Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix-like systems
(BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other platforms.

This is the fifth release of my port of Apache 1.3.34 to AmigaOS 4.0.
It includes support of PHP 5.1.1 and MySQL 3.23.58.
The previous version with PHP4-support is also included. It is possible to
run these two versions at the same time, so you can test your code under
both environments.

-----------------------------------------

* Includes latest version of PHP5. Following extensions are new in 5.1.1:
  - PDO-extension for a consistent interface for accessing databases.
    Includes these drivers:

History:

  using AmigaDOS-functions and should be quite fast. Please notice the
  "How to use CGI"-section.
* Added support of XSL. Allows to transform XML-files.
  For more informations look here: http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
* Better performance!
* Added support of the strftime()-function.
* date()-function crashed when using option "r" - fixed.
  Thanks to Aldur.
* Revised installer-script. Fixed some bugs and everything is now done by
  the script. Thanks to Magham.

* Some minor bugfixes and optimations.

1.3.33b php5:

* Support of PHP 5.0.4 including the new zend-engine 2 !!

            web-pages with database-support under OS4 (V 2.8.14).
            Important: This module is declared as experimental by the
                       PHP-group.
  - dom: The extension allows you to operate on an XML document with the
         DOM API.
  - libxml: support of 'The XML C parser and toolkit of Gnome' (libxml2 -
            V 2.6.19).
  - SimpleXML: The SimpleXML extension provides a very simple and easily
               usable toolset to convert XML to an object that can be pro-
               cessed with normal property selectors and array iterators.
  - soap: The SOAP extension can be used to write SOAP Servers and Clients.
          (V 1.139.2.4)
  - SPL: SPL is a collection of interfaces and classes that are meant to
         solve standard problems.
* New examples in the example-directory.
* Fixed problem with global variables starting with '$_' like '$_SERVER'.
  (in PHP4- and PHP5-version).

        - cid: Postscript CID-keyed fonts
        - cff: OpenType, CFF as well as CEF fonts (CEF is a derivative

-----------------------------------------

Installation:

a) with Installer:

   Simply double-click the "Install_Apache"-icon.

b) by hand:

   - Unpack the archive and copy the value to wherever you want.
     (e.g.: "Work:Networking/").

   - Add these lines to your user-startup:

     ;BEGIN Apache
     Assign Apache: <your path>
     Assign bin: Apache:bin ADD
     Path Apache:bin ADD
     ;END Apache

   - Open file "sys:Devs/Internet/groups" with a text-editor and add this
     line:

       NAME=www ID=45 USERS=www

   - Open file "sys:Devs/Internet/users" with a text-editor and add this
     line:

       NAME=www UID=1001 GID=45 DIR=sys: SHELL=noshell

-----------------------------------------

Configure:

- Open the configuration-file "Apache:conf/httpd.conf" with a text-editor
  (e.g. Notepad).

- Search for the line starting with "ServerName". Replace "foo" with your
  network-name or with your IP of your amiga (Look at your internet-
  preferences).

  You don't need to edit the other settings, but it would be wise to edit these
  settings:

  - "ServerAdmin": Replace "foo()mail.de" with your own email-address.

  - "DocumentRoot": If you don't want to store your content into
    "Apache:htdocs", you can replace the path with your prefered one. If you do
    so, you must change the line starting with '<Directory "/Apache/htdocs">'
    too.

    IMPORTANT: => All paths in the config-file have to be spelled in unix-
                  style!! You have to write "/Apache" instead of "Apache:".

               => If you choosed to install both versions of Apache (PHP4 +
                  PHP5), you will find two different versions of the main
                  config-file in 'Apache:conf/': httpd.conf for PHP5 and
                  httpd-php4.conf for PHP4!

               => By default apache with PHP5 is set to port 80 and apache with
                  PHP4 to port 8080.

For further information please refer to the manuals or to
 "http://httpd.apache.org/".

-----------------------------------------

Starting / stopping:

To launch the server, open the "Apache:"-drawer an double-click
"starthttpd.rexx". To stop it double-click "stophttpd.rexx".

After starting, try to access the apache-start-page by typing "http://localhost"
into your web-browser. It should appear after a few seconds.

If you have installed the PHP4-version too, then you can start and stop this
server with "starthttpd-php4.rexx" and "stophttpd-php4.rexx".

-----------------------------------------

Known problems:

* If you try to execute a single line of code with the standalone php-
  interpreter using the '-r'-option, you will get into trouble.
  This will not work in an amiga-shell:  php -r'echo "hello\n";'
  You need an unix-shell for this. You can use 'sh' from the perl-package
  available on os4depot.net.

* You can't limit execution-time using the set_time_limit()-function.

* http- and ftp-streams are buggy.

* ...

-----------------------------------------

How to use CGI:

The CGI-module behaves mostly as described in the original documantation,
except these points:

* AmigaDOS-scripts and ARexx-scripts are supported. Every script has to
  start with a #!-line where the interpreter is defined:

  For AmigaDOS-scripts use : #! /C/Execute
  For ARexx-scripts use    : #! /C/RX

* Contrary to the unix-version it doesn't matter, where a cgi-script
  (or binary) is located. If you want to upload your project to a
  linux-server, your script could be denied to execute.

* The cgi-module was tested with the abc-shell included in the SDK 51.15
  ("SDK:Local/C/sh") and the second release of perl 5.8.5 for AmigaOS 4.

* The ARexx-interpreter doesn't recognize local environment-variables
  so i had to use global variables. After execution all apache-variables
  will be deleted.
