Getting Ready To Install Apache, PHP, and SSL



System Prerequisites

Before installing Apache, ApacheSSL, and PHP you need to have a few pieces of software on your system:
 


Obtaining the Apache Source Distribution

The Apache source distribution is available from the following sites.  Apache 1.3.9 is the version I used in these examples, I personally know that Apache 1.3.6 works as well.

ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/apache/dist/
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/apache/
ftp://apache.missouri.edu/pub/apache/dist/
ftp://apache.arctic.org/pub/apache/dist/
ftp://opnsrc.service.digital.com/apache/dist/
ftp://us-mirror.ftp.ai.net/pub/apache/dist/
ftp://mirrors.partnersforever.net/pub/apache/dist/
ftp://galileo.galilei.com/pub/apache/
 

Obtaining OpenSSL

OpenSSL provides ApacheSSL with some neccesary libraries.  OpenSSL 0.9.4 is recommended - it's available from:

ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/openssl/
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/libs/openssl/
ftp://ftp.pca.dfn.de/pub/tools/net/openssl/
ftp://ftp.ecrc.net/pub/security/openssl/
 

Obtaining the ApacheSSL Patches

The ApacheSSL patches add SSL functionality to the Apache web server.  Use the version appropriate for the version of Apache you are setting up.  ApacheSSL is available from:

ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/SSL/Apache-SSL/
ftp://ftp.master.pgp.net/pub/crypto/SSL/Apache-SSL/
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/crypto/apache/Apache-SSL
ftp://ftp.win.or.jp/pub/network/security/apache-ssl/Apache-SSL
ftp://ftp.sage-au.org.au/pub/network/security/apache-ssl/Apache-SSL
 

Obtaining the PHP Source Distribution

PHP is available from:

http://www.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.12.tar.gz
http://us.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.12.tar.gz
http://us4.php.net/distributions/php-3.0.12.tar.gz
