Important note:

    In this distribution, the original code is modified. So by no means
    the stability or instability of the precompiled httpd affects the
    stability of the original Apache 1.3.12 under Unix.

What is it?

    This is a modified binary distribution of Apache 1.3.12 Web-Server
    with diffs included for recompilation.

Requirements:

    - Internet connectivity  \  - TCP/IP stack which
    - ixemul.library         /    ixemul.library can handle
    - MC 68020+, 68040 recommended
    - executehack [optional]
    - UnixDirs3 [optional]
    - MuFS (Multi-User-File-System) for security [optional]
    - GG environment

History:

    Apache is the most used webserver in the world. Although the Amiga platform
    is not officially supported, there used to exist patches to make the source
    compile on an amiga. The newest one by Bert Vortman was for Apache 1.3b5,
    but since this was a beta version, no source to patch existed. Because of
    that I patched the *latest* (uhmm, hours later the new 1.3.3 was released)
    sources with the patches for 1.3b5. I hand-checked and corrected every patch
    applied, converted some function names to the new naming scheme in 1.3.2,
    changed some things in os/amiga/os.h and os-inline.h and made a few other
    changes, and typed make. The result is a working Apache 1.3.2. After some
    more working and code-cleanup, Apache 1.3.3 works.

    Meanwhile, Jeff made an 1.3.4, which was more stable, but still had included
    some Amiga-pathnames-hacks. This 1.3.6 is now much more clean and has some
    bugs killed. Now we are at 1.3.12. PHP 4.0 support has been added in July.
    Also, a fragment to be used in a shell script for Miami for starting
    AmigaApache and a script to automatically correct the ServerName and Listen
    directive in httpd.conf (if you get another IP everytime you log on).

Installation:

    Make a directory Apache:, and extract everything to there. Change to the
    bin/ directory and rename the binaries appropriate for you CPU. Also set the
    script bit for starthttpd, stophttpd and FixDynamic and the pure flag for
    httpd. Refer to http://amiga-apache.home.pages.de/ for configuring the
    Amiga-Apache and what GG environment is necessary.

Note:

    You will need a few unix tools. When I say go to
    http://amiga-apache.home-pages.de/ to check for the needed GG packages, I
    really mean it.

Todo:

    Document all code changes made.
    Rethink the way the archives are organized.
    Remove all the ':'-stuff.
    Do 2.0a.

Bugs:

    Amiga-Apache 1.3.12 seems to be much more stable now.
