Apache tar gz linux

Compiling and Installing

This document covers compilation and installation of the Apache HTTP Server on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For compiling and installation on Windows, see Using Apache HTTP Server with Microsoft Windows and Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows. For other platforms, see the platform documentation.

Apache httpd uses libtool and autoconf to create a build environment that looks like many other Open Source projects.

If you are upgrading from one minor version to the next (for example, 2.4.8 to 2.4.9), please skip down to the upgrading section.

Overview for the impatient

Installing from source

Download	Download the latest release from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Extract	$ gzip -d httpd-NN.tar.gz $ tar xvf httpd-NN.tar $ cd httpd-NN
Configure	$ ./configure —prefix=PREFIX
Compile	$ make
Install	$ make install
Customize	$ vi PREFIX/conf/httpd.conf
Test	$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k start

NN must be replaced with the current version number, and PREFIX must be replaced with the filesystem path under which the server should be installed. If PREFIX is not specified, it defaults to /usr/local/apache2 .

Each section of the compilation and installation process is described in more detail below, beginning with the requirements for compiling and installing Apache httpd.

Requirements

The following requirements exist for building Apache httpd:

APR and APR-Util Make sure you have APR and APR-Util already installed on your system. If you don’t, or prefer to not use the system-provided versions, download the latest versions of both APR and APR-Util from Apache APR, unpack them into /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr and /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr-util (be sure the directory names do not have version numbers; for example, the APR distribution must be under /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr/) and use ./configure ‘s —with-included-apr option. On some platforms, you may have to install the corresponding -dev packages to allow httpd to build against your installed copy of APR and APR-Util. Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions Library (PCRE) This library is required but not longer bundled with httpd. Download the source code from http://www.pcre.org, or install a Port or Package. If your build system can’t find the pcre-config script installed by the PCRE build, point to it using the —with-pcre parameter. On some platforms, you may have to install the corresponding -dev package to allow httpd to build against your installed copy of PCRE. Disk Space Make sure you have at least 50 MB of temporary free disk space available. After installation the server occupies approximately 10 MB of disk space. The actual disk space requirements will vary considerably based on your chosen configuration options, any third-party modules, and, of course, the size of the web site or sites that you have on the server. ANSI-C Compiler and Build System Make sure you have an ANSI-C compiler installed. The GNU C compiler (GCC) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is recommended. If you don’t have GCC then at least make sure your vendor’s compiler is ANSI compliant. In addition, your PATH must contain basic build tools such as make . Accurate time keeping Elements of the HTTP protocol are expressed as the time of day. So, it’s time to investigate setting some time synchronization facility on your system. Usually the ntpdate or xntpd programs are used for this purpose which are based on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). See the NTP homepage for more details about NTP software and public time servers. Perl 5 [OPTIONAL] For some of the support scripts like apxs or dbmmanage (which are written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions 5.003 or newer are sufficient). If no Perl 5 interpreter is found by the configure script, you will not be able to use the affected support scripts. Of course, you will still be able to build and use Apache httpd.

Download

The Apache HTTP Server can be downloaded from the Apache HTTP Server download site, which lists several mirrors. Most users of Apache on unix-like systems will be better off downloading and compiling a source version. The build process (described below) is easy, and it allows you to customize your server to suit your needs. In addition, binary releases are often not up to date with the latest source releases. If you do download a binary, follow the instructions in the INSTALL.bindist file inside the distribution.

After downloading, it is important to verify that you have a complete and unmodified version of the Apache HTTP Server. This can be accomplished by testing the downloaded tarball against the PGP signature. Details on how to do this are available on the download page and an extended example is available describing the use of PGP.

Extract

Extracting the source from the Apache HTTP Server tarball is a simple matter of uncompressing, and then untarring:

$ gzip -d httpd-NN.tar.gz
$ tar xvf httpd-NN.tar

This will create a new directory under the current directory containing the source code for the distribution. You should cd into that directory before proceeding with compiling the server.

Configuring the source tree

The next step is to configure the Apache source tree for your particular platform and personal requirements. This is done using the script configure included in the root directory of the distribution. (Developers downloading an unreleased version of the Apache source tree will need to have autoconf and libtool installed and will need to run buildconf before proceeding with the next steps. This is not necessary for official releases.)

To configure the source tree using all the default options, simply type ./configure . To change the default options, configure accepts a variety of variables and command line options.

The most important option is the location —prefix where Apache is to be installed later, because Apache has to be configured for this location to work correctly. More fine-tuned control of the location of files is possible with additional configure options.

Also at this point, you can specify which features you want included in Apache by enabling and disabling modules. Apache comes with a wide range of modules included by default. They will be compiled as shared objects (DSOs) which can be loaded or unloaded at runtime. You can also choose to compile modules statically by using the option —enable- module =static .

Additional modules are enabled using the —enable- module option, where module is the name of the module with the mod_ string removed and with any underscore converted to a dash. Similarly, you can disable modules with the —disable- module option. Be careful when using these options, since configure cannot warn you if the module you specify does not exist; it will simply ignore the option.

In addition, it is sometimes necessary to provide the configure script with extra information about the location of your compiler, libraries, or header files. This is done by passing either environment variables or command line options to configure . For more information, see the configure manual page. Or invoke configure using the —help option.

For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a typical example which compiles Apache for the installation tree /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two additional modules mod_ldap and mod_lua :

$ CC=»pgcc» CFLAGS=»-O2″ \
./configure —prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \
—enable-ldap=shared \
—enable-lua=shared

When configure is run it will take several minutes to test for the availability of features on your system and build Makefiles which will later be used to compile the server.

Details on all the different configure options are available on the configure manual page.

Build

Now you can build the various parts which form the Apache package by simply running the command:

Please be patient here, since a base configuration takes several minutes to compile and the time will vary widely depending on your hardware and the number of modules that you have enabled.

Install

Now it’s time to install the package under the configured installation PREFIX (see —prefix option above) by running:

This step will typically require root privileges, since PREFIX is usually a directory with restricted write permissions.

If you are upgrading, the installation will not overwrite your configuration files or documents.

Customize

Next, you can customize your Apache HTTP server by editing the configuration files under PREFIX/conf/ .

Have a look at the Apache manual under PREFIX/docs/manual/ or consult http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for the most recent version of this manual and a complete reference of available configuration directives.

Now you can start your Apache HTTP server by immediately running:

$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k start

You should then be able to request your first document via the URL http://localhost/ . The web page you see is located under the DocumentRoot , which will usually be PREFIX/htdocs/ . Then stop the server again by running:

$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k stop

Upgrading

The first step in upgrading is to read the release announcement and the file CHANGES in the source distribution to find any changes that may affect your site. When changing between major releases (for example, from 2.0 to 2.2 or from 2.2 to 2.4), there will likely be major differences in the compile-time and run-time configuration that will require manual adjustments. All modules will also need to be upgraded to accommodate changes in the module API.

Upgrading from one minor version to the next (for example, from 2.2.55 to 2.2.57) is easier. The make install process will not overwrite any of your existing documents, log files, or configuration files. In addition, the developers make every effort to avoid incompatible changes in the configure options, run-time configuration, or the module API between minor versions. In most cases you should be able to use an identical configure command line, an identical configuration file, and all of your modules should continue to work.

To upgrade across minor versions, start by finding the file config.nice in the build directory of your installed server or at the root of the source tree for your old install. This will contain the exact configure command line that you used to configure the source tree. Then to upgrade from one version to the next, you need only copy the config.nice file to the source tree of the new version, edit it to make any desired changes, and then run:

$ ./config.nice
$ make
$ make install
$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k graceful-stop
$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k start

You can pass additional arguments to config.nice , which will be appended to your original configure options:

$ ./config.nice —prefix=/home/test/apache —with-port=90

Third-party packages

A large number of third parties provide their own packaged distributions of the Apache HTTP Server for installation on particular platforms. This includes the various Linux distributions, various third-party Windows packages, Mac OS X, Solaris, and many more.

Our software license not only permits, but encourages, this kind of redistribution. However, it does result in a situation where the configuration layout and defaults on your installation of the server may differ from what is stated in the documentation. While unfortunate, this situation is not likely to change any time soon.

A description of these third-party distributions is maintained in the HTTP Server wiki, and should reflect the current state of these third-party distributions. However, you will need to familiarize yourself with your particular platform’s package management and installation procedures.

How To Open a Tar.gz File In Linux / Unix

I ‘ve received a file called date.tar.gz. How do I open/extract/unpack a tar.gz file on Linux or Unix like operating systems using shell prompt?

A .tar.gz (also .tgz ) file is nothing but an archive. It is a file that acts as a container for other files. An archive can contain many files, folders, and subfolders, usually in compressed form using gzip or bzip2 program on Unix like operating systems.

Say hi to tar command line tool

You need to use the tar command which can create and manipulate archive files in .tar.gz under Unix like operating systems. Open a command-line terminal (select Applications > Accessories > Terminal), and then type the following to open and extract a .tar.gz file:

Where options are as follows:

• -z : Uncompress the resulting archive with gzip command.
• -x : Extract to disk from the archive.
• -v : Produce verbose output i.e. show progress and file names while extracting files.
• -f data.tar.gz : Read the archive from the specified file called data.tar.gz.

How To Open a Tar.gz File In Linux / Unix System

By defaults files will be extracted into the current directory. To change the directory use -C option. In this example, extract files in /data/projects directory:

can i access n edit the complicated structured tar files

Get the Midnight commander:

sudo apt-get install mc

Ah been meaning to install this for the next time I have the privilage to use an ssh to fix a computer system. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you very much its super very effective

Yawn. This is why linux after all these years is a waste of space. In 10 years you still haven’t managed to create a double click installer. Common fanboys hit me with your arrogant linux attitude. I don’t want to hear your explanations no one wants tar files no one wants to use a terminal and until you have a double click install with zip, rar and 7z support i will always call linux rubbish. see yah.

You are dumber than Ted Kennedy the night he crashed his car and brutally shred apart and killed his date. Keep voting Democrat.

Actually it is supported and additional archieve formats can be added with ease to the linux system; many users prefer the terminal, why you may ask because it is power which cannot be met by any GUI tool which is the case on almost every operating system. Also download a .deb file and double-click it; seriously I don’t think you’ve ever had the privillage of using a unix system or linux system for that matter.

Get a life or get a job as I see there is absolutely no reason to discourage new users simply because you are ignorant or lack the skills required to have an even primitive knowledge of the same system that runs most of world’s webservers and 99% of the world’s fastest supercomputers.

So we’re all a bunch of fanboys; I personally have a custom kernel and my system runs even cooler under linux than Windows. I’ve logged hundreds of hours in Windows troubleshooting issues ranging from rootkits to the occassional user whom fails to understand that doubleclicking that exe file will start the installer (same thing as double-clicking a .deb file on a debian/debian-based system).

By the time I was 18 I was an IT whom had worked on databases worth millions. If you honestly expect me to believe for even a moment that you have even experience once so ever on these systems then you are dumber than I first thought. I’ve worked alongside software engineers and systems analysts and have served as an advisor for computer systems all of these were Windows.

Also there was a study done which showed that linux (study used Ubuntu) is more user-friendly than Windows. Now if you want to start an debate on macs I’ll have to remind you that macs are unix-based and after it took 6 months for Apple to patch only one security threat when the linux kernel can be patched in hours.

I’m done…I don’t waste my time with trolls…

…I have a database to write

That’s a silly comment.

It’s because of idiots like you with that mindset faded away into obscurity because they refused to learn new and emerging technologies….much like the ex-mainframer’s I used to work with at one of my prior places of employment (Chubb & Son’s, Inc. in New Jersey) who refused to want to learn Unix or any other operating system because they believed nothing could be superior to Big Iron, as mainframes are called…..after the datacenter was outsourced many of them could not find employment because of their outdated 70’s experience and technical skills and had to take jobs at Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart, KMart, and other non-technology companies….WHY. Because they failed to stay current!! You sound just like that group of losers who had nothing to do but bash this system and that system in favor of Big Iron without thinking ahead to where the future may take them…..

Mojang, remove the Steve skin! That is a stupid comment.

As a decade long linux user I have to say…you’re absolutely right. It’s really frustrating after all this time that a double click option isn’t available. Sorry chaps, it’s the truth.

The Rule of Three is in full effect. Example:

This guy’s a douche.

Go spend your dads money on an expensive laptop made of glue, and enjoy double clicking on Facebook at Starbucks, douche.

Oh yeah, by the way… this guy’s a douche.

You are a Clown. You are just lashing out cause you have no clue how to navigate in such a straight forward system.

any chance I could unzip a tar file on an android fone?

install busybox if the tar command isn’t already installed

Super…using TAR is easy and was able to unpack Eclipse compiler into Linux.
Thanks
