Unit 12: Server Role: Linux as Web Server

If you see something like apache-1.3.9xxx, an Apache RPM has already been installed and you notes
can skip on to
\”Starting Apache\”.
If you don’t have an Apache RPM, you must obtain one. RedHat 6.x
Onwards ships with apache-1.x.x-x.i386.rpm in the RedHat/RPMS directory on the installation
CD. Or, point your Web browser at you throw tons of CGI scripts at it, while making database
calls at the same time, you\’re going to slow it down. Though much of the slowdown will come
from your scripts themselves, and not Apache.
These installation instructions assume
1. Commands are Unix-compatible.
2. The source path is /var/tmp, other paths are possible.
3. Installations were tested on Red Hat Linux 6.1 and 6.2.

4. All steps in the installation will happen in super-user account root.
5. Apache version number is 1.3.12
6. Mod_SSL version number is 2.6.4-1.3.12
7. Mod_Perl version number is 1.24

8. Mod_PHP version number is 4.0.0
Following table enlists the required action points for installing the Apache Web server
Apache Homepage: http://www.apache.org/ Mod_Perl Homepage: http://perl.apache.org/
Apache FTP Site: 63.211.145.10 Mod_Perl FTP Site: 63.211.145.10
You must be sure to download: apache_1.3.12. You must be sure to download: mod_perl-1.24.tar.gz
tar.gz
Mod_SSL Homepage: http://www.modssl.org/ Mod_PHP Homepage: http://www.php.net/
Mod_SSL FTP Site: 129.132.7.171 You must be sure to download: php-4.0.0.tar.gz
You must be sure to download: mod_ssl-2.6.4-
1.3.12.tar.gz
And don’t forget that these are the basics if you are following the steps described by us exactly.
1. OpenSSL should be previously installed on your system if you want Apache and SSL
encryption support.

2. PosgreSQL supposed to be already installed on your system if you want Apache and
PostgreSQL database connectivity support.
3. MM should be already installed on your system if you want Apache and MM high-
performance RAM-based session cache support.
4. OpenLDAP should be already installed on your system if you want Apache and LDAP
directory connectivity support.
5. IMAP & POP should be already installed on your system if you want Apache and IMAP &
POP capability.
Before you decompress the tarballs, It is a good plan to make a list of files on the system before
you install Apache, and one afterwards, and then compare them using diff to find out what file
it placed where. Simply run find /* > Apache1 before and find /* > Apache2 after you install the
software, and use diff Apache1 Apache2 > Apache-Installed to get a list of what changed.
