+Revision 20171, 17.6 KB (checked in by ak19, 12 months ago) explains:
+"Windows httpd.conf.in file is not the same as the one for linux and
+darwin (Mac), since one gets the Modules Already Loaded message on
+Linux if the existing httpd.conf.in was interchanged with the Windows
+one."

-Dr Bainbridge fixed the configure.in (and generated the configure file from it) so that it generates the libexpat.so.0 file it needs. This way the apache web server won't look elsewhere for the so file and perhaps find an incompatible version of it.

-Teaches the apache web server being compiled up where the static libiconv lib file, libiconv.a, is to be found (which greenstone would have compiled up during the greenstone configure stage). The with-iconv flag is set in runtime-src/packages/configure file to point to the common-src/packages/iconv folder wherein the lib folder contains the generated libiconv.a file. The apache server tar file is updated as well: no longer does it add the with-iconv flag explicitly since this is now already set at a higher up level and is passed down to it.

+NOTES ON COMPILING AND INSTALLING APACHE HTTPD 2.2 FOR GREENSTONE
+*****************************************************************
+
+The Relocatable Apache web server:
+
+
+A) RELEASE KIT needs to run:
+
+1. ./configure --enable-apache-httpd
+2. make
+3. make install
+4. make apache-for-dist
+
+
+B) INSTALLER needs to:
+
+1. Copy the compiled up apache-httpd folder and put it into its
+   destination for installation:
+GSDLHOME/apache-httpd.
+
+X 2. Not necessary: 
+cd into there and into the linux (=GSDLOS) folder in there:
+    cd <GSDLHOME>/apache-httpd/linux
+
+3. Run the script install-bindist.sh (in apache-httpd/<GSDLOS> folder)
+   passing as argument: <GSDLHOME>/apache-httpd/linux
+
+4. Now it should be good to go: can run the webserver after
+   configuring the port (in linux/conf/httpd.conf) as follows
+    ./bin/apachectl start
+
+- Change port in httpd.conf file
+- run gs2-server.sh
+
