CSCI A348/548 Lab Notes Nine Fall 2000

This installation should last about 40 minutes.

1. Log into your burrowww account.

2. Make sure you're in the home directory (cd).

3. Remove your apache directory

rm -r ~/apache

4. Create a new, empty apache directory, and move there.

cd ~
mkdir apache
cd apache

5. Start netscape in the background (netscape &) then connect to:

http://www.apache.org

7. Click first link on the column at right, "Download".

8. Click on the last but one apache_1.3.14 link on the page that reads

[img] apache_1.3.14.tar.gz      10-Oct-2000 13:34   1.7M  1.3.14 gzipped source

/u/username/apache/apache_1.3.14.tar.gz

10. Exit Netscape.

11. You could also start by copying this from my account:

/u/dgerman/apache_1.3.14.tar.gz

13. Unpack the resulting archive using tar xvf as in the beginning.

14. From here on you will need to check your quota (quota -v) frequently, so do it now, once.

15. Remove the .tar file, check quota.

16. Go into the apache_1.3.14 directory and look around.

17. Use more to look at

1. ABOUT_APACHE
2. INSTALL
3. LICENSE
4. README

18. Run configure:

./configure --prefix=/u/username/apache/apache_1.3.14

| You now have successfully built and installed the      |
| Apache 1.3 HTTP server. To verify that Apache actually |
| works correctly you now should first check the         |
| (initially created or preserved) configuration files   |
|                                                        |

| Apache the first time by running:                      |

22. Configure httpd.conf in the new server's conf directory.

This file was generated automatically by the installation process.

(Copy it into httpd.conf-backup before making any changes.)

Here are the changes I made:

burrowww.cs.indiana.edu% diff httpd.conf httpd.conf-backup
76c76
< LockFile /tmp/apache1.3.14.lockfile.dgerman
---
> #LockFile /u/dgerman/apache/apache_1.3.14/logs/httpd.lock
238c238
< Port 11000
---
> Port 8080
252c252
< User dgerman
---
> User nobody
260c260
< ServerAdmin dgerman@indiana.edu
---
> ServerAdmin dgerman@burrowww.cs.indiana.edu
952,958d951

1. The LockFile directive (please be careful with that!)

   Use: /tmp/apache1.3.14.lockfile.username

2. The Port

   If your current port is 10xxx use 11xxx for the new server.

3. The User
4. The ServerAdmin address.

/u/username/apache/apache_1.3.14/bin/apachectl start

Here's mine. (Change your index.html accordingly).

Note: also try the Korean or Japanese version.

25. Add one line to your crontab that makes sure your new server is started (if necessary) every morning at 6am.

This concludes your in-lab assignment 4.

More to come soon.
