Wery good news!! It's great that PHP5 is now supported!

This is VERY good news. I'll be having a play with this over the coming months.

FuZion.

Great job! This is important work.

Harmless ... err, "mosty harmless".


No, relly great to see that Develpment on OS4 is catching up with the actual live, more and more.

So, I have to ask- is there any chance of seeing your port merged into the mainline tree? That's the only way we'll ever have ongoing bugfixes consistently.

Not at ALL to minimize your work, as I think it's great to see Apache + PHP on AOS, but...?

BTW, very good README. Other OS4Depot authors/publshers, you may want to take a look at Eds for apache, on OS4depot

This is fantastic!

I was under the impression that all we had was a fossilised, unsupported 68K version.
I would have been impressed with Apache standalone, let alone with the lates PHP support.
Excellent work - very much appreciated.

@wegster

To be honest - I don't know how to do that...
I have no experience with things like this.
On the other hand - I don't like to publish my code, unless
some important features are implemented. Most important
is cgi-support. And there are some timing issues left.

Hmm - I don't know if it makes sense to publish unfinished code?!

Is there a demo server running some where out there ?

I would say you have to. PHP uses Apache-like licence. You need to distribute source code to everyone who has a binary (I admit I haven't read whole Apache licence, also, I'm after two hours of soccer and a 0.5l of beer, so I can be wrong ). Apache licence is compatible with GPL.

Yes, maybe someone would like to start working on AROS/MorphOS port of your work. That's how Open Source work.

Opi's got a point there... if you don't feel comfortable merging your changes into mainline, you need to at least create a set of diffs so that anyone can download the official source, apply your diffs and make any other modifications they want to. It's not an optional thing, you really need to do it as soon as you can.

I'm not perfectly familiar with the tools involved (I haven't been involved with OSS for a few years now), but it's not that hard, you just need to pass the correct arguments to the "diff" commandline utility. I'm sure someone will be able to give you a hand.

@CodeSmith

Normal diff (and I'm sure GG has a normal version of it would take two files as a parameters and should split a diff. So, Ed would need to diff against all the files he moded from the orginal source code.

Bah, Opi's just being difficult

technically, he's correct about the GPL- someone 'can' request a copy of your diffs or modified source.

I understand what you mean about not wanting to release 'a work in progress,' although not sure how the GPL affects that if technically this is a 'work in progress'...(I've had some code that probably had more 'TODO:s' in it than code :shocking )..

In the end, I'd work on cleaning up your code as your able to, to the point you think it's as 'reasonably well done as can be expected' and then approach the Apache devs about getting it put into the mainline. In this case, it would be for the 1.3.X tree, which _might_ be easier to get changes in, but ultimately, the only way for AOS to really gain sanity in it's ported software (from open source projects) is really to get the changes merged back in...once a cross-somiler is made available in the offical gcc tree, each project's maintainers/release engineer can then cross-compile each new revision and then contact the maintainer of each part if anything breaks (IOW, if something AOS specific becomes broken through changes), but then all bugfixes are picked up essentially 'for free.'

I wouldn't worry about it immediately, but it should be _everyones_ goal working on GPL/open source projects to ultimately get their code into the mainline projects.

And yes, if both MOS and OS4 developers all do the same, it really could become 'good for all of us'

No, I'm just drunk.
And BTW: C-Ed, job well done! I'm not even using PHP5 on my server.

Oh, I forgot about this. I would assume that GPL has no option for ,,work in progress'' if the binary made out of GPL was created. But I would not push Ced to do that. Let him clean the soruce and then we can share our work across.

Yes!!!!
He is doing great job of the OS4-Apache-server.
What do you boys like the installer-script.
I'm working on an better one, that will be relis
on the AmiGBG2005

If you guys could spare a moment from your GPL discussions ...

(Just kidding, of course)

I installed this Apache on my A1, and it won't start. I haven't been using Amiga Apache before (I used BlackWidow instead), but I'm fairly familiar with Apache from work (AIX a.o.), so I feel pretty good about having installed and configured stuff correctly.

When I run the startup script, httpd fails to start, and nothing is written into the log files. SnoopDOS reveals that it tries to lock "Apache:bin/suexec" (which doesn't exist) for reading just before bailing out with a return code of 20.

Any hints? Anybody else seeing this?

Best regards,

Niels

Then you have to read the readme file.

Quote:

----------------------------------------- Installation: a) with Installer: Simply double-click the "Install_Apache"-icon. b) by hand: - Unpack the archive and copy the value to wherever you want. (e.g.: "Work:Networking/"). - Add these lines to your user-startup: ;BEGIN Apache Assign Apache: Assign bin: Apache:bin ADD Path Apache:bin ADD ;END Apache - Copy the content of the ENVARC-drawer to ENVARC: In both cases you have to add a group "www" and a user "www" to your network- settings: Open file "sys:Devs/Internet/groups" with a text-editor and add this line: NAME=www ID=45 USERS=www Open file "sys:Devs/Internet/users" with a text-editor and add this line: NAME=www UID=1001 GID=45 DIR=sys: SHELL=noshell ----------------------------------------- Configure: - Open the configuration-file "Apache:conf/httpd.conf" with a text-editor (e.g. Notepad). - Search for the line starting with "ServerName". Replace "foo" with your network-name or with your IP of your amiga (Look at your internet-preferences). You don't need to edit the other settings, but it would be wise to edit these settings: - "ServerAdmin": Replace "foo@mail.de" with your own email-address. - "DocumentRoot": If you don't want to store your content into "Apache:htdocs", you can replace the path with your prefered one. If you do so, you must change the line starting with '' too. IMPORTANT: => All paths in the config-file have to be spelled in unix-style!! You have to write "/Apache" instead of "Apache:". => If you choosed to install both versions of Apache (PHP4 + PHP5), you will find two different versions of the main config-file in 'Apache:conf/': httpd.conf for PHP5 and httpd-php4.conf for PHP4! => By default apache with PHP5 is set to port 80 and apache with PHP4 to port 8080. For further information please refer to the manuals or to "http://httpd.apache.org/". ----------------------------------------- Starting / stopping: To launch the server, open the "Apache:"-drawer an double-click "starthttpd.rexx". To stop it double-click "stophttpd.rexx". After starting, try to access the apache-start-page by typing "http://localhost" into your web-browser. It should appear after a few seconds. If you have installed the PHP4-version too, then you can start and stop this server with "starthttpd-php4.rexx" and "stophttpd-php4.rexx". ----------------------------------------
