This + is the version of Apache for Microsoft Windows 2000, NT, 98, and 95 + systems. Like the Unix version, it includes many frequently + requested new features, and has an API that allows it to be extended + to meet users' needs more easily. It also allows limited support for + ISAPI extensions. + + + The Latest Version + ------------------ + + Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP + server project page under http://httpd.apache.org/. + + Documentation + ------------- + + The documentation available as of the date of this release is + also included, in HTML format, in the htdocs/manual/ directory. + For the most up-to-date documentation can be found on + http://httpd.apache.org/docs/. For Windows specific information, see + http://httpd.apache.org/docs/windows.html. + + WARNING + ------- + + Apache should never be used as a production server under any + consumer operating system such as Windows 95, 98, or ME (Millennium + Edition). Only Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 should be considered, and only + with appropriate NTFS file system and user security administration. + Apache runs on these consumer Windows environments only to + provide test, development or trusted intranet server platforms. + + Apache on Win32 should be considered initial-release quality code. + It has not been subjected to the same stresses on its stability and + security that the Unix releases have enjoyed, so there is a greater + possibility of undiscovered vulnerabilities to stability or security + of the Win32 port. + + Apache performs best, and is still most reliable on Unix platforms. + Over time the performance, reliability and security for the Apache + Win32 port has improved, and continues to improve. Folks doing + comparative reviews of webserver performance are still asked to + compare against Apache running on a Unix platform such as + Solaris, FreeBSD, or Linux. + + The Win32 code for Apache 2.0 has been entirely revised and large + segments have been rewritten from scratch. Once the Apache 2.0 + server is released, we strongly encourage all Win32 users to move to + that platform for increased stability and security. + + Installation + ------------ + + See the http://httpd.apache.org/docs/windows.html for details of how + to install, configure and run Apache. These documents are also + accessable from the "Documentation" program group listed within the + "Apache Web Server" Start Menu programs group created by the full + Apache Win32 program installer. + + Known Problems + -------------- + + To get information about the current set of known problems, see the + online bug reporting database at + + http://www.apache.org/bug_report.html + + Bugs which affect Apache on Windows and not Apache on Unix can be + found under the category "os-windows". + + Do not report configuration problems to this database. Please first + research the problem you are experiencing on the newsgroup + news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows and search the bugs + database before posting a bug report. + + Licensing + --------- + + Please see the file called LICENSE. + + Acknowledgments + ---------------- + + We wish to acknowledge the following copyrighted works that + make up portions of the Apache software: + + Portions of this software were developed at the National Center + for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of + Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. + + This software contains code derived from the RSA Data Security + Inc.
