2. Introduction

This document outlines the process used to install Apache & modules onto the web-server at Walla Walla College (www.wwc.edu). While it will be, for the most part, system specific--hopefully it can serve as a useful reference for performing other installations.

This document will attempt to outline the exact process used to install the server. Notes will be made when things should have been gone about differently, but the original steps will be given (assuming they worked).

2.1 Description of the Components

The platform on which the web-server was set up is a Red Hat 6.1 based system. Linux kernel 2.2.14 (compiled from scratch) running on a Dual PIII 600 based system with RAID5 and lots of other goodies.

The web-server software is Apache 1.3.12. The following modules were added to the server:

• mod_fastcgi SNAP (also mod_rewrite), for use with Zope.
• Auth-MySQL 2.20
• mod_ssl 2.6.2 (Open-SSL 0.9.5)
• mod_perl 1.21
• PHP 3.0.15
• mod_auth_nds 0.3a
