<p>The <code>configure</code> script configures the source tree
for compiling and installing the Apache HTTP Server on your
particular platform. Various options allow the compilation of a
server corresponding to your personal requirements.</p>
<p>This script, included in the root directory of the source
distribution, is for compilation on Unix and Unix-like systems
only. For other platforms, see the <a href="../platform/">platform</a> documentation.</p>

<h3><a name="configurationoptions" id="configurationoptions">Configuration options</a></h3>
<p>The following options influence the behavior of
<code>configure</code> itself.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-C</code></dt>
<dt><code>--config-cache</code></dt>
<dd>This is an alias for <code>--cache-file=config.cache</code></dd>
<dt><code>--cache-file=<var>FILE</var></code></dt>
<dd>The test results will be cached in file <var>FILE</var>.
This option is disabled by default.</dd>
<dt><code>-h</code></dt>
<dt><code>--help [short|recursive]</code></dt>
<dd>Output the help and exit. With the argument <code>short</code> only
options specific to this package will displayed. The argument
<code>recursive</code> displays the short help of all the included
packages.</dd>
<dt><code>-n</code></dt>
<dt><code>--no-create</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>configure</code> script is run normally but does
not create output files. This is useful to check the test results
before generating makefiles for compilation.</dd>
<dt><code>-q</code></dt>
<dt><code>--quiet</code></dt>
<dd>Do not print <code>checking ...</code> messages during the
configure process.</dd>
<dt><code>--srcdir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Defines directory <var>DIR</var> to be the source file directory.
Default is the directory, where configure is located, or the parent
directory <code>..</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--silent</code></dt>
<dd>Same as <code>--quiet</code></dd>
<dt>-V</dt>
<dt>--version</dt>
<dd>Display copyright information and exit.</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a name="installationdirectories" id="installationdirectories">Installation
directories</a></h3>
<p>These options define the installation directory. The installation
tree depends on the selected layout.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--prefix=<var>PREFIX</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install architecture-independent files in <var>PREFIX</var>.
By default the installation directory is set to
<code>/usr/local/apache2</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--exec-prefix=<var>EPREFIX</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install architecture-dependent files in <var>EPREFIX</var>.
By default the installation directory is set to the
<var>PREFIX</var> directory.</dd>
</dl>
<p>By default, <code>make install</code> will install all the files in
<code>/usr/local/apache2/bin</code>, <code>/usr/local/apache2/lib</code>
etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than
<code>/usr/local/apache2</code> using <code>--prefix</code>,
for instance <code>--prefix=$HOME</code>.</p>
<h4><a name="layout" id="layout">Define a directory layout</a></h4>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-layout=<var>LAYOUT</var></code></dt>
<dd>Configure the source code and build scripts to assume an
installation tree based on the layout <var>LAYOUT</var>. This allows
you to separately specify the locations for each type of file within
the Apache HTTP Server installation. The <code>config.layout</code>
file contains several example configurations, and you can also create
your own custom configuration following the examples. The different
layouts in this file are grouped into <code><Layout
FOO>...</Layout></code> sections and referred to by name as
in <code>FOO</code>. The default layout is <code>Apache</code>.</dd>
</dl>
<h4><a name="directoryfinetuning" id="directoryfinetuning">Fine tuning of the installation
directories</a></h4>
<p>For better control of the installation directories, use the options
below. Please note that the directory defaults are set by
<code>autoconf</code> and be overwritten by the corresponding layout
setting.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--bindir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install user executables in <var>DIR</var>. The user executables
are supporting programs like <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a></code>,
<code class="program"><a href="../programs/dbmmanage.html">dbmmanage</a></code>, etc. which are useful for site
administrators. By default <var>DIR</var> is set to
<code><var>EPREFIX</var>/bin</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--datadir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install read-only architecture-independent data in <var>DIR</var>.
By default <code>datadir</code> is set to
<code><var>PREFIX</var>/share</code>. This option is offered by
<code>autoconf</code> and currently unused.</dd>
<dt><code>--includedir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install C header files in <var>DIR</var>. By default
<code>includedir</code> is set to
<code><var>EPREFIX</var>/include</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--infodir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Install info documentation in <var>DIR</var>.
By default <code>infodir</code> is set to
<code><var>PREFIX</var>/info</code>. This option is currently
unused.</dd>
<dt><code>--libdir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>

<dd>The Apache Portable Runtime Utilities (APU) are part of the
httpd source distribution and will automatically be build
together with the HTTP server. If you want to use an already installed
APU instead you have to tell <code>configure</code> the path to the
<code>apu-config</code> script. You may set the absolute path and name
or the directory to the installed APU. <code>apu-config</code> must
exists within this directory or the subdirectory
<code>bin</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--with-ssl=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>If <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code> has been enabled <code>configure</code>
searches for an installed OpenSSL. You can set the directory path
to the SSL/TLS toolkit instead.</dd>
<dt><code>--with-z=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd><code>configure</code> searches automatically for an installed
<code>zlib</code> library if your source configuration requires one
(e.g., when <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> is enabled). You can set the
directory path to the compression library instead.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Several features of the Apache HTTP Server, including
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html">mod_authn_dbm</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>'s DBM
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> use simple
key/value databases for quick lookups of information. SDBM is included
in the APU, so this database is always available. If you would like to
use other database types, use the following options to enable
them:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--with-gdbm[=<var>path</var>]</code></dt>
<dd>If no <var>path</var> is specified, <code>configure</code> will
search for the include files and libraries of a GNU DBM
installation in the usual search paths. An explicit
<var>path</var> will cause <code>configure</code> to look in
<code><var>path</var>/lib</code> and
<code><var>path</var>/include</code> for the relevant files.
Finally, the <var>path</var> may specify specific include and
library paths separated by a colon.</dd>
<dt><code>--with-ndbm[=<var>path</var>]</code></dt>
<dd>Like <code>--with-gdbm</code>, bur searches for a New DBM
installation.</dd>
<dt><code>--with-berkeley-db[=<var>path</var>]</code></dt>
<dd>Like <code>--with-gdbm</code>, but searches for a Berkeley DB
installation.</dd>
</dl>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
<p>The DBM options are provided by the APU and passed through to its
configuration script. They are useless when using an already
installed APU defined by <code>--with-apr-util</code>.</p>
<p>You may use more then one DBM implementation together with your
HTTP server. The appropriated DBM type will be configured within
the runtime configuration at each time.</p>

<h3><a name="supportopt" id="supportopt">Options for support programs</a></h3>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-static-support</code></dt>
<dd>Build a statically linked version of the support binaries. This
means, a stand-alone executable will be built with all the necessary
libraries integrated. Otherwise the support binaries are linked
dynamically by default.</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-suexec</code></dt>
<dd>Use this option to enable <code class="program"><a href="../programs/suexec.html">suexec</a></code>, which allows you to set
uid and gid for spawned processes. <strong>Do not use this
option unless you understand all the security implications of
running a suid binary on your server.</strong> Further options
to configure <code class="program"><a href="../programs/suexec.html">suexec</a></code> are described <a href="#suexec">below</a>.</dd> </dl>
<p>It is possible to create a statically linked binary of a single
support program by using the following options:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-static-ab</code></dt>
