CHAPTER 27 World Wide Web

27.5 Setting up your Server

To compile your own daemon uncompress and un-tar the source tree and edit the default control files in the conf directory: srm.conf, access.conf, httpd.conf. Then edit the src/Configuration file to select a compiler to use, options, and the modules to include. Some things you might change:

CC= cc or CC=gcc

CFLAGS= -DMAXIMUM_DNS DXBITHACK or CFLAGS= -O2

AUX_CFLAGS= -DSOLARIS2 or AUX_CFLAGS= -DSUNOS4

AUX_LIBS= -lsocket -lnsl or AUX_LIBS=

Module agent_log_module

Module referer_log_module

Module config_log_module mod_log_config.o

You can set the paths for the various services, control files, and log files in httpd.h. Some examples of entries you might change are:

#define HTTPD_ROOT "/usr/local/etc/httpd¬

#define DEFAULT_ADMIN "[no address given]" --> "webmaster"

#define DEFAULT_PORT 80

#define DEFAULT_XFERLOG "logs/access_log"

#define DEFAULT_INDEX "index.html"

#define ACCESS_CONFIG_FILE "conf/access.conf"
