SUBMISSION: NCSA httpd 1.3 server for NEXTSTEP (Moto/Intel) [27oct94]

A compiled and ready-to-go-for-NEXTSTEP version of the NCSA httpd Web server (version 1.3) has been submitted to      

          ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/software/NeXT/submissions, 

eventually to be moved to 

          ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/software/NeXT/binaries/wide-area-info.

With this file, you can set up your own Web server under NEXTSTEP 3.x, running on black (Motorola) or white (Intel) hardware. This is just a compiled and working version of the public domain NCSA httpd Web server

Here are the files available at the FTP site:

FILE                       DESCRIPTION                            SIZE
----------------------     ---------------------------------      ------
httpd.1.3.MAB.README       Contains this same information           2 KB
httpd.1.3.MAB.tar.Z        Precompiled server files               460 KB


1. Login as root on the machine on which you wish to install the server

2. Place the folder httpd in the following path:  /usr/local/etc/
   NOTE: to change the path, edit "ServerRoot" in the file httpd.conf

3. Place the name of the server machine in the file httpd.conf, 
   i.e. ServerName NAMEOFYOURMACHINE
   e.g. ServerName sparky

4. Place any HTML documents in /httpd/htdocs/.  You may wish to make it writeable 
   by the group and create a link to a more convenient place.

5. Start the httpServer in a Terminal window (simplest to drag httpServer to the 
   window)

6. Optional: If you want the server to autostart whenever the machine is booted, 
   add the following to /etc/rc.local:
        /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpServer

The server is now running and will serve requests to http://NAMEOFYOURMACHINE/.
