====================
I have questions of setting up a Web server on solaris 2.4. This Web server,
I just want to set for internal use only. I'll summarize.
1) Where can I can get a WEB server software?. How much does it cost?

Apache is by far one of the best. You can get it athttp://www.apache.org/
It's absolutely free and it only cost time to compile, link and install it.
NSCA can be picked up at the NCSA archive site. Docs too but the server is
not as sleek as apache. Finally the Cern http is another one but is not as
fast as apache. Honestly I tried most of them and then some and apache is
my favorite for a million reasons.
If compiling it is an issue lots of people here on this list have
precompiled stuff available through FTP. We do and I could always let you
steal it from our site.
>>2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
Of course O'reiley and Associates serie of Unix in a nut shell has a couple
of good ones. Running an internet site might be the one for you even if you
are just providing http inhouse. The base material that can be picked up at
apache is dry but sufficient if you like it the express way.
>>3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
Quite bizare the first time but very easy in the end. You just have to have
the patience to follow the instruction to the letter and be knowledgable
enough to adapt it to your OS version.
>>Any additional tips are greatly appreciated.
Ask specific question when you get on the road and if you select Apache I
will be more than happy to help you out.
Good Luck

look at :
http://www.w3.org (good starting point. lots of docs and references)
or search for nsca or apache sever (free servers)
or for netscape one (more expensive one, but still affordable).

the cern webserver is probably the best and the easiest to install.
and it's free.

I am using both CERN and NCSA ($0) as well as Netscape $1000. CERN and
NCSA require compiling to get running. If you are interested I can lookup
the locations for them - don't have it with me. An AltaVista search on
NCSA HTTPD or SERVER should yield the location of the site.

NCSA and Netscape have online doc.

Depends on whether you have done it before. The free ones are probably a
bit harder for the first timer. Pleanty of people floating around in
cyberspace to help though.

Nothing - there are several free servers - CERN, NCSA,...

Very straightforward. Have a look at
http://info.ox.ac.uk/help/wwwfaq/index.html
which should provide you with all the pointers you need.
We have serveral servers for internal use only. You can set this up
(there are probably several ways) in the config file - have a look
at the CERN example files.

hi,
not long ago (last july?) i posted a similar question and got lots of
answers, unfortunately at that time i was overloaded with work (still
i am) and never find time to summarize the replies i'd got (shame, shame,
shame on me)
if you want i could send all of them (yes, still have them) and
you could include them in your summary
btw, i finally choosed to install APACHE, richly featured, pre-compiled
versions available, API featured (that makes easy to append home
made modules, though there are so many already available that you
better check whether it's already written), and all these for free.
Of course, if you want support, it's available and not too expensive.
You can subscribe to their list and, every friday, you'll get a
report: bug fixes, improvements, next-release features, and so on.
the only drawback is that the docs about how to configure it are
quite poor... i recommend you getting the O'Reilly book about
'Managing Internet Resources'
and that's all. remember to tell me if you want me to send you the
replies i never summarized.

Tricia,
Which web server are you trying to set up NCSA is *very* straight forward, it
takes less than 20 minutes (most of it compile time) to do the basic setup.

You can get a FREE web server for Solaris from www.aolserver.com. It is
full featured and has excellent performance.
>2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
Documentation is on line at their web site.
>3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
You just need to register at the web site and then download the
installation. It is a compressed (or gzipped) tar file. Just create an
account for the server and extract the server to the home directory. Then
follow the setup instructions. You can have a web server up and running in
10 minutes.
It consumes very little memory if you don't do any database access, but if
you do it still has a small footprint. You can also download a limited,
bundled version of the Illustra ORDBMS. The server comes with links into
Illustra.

Try the free ones first to see if they meet your needs
Apache:http://www.apache.org/
AOLserver:http://tools.gnn.com/

you can get it up and running in a few hours (mostly reading

http://www.apache.org then download Apache 1.1.1
I believe it's free for anyone to use.
>2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
Apache has online documentation but see Que's Apache 1.0 book online:
http://www.mcp.com/289268882499499/que/et/webapache/index.htm
>3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
It's pretty straightforward. Just create the directories and edit
three files and you're up (after compiling the source, if need to).
>Any additional tips are greatly appreciated.
Pay attention to the WWW security lists, newsgroups, literature.
And use your professional common sense. And be sure to create
local web policies (content-wise, security-wise, etc).

I'd recomend starting with Apache. It's *free*, works quite well, is stable,
standard, etc. Documentation is available on-line. Should at least be
enough to get you started, I think. We've been running it on our (simple
for now) pages for a while, and it never seems to have a problem, and I know
of a lot of sites that are running Apache, too.
Ok. Here' the Apache web page: Start from there.
http://www.apache.org/
Let me know ifn you have any problems and / or questions.

1. you can ignore the message. Somewhere in the makefile a '-2' flag was defined
and passed to the linker, don't worry, it's not a valid flag for it and that's
why the message. The linker ignored it, you do the same.
2. i've only seen the servertype & port options in the httpd.conf
also, beware that setting the server to use a port different from the default
one, will force your URL to be, http://www_your.domain.com:8080 another
problem is that many web browsers running behind firewalls are only allowed
to use port-80, thus, they will not reach your server
3. seems ok
so, in 'httpd.conf' what's your?
ServerRoot if set to '/usr/local/etc/httpd' you will not have to tell
your daemon where to find the configuration file
suggested: ServerRoot /usr/local/etc/httpd
Listen i'm not sure, but i think you'll have to tell your daemon
were to listen other than the default port
suggested: Listen 8080
and then it should run, beware that if you've changed the default ServerRoot
you'll have to indicate it when you start the daemon,
# /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd -f /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf \
-d /usr/local/etc/httpd
Give it a try and let me know if it works. If it doesn't, well, i'll need more info.
PS i've attached the shell script i placed in /etc/init.d to start/stop the daemon
(ie at boot time) you'll have to customize it to your site
Then, link it
# ln -s /etc/init.d/httpd.server /etc/rc2.d/K70httpd.server
# ln -s /etc/init.d/httpd.server /etc/rc3.d/S19httpd.server
this will automatically start it when entering state 3, and kill it when going
to state 2 (or lower)

Apache fromhttp://www.apache.org/ , and $0. (Can't beat
that price :).

It comes with example configuration files and there's online
docs at their site.

I've been running Apache for the group I work for's internal
httpd and our external company's site (http://www.bwi.bls.com) since
around the first of the year. I haven't had any problems with it.
If you've never installed an httpd before you can pretty much just
use the example files and install everything in the default locations.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Web server for Solaris 2.4 -Reply
I did this after only 6 months of unix experience, it was really
easy. I went to the NCSA httpd web page, and there are
directions and download info there. I just read along, and did
what it said. Then I got some html books so I could make
my own web pages. That was it!

Hi Sun-lers,
I have questions of setting up a Web server on solaris 2.4.
This Web server,
I just want to set for internal use only. I'll summarize.
1) Where can I can get a WEB server software?. How much
does it cost?
2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
Any additional tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Tricia Kha

It does not matter. Actually it's the best web-server for today.
> 1) Where can I can get a WEB server software?. How much does it cost?
Right there. You can download binaries or sources for free.
> 2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
They've got a good documentation on their web-site.
> 3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
Pretty easy - it comes with examples of conf files, so you just need to
change them according your network configuration to start with.

there is a binary ... you could try that first and then do the source
version. [that will make sure the config is ok - tell me how you go]

i did not compile under 2.4 - just saw the binary [osf & irix]

if you are running httpd in standalone mode you'll have to remove the
httpd/8080 entrance in /etc/services. Otherwise, i guess that inetd is
taking over it and not letting httpd bind to this port
check in your httpd.conf file for the ServerType definition. Usually you
want httpd to bind to its own port and avoid the overhead of having httpd
traffic go through inetd
about the servername directive. If you've set it to something different
than your real hostname, you'll have to include the alias it in the
/etc/hosts file or in the NIS+ table. About the last i'm not sure, i'm
not familiar with NIS, but i had my web server name aliased from
'carbon.uab.es' to 'mrui-web.uab.es' and it failed to correctly work
(in spite of being defined as an alternative hostname in the university
nameserver) until i included it in /etc/hosts
#
# this machine. Also the web server, aliased to mrui-web and bbm-web
#
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx carbon.uab.es carbon loghost host mrui-web bbm-web
so i guess the same holds true for the case of using NIS/NIS+. Alternatively,
you could set a small /etc/hosts file and instruct the /etc/nsswithch.conf
to read in as a last resource.
let me know if this fixes the problems

Subject: Re: Web server for Solaris 2.4
1) Where can I can get a WEB server software?.
www.w3.org ?/pub/WWW/Daemon? -- Cern server
www.ncsa.edu -- NCSA
www.apachie.org
www.netscape.com
www.oracle.com
-- plus I know that there is a server built in java
How much does it cost?
The first three above are free.
Netscape for edu's is free but costs money for .com's. I don't
know how much they are but their server's are nice and the have
nice web administration front ends which could make them well
worth buying if you don't have a lot of time.
I have downloaded Oracle's, put I haven't played with it yet. It
seems to me that if you have an Oracle database it aught to just
plug right into your and get data out eliminating a lot of scripts
or third party software and might be pretty darn fast.
2) Is there any books or tutorial tell you how to set up?
There are FAQ's with the PD web servers, and then there
are lots of books. Is there a Barnes & Noble or Book Stop
close by - they'll have a wall of books on this topic.
3) How easy to set up and what's need to make it happen?.
Pick a place to build the web tree, compile and install
the server.
For the public domain ones, you can restrict for internal
use with TCPwrappers which is what I have done. With Netscape
you can tell it what hosts have administrative access and
specify a domain for user access. To be fair, in the cern
and the apache server's configuration files there is an
option to specify the domain. But I feel better with
tcpwrappers.
