CSCI A348/548 Lecture Notes One Spring 2001 (Second semester 2000-2001)

This installation should last about 40 minutes.

1. Log into your burrowww account.

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

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

cd ~
mkdir apache
cd apache

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

http://www.apache.org

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

7. Click on the 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

8. The dialog window that will pop up should offer to save the file as

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

9. Exit Netscape.

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

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

12. Unpack the resulting archive using tar (with xvf as command-line switches).

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

14. Remove the .tar file, check quota.

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

16. Use more to look at

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

17. Run configure:

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

21. 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

< Port 20000

> Port 8080

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

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

2. The Port

   Your port will be 20xxx as listed on the students page.

3. The User

   Please use your username.

4. The ServerAdmin address.

   Use your @indiana.edu 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.

24. Set your crontab for your server to be re-started (gracefully) every morning at 8:10am.
