Apache Under Windows

Apache 1.3 will work under Windows NT 4.0 and 2000. Its performance under Windows 95 and 98 is not guaranteed. If running on Windows 95, the “Winsock2” upgrade must be installed before Apache will run. “Winsock2” for Windows 95 is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2. Be warned that the Dialup Networking 1.2 (MS DUN) updates include a Winsock2 that is entirely insufficient, and the Winsock2 update must be reinstalled after installing Windows 95 dialup networking.

Apache v2 will run under Windows 2000 and NT, but, when we went to press, they did not work under Win 95, 98, or Me. These different versions are the same as far as Apache is concerned, except that under NT, Apache can also be run as a service. From Apache v1.3.14, emulators are available to provide NT services under the other Windows platforms. Performance under Win32 may not be as good as under Unix, but this will probably improve over coming months.

Since Win32 is considerably more consistent than the sprawling family of Unices, and since it loads extra modules as DLLs at runtime rather than compiling them at make time, it is practical for the Apache Group to offer a precompiled binary executable as the standard distribution.
