Modified: htdocs/manual dso.html new_features_1_3.html htdocs/manual/mod core.html Added: conf httpd.conf-dist.nw htdocs/manual netware.html Log: Documentation for the Netware port Submitted by: Mike Gardiner Revision Changes Path 1.1 apache-1.3/conf/httpd.conf-dist.nw Index: httpd.conf-dist.nw =================================================================== # # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool. # # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/> for detailed information about # the directives. # # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # After this file is processed, the server will look for and process # sys:/apache/conf/srm.conf and then sys:/apache/conf/access.conf # unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or # AccessConfig directives here. # # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections: # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a # whole (the 'global environment'). # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server, # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host. # These directives also provide default values for the settings # of all virtual hosts. # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the # same Apache server process. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32 and # sys:/ for NetWare), the server will use that explicit path. If the # filenames do *not* begin with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended # -- so "logs/foo.log" with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/apache" will be # interpreted by the server as "/usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log". # ### Section 1: Global Environment # # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache, # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it # can find its configuration files. # # # ServerType is either inetd, or standalone. Inetd mode is only supported on # Unix platforms. # ServerType standalone # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network) # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation # (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>); # you will save yourself a lot of trouble. # # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # ServerRoot "sys:/apache" # # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process # identification number when it starts. # PidFile logs/httpd.pid # # ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information. # Not all architectures require this. But if yours does (you'll know because # this file will be created when you run Apache) then you *must* ensure that # no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file. # ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_status # # In the standard configuration, the server will process this file, # srm.conf, and access.conf in that order. The latter two files are # now distributed empty, as it is recommended that all directives # be kept in a single file for simplicity. The commented-out values # below are the built-in defaults. You can have the server ignore # these files altogether by using "/dev/null" (for Unix) or # "nul" (for Win32) for the arguments to the directives. # #ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf #AccessConfig conf/access.conf # # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out. # Timeout 300 # # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate. # KeepAlive On # # MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow # during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount. # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance. # MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 # # KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the # same client on the same connection. # KeepAliveTimeout 15 # # Number of concurrent threads (i.e., requests) the server will allow. # Set this value according to the responsiveness of the server (more # requests active at once means they're all handled more slowly) and # the amount of system resources you'll allow the server to consume. # ThreadsPerChild 50 # # When NetWare creates a thread you need to specify the stack size. # You may need to increase this if you get stack overflows. # ThreadStackSize 65536 ThreadStackSize 65536 # # MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is # allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so # as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the # libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this # isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks # in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000 # or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited. # # NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial # request per connection. For example, if a child process handles # an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it # would only count as 1 request towards this limit. # MaxRequestsPerChild 0 # # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost> # directive. # #Listen 3000 #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 # # BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This directive # is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either # contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name. # See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives. # #BindAddress * # # Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support # # To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you # have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the # directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used. # Please read the file README.DSO in the Apache 1.3 distribution for more # details about the DSO mechanism and run `httpd -l' for the list of already # built-in (statically linked and thus always available) modules in your httpd # binary. # # Note: The order is which modules are loaded is important. Don't change # the order below without expert advice. # LoadModule anon_auth_module modules/authanon # LoadModule cern_meta_module modules/cernmeta # LoadModule digest_module modules/digest # LoadModule expires_module modules/expires # LoadModule headers_module modules/headers # LoadModule proxy_module modules/proxy # LoadModule rewrite_module modules/rewrite # LoadModule speling_module modules/speling # LoadModule status_module modules/status # LoadModule info_module modules/info # LoadModule usertrack_module modules/usrtrack # # ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate "full" status # information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus # Off) when the "server-status" handler is called. The default is Off. # #ExtendedStatus On ### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration # # The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main' # server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a # <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for # any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file. # # All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers, # in which case these default settings will be overridden for the # virtual host being defined. # # # Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. For # ports < 1023, you will need httpd to be run as root initially. # Port 80 # # ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be # e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such # as error documents. # ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for # your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use # "www" instead of the host's real name). # # Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you # define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand # this, ask your network administrator. # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/) # anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way. # ServerName 123.45.67.89 # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. # DocumentRoot "sys:/apache/htdocs" # # Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect # to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that # directory (and its subdirectories). # # First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of # permissions. # <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> # # Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow # particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as # you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it # below. # # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "sys:/apache/htdocs"> # # This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes", # "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews". # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override.

Since .htaccess files often contain authorization # information, access is disallowed for security reasons. Comment # these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of # .htaccess files. If you change the AccessFileName directive above, # be sure to make the corresponding changes here. # # Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password # files, so this will protect those as well. # <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> # # CacheNegotiatedDocs: By default, Apache sends "Pragma: no-cache" with each # document that was negotiated on the basis of content. This asks proxy # servers not to cache the document. Uncommenting the following line disables # this behavior, and proxies will be allowed to cache the documents. # #CacheNegotiatedDocs # # UseCanonicalName: (new for 1.3) With this setting turned on, whenever # Apache needs to construct a self-referencing URL (a URL that refers back # to the server the response is coming from) it will use ServerName and # Port to form a "canonical" name. With this setting off, Apache will # use the hostname:port that the client supplied, when possible. This # also affects SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGI scripts. # UseCanonicalName On # # TypesConfig describes where the mime.types file (or equivalent) is # to be found. # TypesConfig conf/mime.types # # DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document # if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions. # If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is # a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications # or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to # keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are # text. # DefaultType text/plain # # The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the # contents of the file itself to determine its type. The MIMEMagicFile # directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located. # mod_mime_magic is not part of the default server (you have to add # it yourself with a LoadModule [see the DSO paragraph in the 'Global # Environment' section], or recompile the server and include mod_mime_magic # as part of the configuration), so it's enclosed in an <IfModule> container. # This means that the MIMEMagicFile directive will only be processed if the # module is part of the server. # <IfModule mod_mime_magic.c> MIMEMagicFile conf/magic </IfModule> # # HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses # e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off). # The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people # had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that # each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the # nameserver. # HostnameLookups Off # # ErrorLog: The location of the error log file. # If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost> # container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be # logged here.

An install program will be posted at a later date. <P> Follow these steps to install Apache on NetWare (assuming you will install to sys:/apache): <UL> <LI>Create a directory called <CODE>Apache</CODE> on a NetWare volume <LI>Copy Apache.nlm, Apachec.nlm, htdigest.nlm, and htpasswd.nlm to sys:/apache <LI>Create a directory under <CODE>sys:/Apache</CODE> called <CODE>conf</CODE> <LI>Copy all the *.conf-dist-nw files to the <CODE>sys:/apache/conf</CODE> directory and rename them all as *.conf files <LI>Copy the mime.types and magic files to sys:/apache/conf directory <LI>Copy all files and subdirectories of \apache-1.3\htdocs to sys:/apache/htdocs and rename the proper index file (index.html.en) to index.html <LI>Copy all files and subdirectories in \apache-1.3\icons to sys:/apache/icons <LI>Create the directory sys:/apache/logs on the server <LI>Create the directory sys:/apache/cgi-bin on the server <LI>Create the directory sys:/apache/modules and copy all nlm modules built into the modules directory <LI>Edit the httpd.conf file setting ServerRoot and ServerName to reflect your correct server settings <LI>Add <CODE>sys:/apache</CODE> to the search path. EXAMPLE: search add sys:\apache </UL> <P>Apache may be installed to other volumes besides the default <CODE>sys</CODE> volume. <H2><A NAME="run">Running Apache for NetWare</A></H2> To start Apache just type <STRONG>apache</STRONG> at the console. This will load apache in the OS address space. If you prefer to load Apache in a protected address space you may specify the address space with the load statement as follows: <P> <PRE> load address space = apache apache </PRE> <P> This will load Apache into an address space called apache. Running multiple instances of Apache concurrently on NetWare is possible by loading each instance into its own protected address space. <P> After starting Apache it will be listening to port 80 (unless you changed the <SAMP>Port</SAMP>, <SAMP>Listen</SAMP> or <SAMP>BindAddress</SAMP> directives in the configuration files). To connect to the server and access the default page, launch a browser and enter the server's name or address. This should respond with a welcome page, and a link to the Apache manual. If nothing happens or you get an error, look in the <SAMP>error_log</SAMP> file in the <SAMP>logs</SAMP> directory. <P> Once your basic installation is working, you should configure it properly by editing the files in the <SAMP>conf</SAMP> directory. <P> To unload Apache running in the OS address space just type the following at the console: <PRE> unload apache </PRE> If apache is running in a protected address space specify the address space in the unload statement: <PRE> unload address space = apache apache </PRE> <P> When working with Apache it is important to know how it will find the configuration files. You can specify a configuration file on the command line in two ways: <UL> <LI>-f specifies a path to a particular configuration file </UL> <PRE> apache -f "vol:/my server/conf/my.conf"</PRE> <PRE> apache -f test/test.conf</PRE> In these cases, the proper ServerRoot should be set in the configuration file. <P> If you don't specify a configuration file name with -f, Apache will use the file name compiled into the server, usually "conf/httpd.conf". Invoking Apache with the -V switch will display this value labeled as SERVER_CONFIG_FILE. Apache will then determine its ServerRoot by trying the following, in this order: <UL> <LI>A ServerRoot directive via a -C switch. <LI>The -d switch on the command line. <LI>Current working directory <LI>The server root compiled into the server. </UL> <P> The server root compiled into the server is usually "sys:/apache". invoking apache with the -V switch will display this value labeled as HTTPD_ROOT. <H2><A NAME="use">Configuring Apache for NetWare</A></H2> Apache is configured by files in the <SAMP>conf</SAMP> directory. These are the same as files used to configure the Unix version, but there are a few different directives for Apache on NetWare. See the <A HREF="./">Apache documentation</A> for all the available directives. <P> The main differences in Apache for NetWare are: <UL> <LI><P>Because Apache for NetWare is multithreaded, it does not use a separate process for each request, as Apache does with Unix. Instead there are only threads running: a parent thread, and a child which handles the requests. Within the child each request is handled by a separate thread. <P> So the "process"-management directives are different: <P><A HREF="mod/core.html#maxrequestsperchild">MaxRequestsPerChild</A> - Like the Unix directive, this controls how many requests a process will serve before exiting. However, unlike Unix, a process serves all the requests at once, not just one, so if this is set, it is recommended that a very high number is used. The recommended default, <CODE>MaxRequestsPerChild 0</CODE>, does not cause the process to ever exit. <P><A HREF="mod/core.html#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</A> - This directive is new, and tells the server how many threads it should use. This is the maximum number of connections the server can handle at once; be sure and set this number high enough for your site if you get a lot of hits. The recommended default is <CODE>ThreadsPerChild 50</CODE>. </P><A HREF="mod/core.html#threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</A> - This directive tells the server what size of stack to use for the individual threads. The recommended default is <CODE>ThreadStackSize 65536</CODE>. <P> <LI><P>The directives that accept filenames as arguments now must use NetWare filenames instead of Unix ones. However, because Apache uses Unix-style names internally, you must use forward slashes, not backslashes. Volumes can be used; if omitted, the drive with the Apache executable will be assumed.</P> <LI><P>Apache for NetWare contains the ability to load modules at runtime, without recompiling the server. If Apache is compiled normally, it will install a number of optional modules in the <CODE>\Apache\modules</CODE> directory. To activate these, or other modules, the new <A HREF="mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</A> directive must be used. For example, to active the status module, use the following (in addition to the status-activating directives in <CODE>access.conf</CODE>):</P> <PRE> LoadModule status_module modules/status </PRE> <P>Information on <A HREF="mod/mod_so.html#creating">creating loadable modules</A> is also available.</P> </UL> <H2><A NAME="comp">Compiling Apache for NetWare</A></H2> <P>Compiling Apache requires MetroWerks CodeWarrior 5 to be properly installed. <P>First, unpack the Apache distribution into an appropriate directory. Then go to the <CODE>src</CODE> subdirectory of the Apache distribution and unzip <CODE>ApacheNW.mcp.gz</CODE>. You may use a recent version of WinZip to accomplish this or gzip for Windows. The main Metrowerks project file for Apache <CODE>(ApacheNW.mcp)</CODE> is now ready to use. Just double click on it from within explorer and it should automatically launch MetroWerks CodeWarrior. </P> <P>All major pieces of Apache may be built using the ApacheNW.mcp project file. This includes modules such as status, info, and proxy. In addition, the following project files have been provided as well: <PRE> /apache-1.3/src/support/htpasswd.mcp.gz /apache-1.3/src/support/htdigest.mcp.gz </PRE> </P> <CODE>htpasswd.mcp.gz</CODE> and <CODE>htdigest.mcp.gz</CODE> will also need to be unzipped before they can be used with MetroWerks CodeWarrior. <P>Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in its server root directory. The default is the <CODE>sys:/Apache</CODE> directory. </P> <P> Before running the server you must fill out the conf directory. Copy the *.conf-dist-nw from the distribution conf directory and rename *.conf. Edit the ServerRoot entries to your actual server root (for example "sys:/apache"). Copy over the conf/magic and conf/mime.types files as well. <!--#include virtual="footer.html" --> </BODY> </HTML> 1.162 +34 -4 apache-1.3/htdocs/manual/mod/core.html Index: core.html =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/apache-1.3/htdocs/manual/mod/core.html,v retrieving revision 1.161 retrieving revision 1.162 diff -u -r1.161 -r1.162 --- core.html 2000/01/12 15:54:46 1.161 +++ core.html 2000/01/18 19:32:49 1.162 @@ -88,6 +88,7 @@ <LI><A HREF="#servertype">ServerType</A> <LI><A HREF="#startservers">StartServers</A> <LI><A HREF="#threadsperchild">ThreadsPerChild</A> +<LI><A HREF="#threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</A> <LI><A HREF="#timeout">TimeOut</A> <LI><A HREF="#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</A> <LI><A HREF="#user">User</A> @@ -3043,7 +3044,7 @@ <A HREF="directive-dict.html#Status" REL="Help" -><STRONG>Status:</STRONG></A> core (Windows)<BR> +><STRONG>Status:</STRONG></A> core (Windows, NetWare)<BR> <STRONG>Compatibility:</STRONG> Available only with Apache 1.3 and later with Windows @@ -3058,6 +3059,38 @@ <HR> +<H2><A NAME="threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</A></H2> +<A + HREF="directive-dict.html#Syntax" + REL="Help" +><STRONG>Syntax:</STRONG></A> ThreadStackSize <EM>number</EM><BR> +<A + HREF="directive-dict.html#Default" + REL="Help" +><STRONG>Default:</STRONG></A> <CODE>ThreadStackSize 65536</CODE><BR> +<A + HREF="directive-dict.html#Context" + REL="Help" +><STRONG>Context:</STRONG></A> server config<BR> +<A + HREF="directive-dict.html#Status" + REL="Help" +><STRONG>Status:</STRONG></A> core (NetWare)<BR> +<STRONG>Compatibility:</STRONG> Available only with Apache 1.3 and later +with NetWare + +<P>This directive tells the server what stack size to use for each of the + running threads.
