apache2-2.0.46: description + notes
Apache
HTTP Server Project.
The Apache HTTP Server
Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP
server for various modern desktop and server operating systems, such
as UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a
secure, efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP services
in sync with the current HTTP standards.
To facilitate migration from earlier releases of Apache, this
package will not replace currently installed Freeware Apache
1.x packages.

SSL NOTES: This package includes
mod_ssl.
- To use SSL, the Apache startup script in
/etc/init.d/ should be changed from performing
"apachectl start" to
"apachectl startssl".
- Please read the Apache SSL/TLS Encryption FAQ, particularly
the item on entropy. There is presently no /dev/random
on pre-6.5.19 IRIX, and the mod_ssl builtin PRNG seed usually does
not suffice. Alternatives such as the Entropy Gathering
Daemon or the truerand
program appear to work well.
|
Also note that mod_auth_digest requires
/dev/random,
which only exists on IRIX 6.5.19 and later systems. It will not work
on older versions of IRIX.
