How to get Rainer Keuchels' Apache port working on an Axim X51V:

---Prerequisites:
* Download:
apache-arm-ppc-wce300-2002-10-18.tar.gz
celib-3.13-dll-bin-all-platforms.tar.gz
and unpack
apache-arm-ppc-wce300 and
wince-arm-pocket-wce300-release
somewhere.
Copy the folders to your pda.


* Get a registry editor and a good file explorer. I use:
PHM registry editor
and
Total Commander


---On your device:
* Copy celib.dll to \Windows


* Create a new root folder:
I chose to create it in the BIS.
\unix


* Create a logfile folder inside the root folder.
\unix\logs


* Copy the "apache" folder to the root folder.
The root folder now looks like this:
\unix (root)
\unix\logs (logfile folder)
\unix\apache (apache folder. Contains apache.exe and subfolders)


* Edit \unix\apache\conf\httpd.conf (this is probably easier to do on a pc)
The line:
ServerRoot "/speicherkarte/apache"
should be:
ServerRoot "/unix/apache"

The line:
ServerName jornada....
Should be:
ServerName 127.0.0.1

The line:
DocumentRoot "/speicherkarte/apache/htdocs"
Can be anything. It's the folder that contains the web page that you want to serve.
I chose (the test page):
DocumentRoot "/unix/apache/htdocs"

The line:
<Directory "/speicherkarte/apache/htdocs">
Should be the same as DocumentRoot:
<Directory "/unix/apache/htdocs">

The line:
ServerSignature On
can be left unchanged. I however changed it to Off:
ServerSignature Off


* Create a new registry key called Environment in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Environment


* Create string values APACHEDIR, CELIBSTDLOGDIR inside the Environment key:
APACHEDIR = \unix\apache
CELIBSTDLOGDIR = \unix\logs


* Fire up apache.exe and look at your working web server.
With some more tweaks you can get cgi/perl working.

I've attached my httpd.conf. Unzip it to your \unix\apache\conf

Pretty sweet. One question, however. Why do you not simply use Mobile Apache?

The first url points to the apache web server that this mini howto is made for.
The only other web server in the second url (that is free and not the above apache port) is picowebserver, and according to someone here that one can only serve static pages.
I'm working on a mini howto for getting cgi(perl) working with above apache port.

I got cgi/perl working, so now I've got an apache web server with cgi on my x51v (besides being able to write and run perl scripts on it).
If anyone is interested in a mini howto just holler at me.

Hey its outdated by a few years... I'm using 2.2 x86 and x64 for work...
But still its a nice toy... so put forth your perl experience

stevodude

AHhahahah thats freaking awsome!!!... :approve: :approve: :approve:

OK gimme some CGI/Perl setup please :approve: :love:

Once installed I can browse to main index.html

If i try to go to test.htm that is in htdocs, the image doesn't show, and I get an error "URL /cgi-bin/printenv.pl was not found " like the root is not set... or is wrong.

I changed the httpd.conf ServerRoot to "/unix/apache" - apache & perl installed in root folder of pda in /unix/apache/ etc...

any ideas?, is there another location in httpd.conf I have to change?

ah found speicherkarte left in 'icon' directory in httpd.conf.

still have an error the the test & test2 html files.

I'm terribly sorry I haven't seen your posts. The perlce version I installed is at http://perlce.sourceforge.net/
@steveodude: I hope this will fix your problem. I installed everything at once; Apache, console, perl, ssh and so on, but this is at least some of what you'll have to do:
Perl needs the actual OS to execute the scripts, so you have to add the attached registry files (change the path to your perl executable with a text editor first) to your registry. This will have the effect that you'll be able to click perl scripts with a file explorer to execute them (Though you might need a console for that).

The registry value "PERL5LIB" = "\SD Card\unix\usr\perl5\lib" have to be created in the "Environment" key and the path points to the "lib" folder inside your perl folder.

Some snippets from my httpd.conf:

Code:

ServerRoot "/SD Card/UNIX/usr/apache" #<---- apache.exe lives here DocumentRoot "/SD Card/UNIX/public_html" #<----my html pages live here

You'll also have to change your "Directory" line if you change the folder where your webpages reside:

Code:

<Directory "/SD Card/UNIX/public_html">

The "ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/" needs to be changed as well. This is a part of my httpd.conf:

Code:

##------------------DaLabradors' httpd.conf------------------------- <IfModule mod_alias.c> Alias /icons/ "/SD Card/UNIX/usr/apache/icons/" <Directory "/SD Card/UNIX/usr/apache/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/SD Card/UNIX/public_html/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/SD Card/UNIX/public_html/cgi-bin"> ScriptInterpreterSource registry AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </IfModule> ##------------------DaLabradors' httpd.conf-------------------------
