Log:
Ok, its time to replace the bogus {Makefile,src/install/InstallApache} stuff
with the new Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) while adjusting some
documentation and CVS files for it.
APACI was already tested by me under the following platforms:
FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE [en1] +DSO
FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE [taz] +DSO
FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE [en4] +DSO
Solaris 2.5.1 [sunti5] +DSO
Solaris 2.6 [en5] +DSO
SunOS 4.1.3 [sunbi1] +DSO
Linux 2.0.33 / Deb131 [gw1] +DSO
Linux 2.0.33 / RH4.1 [rcs41] +DSO
DEC OSF/1 4.0 [rcs12] +DSO
IRIX 6.2 [sgihalle14] -
HPUX 10.20 [rcs31] -
AIX 4.2 [rcs7]-
with the test procedure command
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/apache --enable-module=most
[--enable-shared=max]
$ make
$ make install
$ vi /tmp/apache/etc/httpd.conf
[edit Port 80->8000]
$ /tmp/apache/sbin/apachectl start
$ lynx -source http://localhost:8000/
$ /tmp/apache/sbin/apachectl stop
We should test more in the next days before 1.3b6 will go out. Let us hope
that our users now really honor my hacking and the groups decision effort for
APACI. Puuhhh ;-)

- Background:
-Currently Apache 1.3 has no real and flexible batch-configuration
-procedure and no real out-of-the-box installation procedure although
-the users expect one. At least the installation procedure is
required.
-For Apache 2.0 we already want something similar to this, but this is
-too far away. Apache 1.3 will be out for a long time until Apache 2.0
-is available and thus we should provide such a installation
procedure.
-
- Idee:
-To fill this gap for Apache 1.3 APACI was written from scratch. The
-goal it addresses is an Autoconf-style(!) but _NOT_ Autoconf-based
-batch interface for out-of-the-box configuring, building and
-installing Apache 1.3 by providing a frontend(!) and _NOT_ a
-replacement to the (more proprietary) src/Configure+src/Configuration
-stuff while replacing the totally out-of-date and bogus
-apache-1.3/Makefile+apache-1.3/src/helpers/InstallApache files.
-
- In short for the impatient:
- $ cd apache-1.3
- $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
- $ make
- $ make install
- $ PREFIX/sbin/apachectl start== IMPORTANT!
-
- Hints:
- 1. Because APACI uses a frontend which is named "configure" and
-supports the Autoconf-style options (especially --prefix, etc.)
