APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

  For complete installation documentation, see docs/manual/install.html or

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html

  Quick Start - Unix

  ------------------

  Quick Start

  -----------

  For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html

     $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX

     $ make

  The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.0

  is to run ./configure --help.

  Quick Start - Windows

  ---------------------

  For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html.

  The Apache/Win32 binaries are primarily distributed as a Windows Installer 

  package (.msi), and may be available as a .zip file as well.  These packages 

  are named apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.0.xx-win32-x86.zip.  

  Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.

  If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.0-xx.zip, without

  any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links

  mentioned above.  Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the 

  binary package from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ and

  install that .msi (or .zip package, if you must.)

  If you have unpacked this binary distribution from the .zip package, you 

  _must_ edit the conf/httpd.conf file (with notepad or another text editor) 

  to reflect the correct ServerName, Domain, and directory paths.  Search for 

  the text "@@" to discover what you must edit.  To install and start the 

  service after you have corrected the httpd.conf file, use the command

    bin\Apache -k install

    bin\Apache -k start

  The .msi package configures the httpd.conf file, and installs and starts 

  the Apache2 service for you.  We strongly encourage you to use it.

  Postscript

  ----------

  The Apache HTTP Server group cannot field user's installation questions.

  There are many valuable forums to help you get started.  Please refer your

  questions to the appropriate forum, such as the user supported newsgroups

  comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix and comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows.

  Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.0.
