Need to Install Apache Server running with perl/CGI option

[Cliff Lim Kok Hwee]

Hi Forum,

I am currently having OS Redhat Linux 4.0 AS running.

How do I install Apache Server running with Perl/CGI option? From RedHat Installation medium C Ds?

Thanks/Cliff

Shalom Cliff,

Perl/CGI is a standard option of the httpd/apache server that ships with apache. Just install off of the CD's. To be useful some changes to httpd.conf may be required.

Hi Sir,

If you installed everything (clicked the checkbox install everything) you have the server installed. The command:
service httpd start
will start it. Point your browser to httpd://localhost/

to test it.

Oops; that's http://localhost/ to test it.

this comes standard with the apache install, but will need some configuring in httpd.conf . I'd recommend downloading the latest rpm from http://httpd.apache.org/ , getting the updated perl framework from http://httpd.apache.org/test/ , and reading up on httpd.conf specifics at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/configuring.html .

Hi

If you have the redhat cd's you can install it using rpm -ivh command ( pacakge name is httpd and not apache)

Once that is done you can start apache :
#service httpd start
to check
#service httpd status

to configure you need to edit :
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
whenever you edit the conf file do:
#service httpd restart

-----------

to check if that works do:
http://IP_Address/
or
http://hostname or
http://localhost ( from the apache server itself)

Hope this is useful

Cheers
