4.5 Apache Topic

Download the Apache Hyper Text Transport Protocol Daemon then compile and configure it. Apache runs on over half of all web sites. Linux and Apache are rumored to produce more than half of all web pages delivered. (My guess is UNIX/Linux/Free-BSD account for more than 95% of all web pages delivered.)

  1. Read an introduction to Apache.
  2. Locate the "tar-ball" for Apache > 1.3.9.
  3. Read "Compiling and Installing Apache 1.3".
  4. Make sure your system has Perl and GCC installed and working.
  5. Read "Apache suEXEC Support".
  6. Look over the Apache web site.

4.5.2 Group Task

  1. Retrieve the Apache package.
  2. Set up Apache on your system with suEXEC.
  3. Create an .html file to deliver.
  4. Create a cgi program to run that shows the uid and gid of the running task.
