+ <subsection name="Verify the integrity of the files">
+ <p>
+ It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP or MD5 signatures.
+ Please read <a
href="http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html";>Verifying Apache Software
Foundation Releases</a>
+ for more information on why you should verify our releases.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG.
+ First download these <a
href="http://www.apache.org/dist/portals/bridges/KEYS";>KEYS</a> as well as the
asc signature file for the relevant distribution.
+ Make sure you get these files from the main distribution site,
rather than from a mirror.
+ Then verify the signatures using
+ <source><![CDATA[ % pgpk -a KEYS
+ % pgpv downloaded_file.asc
+or
+ % pgp -ka KEYS
+ % pgp downloaded_file.asc
+or
+ % gpg --import KEYS
+ % gpg --verify downloaded_file.asc]]></source>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A
unix program called md5 or md5sum is included in many unix distributions.
+ It is also available as part of <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html";>GNU Textutils</a>.
+ Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a
href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/";>here</a>,
+ <a
href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/";>here</a>, or <a
