Here is the summary; before all, I want to state that :
- this is not an HOW-TO, but is almost an HOW-I-DID-IT
- this description is part of a build of an Apache Web server v. 1.3.4 with
the following features/modules:
ApacheSSL
Microsoft Fontpage Extensions
PHP/FI
POSTGRES/SQL
My document doesn't cover the above mentioned, though I'm disposable to
describe the entire build.
- my build was possibly the most conservative and non intrusive for the
Microsoft Fontpage Extensions OSF/3.2, downloaded from www.rtr.com.
- I wish to thank the following persons, who care my efforts in this work:
Ray Kiesbrink
James Bremer
Rich Payne
Chris Price
Ron Farrer
My thought in particular goes to Rich Payne <rdp@talisman.alphalinux.org>,
who
will hopefully report this document on www.alphalinux.org.
Now the build.
FUNDAMENTAL PREREQUISITES:
--------------------------
- an OSF/3.2 license (and we have it), two OSF libraries used here.
- operate as "root" (of course)
1 - I installed the followind OSF/3.2 required libraries:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1277952 Apr 24 1997 /usr/shlib/libc.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1253376 Apr 24 1997 /usr/shlib/libm.so
2 - I builded the Apache 1.3.4 web server:
cd apache_1.3.4
patch -p0 < fp-patch-apache_1.3.3
mv mod_frontpage.c src/modules/extra/mod_frontpage.c
./configure --add-module=src/modules/extra/mod_frontpage.c
--enable-module=most --enable-shared=max --disable-shared=frontpage
make
make install
cp src/modules/ssl/gcache /usr/local/apache/bin
3 - I declared necessary modules to load in httpd configuration file, except
FrontPage Module, which is'nt a shared module
4 - I copied/renamed fp30.alpha.tar.gz (Microsoft FrontPage Extensions for OSF)
cp fp30.alpha.tar.gz /usr/local/fp30.linux.tar.gz
5 - I copied the installation shell file
cp fp_install.sh /usr/local
6 - I started the script and installed my root web only
cd /usr/local
./fp_install.sh
Didn't care the message saying that root web wouldn't work until partition
is mounted SUID.
7 - I recompiled/substituted fpexe
cd /usr/local/frontpage/currentversion/apache-fp
mv _vti_bin/fpexe _vti_bin/fpexe.orig
gcc -Dbsdi fpexe.c -o _vti_bin/fpexe
chmod u+s _vti_bin/fpexe
Last suggestion: put the following in httpd configuration file, for each
directory involved in web serving (root webs, virtual webs...)
<Directory /dir/tothisweb/site>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
This worked for me, on my alphalinux test box (AlphaStation 200 4/166, 48Mb
RAM, 4Gb H.D., RedHat 5.2, Kernel 2.6).
