This is a small upgrade release of the CERN server (a.k.a. W3C
httpd). It includes a set of bug fixes and some improvements. The
release comes ASIS - that is - there is _no_ support available. Take
it or leave it :-)
The release does only include source code, you must compile the binary
yourself.
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://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Daemon/
Security bugs can be sent to
httpd@w3.org
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!
