- Quote from "Statement Concerning CERN W3 Software Release Into Public
- Domain", dated 3 May, 1993:
-
- Declaration
-
- The following CERN software is hereby put into the public
- domain:
- - W3 basic ("line-mode") client
- - W3 basic server
- - W3 library of common code.
-
- CERN's intention in this is to further compatibility, common
- practices, and standards in networking and computer supported
- collaboration. This does not constitute a precedent to be
- applied to any other CERN copyright software.
-
- CERN relinquishes all intellectual property rights to this
- code, both source and binary form and permission is granted
- for anyone to use, duplicated, modify and redistribute it.
-
- CERN provides absolutely NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND with respect
- to this software. The entire risk as to the quality and
- performance of this software is with the user. IN NO EVENT
- WILL CERN BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT THE
- USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES
- RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL,
- INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
-
-
- THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:
- * source code under the WWW directory [where this README file is]
- To compile just type
-
- make
-
- and binaries will appear in Daemon/xxx where xxx is your host's
- architecture, like sun4 or next.
-
- * README-SOCKS explaining how to compile and use SOCKSified httpd
- * server_root/ directory containing:
- * Sample configuration files for httpd in config/
- - httpd.conf for normal use as HTTP server
- - prot.conf for normal use as HTTP server with access control
- - proxy.conf for proxy use without caching
- - caching.conf for proxy use with caching
- - all.conf that contains all the configuration directives
- understood by httpd
-
- * Sample icons in icons/
- - to be used for directory listings, and also for ftp listings
- when using httpd as a proxy
- - simplist way to make use of the icons is to define the
- server root directory to be server_root under this current
- directory [where this README file sits], by specifying in
- the configuration file:
-
- ServerRoot /what/ever/server_root
-
-
- ONLINE DOCUMENTATION for this software is in:
-
- http://info.cern.ch/httpd/
-
- PRECOMPILED BINARIES of this software are available for many platforms
- from:
- ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/www/bin
-
- If you have any PROBLEMS with this software, or find a BUG, contact:
-
- httpd@info.cern.ch
-
- Remember to run httpd in VERBOSE MODE [with the -v or -vv command line
- option] when things seem to be going wrong and attach the output to
- your mail message. This will make our job a lot easier.
-
- If httpd crashes and a core image is generated, run "dbx /path/httpd"
- and say "where" to see where the execution was when the program
- crashed.
-
- Have fun!
