Lab 1. First Apache Installations. (last updated: 10/19/09)
A. Login to a workstation with your Linux account. If you do not have one, then watch with someone else.
Then open up acommand-line (or "terminal") window.

B. Get the sources.
Open up a browser. Go to http://www.apache.org, select "HTTP Server" from the right middle of the page.
Scroll down & select"Download".

(If you download it to your regular account's Desktop, then with your regular account, copy it from the Desktop over to "/tmp".)

C. Use yourcommand line window to copy the sources & unpack them in your own source code directory. Use these steps:
Become "root" with the "su -" command.
Change into directory:/usr/local/src
Make a directory "xx", where "xx" is your initials.
Copy the tarball from /tmp into /usr/local/src/xx.
Decompress the archive by typing:gunzip apache_1.3.33.tar.gz
Unarchive it with "tar" by typing:
tar -xvf apache_1.3.33.tar

D. Prepare for your first "build"Change directories into directory: /usr/local/src/xx/apache_1.3.33
Look around at the top level files & directories by typing: ls
Scan the README files, thenView the default directory layout, by typing:
./configure --show-layout

Now re-run "./configure" with ServerRoot and Data Directory different...
