Unlike most Unix and Unix-like platforms, Windows systems do not come with a bundled software development environment, so we do prepare binary kits for Windows when we make a release. Again, however, it's a voluntary thing and only a limited number of the developers have the capability to build the InstallShield package, so the Windows release may lag somewhat behind the source release. This lag should be no more than a few days at most. - = C. Building Apache httpd = + = Building Apache httpd = == Why do I get an error about an undefined reference to "__inet_ntoa" or other __inet_* symbols? == If you have installed BIND-8 then this is normally due to a conflict between your include files and your libraries. BIND-8 installs its include files and libraries /usr/local/include/ and /usr/local/lib/, while the resolver that comes with your system is probably installed in /usr/include/ and /usr/lib/. If your system uses the header files in /usr/local/include/ before those in /usr/include/ but you do not use the new resolver library, then the two versions will conflict. @@ -150, +150 @@ If you fail to do this, then it is very likely that Apache will fail to build.

Note that this doesn't mean you need to load them explicitly into HTTPD, just install them on the host machine! This is likely to affect users of IBM's httpd trying to load modules not supplied by IBM, and might arise in other circumstances where the server and the module are compiled using different build options. - = E. Configuration Questions = + = Configuration Questions = == Why can't I run more than <n> virtual hosts? == You are probably running into resource limitations in your operating system. The most common limitation is the per-process limit on file descriptors, which is almost always the cause of problems seen when adding virtual hosts. Apache often does not give an intuitive error message because it is normally some library routine (such as gethostbyname()) which needs file descriptors and doesn't complain intelligibly when it can't get them. @@ -413, +413 @@ </VirtualHost> ... }}} - = F.

This applies regardless of the file name, so scripts in a ScriptAlias directory don't need to be named "*.cgi" or "*.pl" or whatever.
