- Apache
- Version 1.3 (and up)
-
- What is it?
- -----------
-
- Apache is an HTTP server, originally designed for Unix systems. This
- is the version of Apache for Microsoft Windows NT, 98, and 95
- systems. Like the Unix version, it includes many frequently
- requested new features, and has an API that allows it to be extended
- to meet users' needs more easily. It also allows ISAPI extensions.
-
-
- The Latest Version
- ------------------
-
- Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP
- server project page under http://www.apache.org/.
-
- Documentation
- -------------
-
- The documentation available as of the date of this release is
- also included, in HTML format, in the htdocs/manual/ directory.
- For the most up-to-date documentation can be found on
- http://www.apache.org/docs/. For Windows specific information, see
- http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html.
-
- WARNING
- -------
-
- Apache on Win32 has not yet been optimized for performance. Apache
- still performs best, and is most reliable on Unix platforms. Over
- time we will improve performance for Windows NT. Folks doing
- comparative reviews of webserver performance are asked to compare
- against Apache on a Unix platform such as Solaris, FreeBSD, or
- Linux.
-
- Apache on Win32 should still be considered beta quality code. It
- does not meet the normal standards of stability and security that
- Unix releases do.
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- If you have installed Apache as a pre-compiled binary, you can
- now run the server by selecting "Start Apache as console app"
- from the Start menu. You can configure Apache for your system
- by editing the file conf/httpd.conf in the directory where you
- installed Apache.
-
- See the http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html for details of how
- to run and configure Apache, or select the "Apache Documentation"
- icon read the local copy installed with Apache.
-
- Known Problems
- --------------
-
- To get information about the current set of known problems, see the
- online bug reporting database at
- http://www.apache.org/bug_report.html. Bugs which affect Apache on
- Windows and not Apache on Unix can be found under the category
- "os-windows".
