this new folder:

   cd /nobackup/username/httpd-2.2.2

   (Note: username denotes, as always, your actual username.)

10. Type the following command and wait until it's done:

    ./configure --prefix=/u/username/apache --enable-so

    (Note: username denotes, as always, your actual username.)

    This configures your installation.

11. Now type the following command and wait until it's done:

    make

    This actually compiles the source files as configured.

12. Finally type the following command and wait until it's done:

    make install

    (Note: if you need to redo these steps: 10, 11, 12, you need to start with make clean).

13. Move to the ~/apache folder that has your Apache installation:

    cd ~/apache

14. Move into the conf folder and open httpd.conf for editing:

    cd conf
    pico httpd.conf

15. Go to line 40 and replace: Listen 80 with Listen 44xxx

    (Note: 44xxx denotes your port number, see below. For example, mine is 44063).

16. Go to line 64 and replace the line User nobody with User username.

    (Note: username denotes your actual username, and daemon could be there instead of nobody).

17. Exit httpd.conf and start your server:

    ~/apache/bin/apachectl restart

    Now your server should be running and accessible from one of the links below:

18. Go into ~/apache/htdocs and edit your index.html file:

    pico ~/apache/htdocs/index.html

19. Go into ~/apache/cgi-bin/ and create this program:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    print "Content=type: text/html\n\n";
    
    $a = localtime;
    
    print $a;

    Call it one. Before you run it make it executable: chmod 700 ~/apache/cgi-bin/one

    Access it from the web at http://silo.cs.indiana.edu:44xxx/cgi-bin/one

    Note: 44xxx denotes your port, as listed above.
