This appendix describes the installation and configuration of Apache’s HTTP server with
Perl script environment (required for recording).
J.1 Windows 2000/XP Operation Systems
Note: For detailed installation information, refer to
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html.
¾ To configure the Apache HTTP server and mod_perl version 2.0
software, take these 9 steps:
Additional required software: an uploading script (put.cgi), supplied with the software
package.
1. Download the third party Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe, installation file, from the following
link: www.apache.org/dist/perl/win32-bin/Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe
. The installation file
includes: Apache 2.0.46, Perl 5.8.0 and mod_perl-1.99 (the content of the file and the
software version are subject to modification and changes in the future).
For full installation instructions refer to www.apache.org/dist/perl/win32-bin/Perl-5.8-
win32-bin.readme.
2. To start the installation wizard run the Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe file.
3. During the installing, you are prompt to determine the Destination Folder under which
the package is installed, it is advised to provide a non-spaced path (such as:
c:\\directory_name_without_spaces).
4. In the following screen (configuration): uncheck the “Build html docs” and “Configure
CPAN pm” checkboxes, if they are present. If you are prompted to bring “nmake"
answer no.
5. After the installation is complete, add the “/path/perl/bin” and “/path/apache2/bin” (path
stands for the path that was previously specified in the “Destination Folder”)
directories to the system known path. Open the Control
PanelÆSystemÆAdvancedÆEnvironment Variables, inside the System Variables
dialog box choose “Path” and click the Edit button; in the opened Variable Value
checkbox append both of the paths to the existing list. Restart window in order to
activate the new paths.
6. Open the Apache2/conf/httpd.conf file for editing and set the parameter
MaxKeepAliveRequests to 0 (enables an unlimited number of requests during a
persistent connection – required for multiple consecutive HTTP PUT requests for
uploading the file).
