This presentation will cover how to get up and running with Apache 2.0 on Linux by highlighting some of the changes between Apache 2.0 and 1.3, how to download and install Apache 2.0 on a common Linux distribution and how to start the testing and migration of deployed Apache 1.3 servers to Apache 2.0.

You Will Learn:

»   History of Apache 2.0 Development
»   Getting the Apache 2.0 Source from Apache.org
»   Building the Apache 2.0 Source on Linux
»   Configuring Apache 2.0
»   Migrating Apache 1.3 to 2.0
»   Basic Apache Principles

Other Software Requirements
Other system requirements such as the latest versions of Perl, OpenSSL and PHP are not necessary to download, build and run a default Apache 2.0 configured system. However to get the maximum fulfillment out of this lab is it highly recommend that these tools be present.
