we install Apache in the Linux server:
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# make
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# make install
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# rm -f /usr/sbin/apachectl
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# rm -f /usr/man/man8/apachectl.8
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# rm -rf /home/httpd/icons/
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# rm -rf /home/httpd/htdocs/
[root@deep ]/apache_1.3.12# cd /var/tmp/php-4.0
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# install -m 644 php.ini.dist /usr/lib/php.ini
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -rf /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crl/
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -rf /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -rf /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.csr/
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -rf /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -rf /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.prm/
[root@deep ]/php-4.0.0# rm -f /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf srm.conf.default access.conf access.conf.default
* The make command will compile all source files into executable binaries
* The make install will install the binaries and any supporting files into the appropriate locations.
* The rm -f command will remove the small script apachectl responsible to start and stop the Apache daemon since we use a better script named httpd located under the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory that takes advantage of Linux system V.
* We also remove the /home/httpd/icons directory used under Apache when you use its automatic indexing feature. This feature can bring about a security risk, and for this reason we’ve disabled it in the configuration file. Therefore, we can safely remove the directory to make space on the Linux server. The /home/httpd/htdocs directory handles all documentation files related to Apache, so after we have finished reading the documentation we can remove it to make space.
* The install -m command will install the php.ini.dist file under the /etc/httpd/ directory, and will rename it php.ini; This file controls many aspects of PHP’s behavior.
* The ssl.crl, ssl.crt, ssl.csr, ssl.key and ssl.prm directories under /etc/httpd/conf are all of the directories related to SSL, and handle private and public keys. Since we use another location, /etc/ssl/, we can remove them safely.
* Finally, we remove the unused srm.conf, srm.conf.default, access.conf and access.conf.default files, whose purposes are now handled by the httpd.conf Apache file.
Please as usual do cleanup later:
[root@deep ]/# cd /var/tmp
[root@deep ]/tmp# rm -rf apache-version/ apache-version.tar.gz mod_ssl-version-version/ mod_ssl-version-version.tar.gz php-version/ php-version.tar.gz mod_perl-version/ mod_perl-version.tar.gz
The rm command will remove all the source files we have used to compile and install Apache, mod_ssl, mod_perl, and php. It will also remove the Apache, mod_ssl, mod_perl, and php compressed archives from the /var/tmp directory.
