Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The "FAQ" page has been changed by JeffTrawick: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/FAQ?action=diff&rev1=34&rev2=35 Comment: remove the misleading info about binaries; defer for the time being explicitly listing third-party binary providers == Where can I get Apache httpd? == You can find out how to download the source for Apache at the [[http://httpd.apache.org|main Apache web server site]]. - == Where can I download (certified) 64 bit Apache httpd binaries for Windows? == - Right now, there are none. The Apache Software Foundation produces Open '''Source''' Software. The 32 bit binaries provided are a courtesy of the community members. + == Why isn't there a current binary for my platform? == + The occasional availability of binaries for one platform or another at http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/ has been a source of confusion for the user community, particularly the large subset which uses the Windows platform and is not able to build httpd and prerequisites themselves. + + Producing binaries for general use is not part of the httpd release process. By policy the group does not formally release binaries and is in no position to ensure their consistent availability. (No mechanisms exist to review, test, and approve them -- we can only formally release source). + + If you are unable to build a binary for your platform, consult the Users mailing list for recommendations. == May I use the Apache logo on my product or Web site? == You may NOT use any original artwork from the Apache Software Foundation, nor make or use modified versions of such artwork, except under the conditions in the [[http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/|Apache Trademark Policy]] document. @@ -107, +111 @@ Regular expressions are a way of describing a pattern - for example, "all the words that begin with the letter A" or "every 10-digit phone number" or even "Every sentence with two commas in it, and no capital letter Q". Regular expressions (aka "regex"s) are useful in Apache because they let you apply certain attributes against collections of files or resources in very flexible ways - for example, all .gif and .jpg files under any "images" directory could be written as `/images/.*(jpg|gif)$`. Note that httpd doesn't need the delimiting `//` so as to avoid "toothpicks" when matching URIs or paths, like: `/\/foo\/bar\/?/` The best overview around is probably the [[http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html|one which comes with Perl]]. Apache's regular expressions use [[http://www.pcre.org/|PCRE - Perl Compatible Regular Expressions]]. - - == Why isn't there a binary for my platform? == - The developers make sure that the software builds and works correctly on the platforms available to them; this does not necessarily mean that your platform is one of them. In addition, the Apache HTTP server project is primarily source oriented, meaning that distributing valid and buildable source code is the purpose of a release, not making sure that there is a binary package for all of the supported platforms. - - If you don't see a kit for your platform listed in the binary distribution area (http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/), it means either that the platform isn't available to any of the developers, or that they just haven't gotten around to preparing a binary for it. As this is a voluntary project, they are under no obligation to do so. Users are encouraged and expected to build the software themselves. - - The sole exception to these practices is the Windows package. 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. = Building Apache httpd = == Why do I get an error about an undefined reference to "__inet_ntoa" or other __inet_* symbols? == --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
