Looks good to me. I sort of think there should be a "Release Notes"
section for this kind of thing. It doesn't seem really appropriate for
the install docs.
Anyway, here is another draft of INSTALL that incorporates your
suggestions. I've already committed install.html.
Joshua
QUICK AND DIRTY APACHE INSTALLATION
For full installation documentation, see docs/manual/install.html or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html
Overview for the impatient
--------------------------
$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start
NOTES: * PREFIX is not the string "PREFIX". Instead use the Unix
filesystem path under which Apache should be installed. For
instance use "/usr/local/apache" for PREFIX above.
* If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will
be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default,
as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If
you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use
"./configure --enable-threads".
* If you are a developer using the CVS version of Apache,
you will need to run ./buildconf before anything else.
For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a
typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree
/sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two
additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading
through the DSO mechanism:
$ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \
./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-speling=shared
The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache
2.0 is to run ./configure --help.
Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, Version 2.0.
