texte = Here some instructions to install apache 2.0.63 and WebDNA 6.0 on a Fedora Core 9 release. Should be more or less the same on an Ubuntu or CentOS. Note apache is more picky than WebDNA itself: it will request its own libraries. Apache (must be compiled and will request its own libraries)) ====== * compilation files are inside /root/httpd-2.0.63 It is better to choose an incremental compilation, meaning if you want to add modules in the future, you will just have to work from this directory. * Execute and config with # ./configure --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-cgi --enable-ssl --enable-deflate --sysconfdir=/etc/apache2 --enable-so --enable-mime-magic * The ./configure checks that all packs and dependencies are available.
