This guide describes how to install, configure, and manage the Apache Web server using Apache Manager on NetWare® 6.5 SP8.
This guide is divided into the following sections:
It is intended for Web or network administrators who install, configure, and manage the Apache Web server on NetWare (not Linux*). NetWare developers might also find the information to be helpful.
If you are already familiar with the Apache Web server and prefer to manage it by manually modifying Apache directives in the httpd.conf file, refer to the official Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2 Documentation on the Apache Web site. However, if you are managing multiple installations of Apache across multiple platforms, you can use Apache Manager to manage them all from a single administration point, saving you time and effort. For more information about Apache Manager, see Section 2.3, Using Apache Manager in Your Web Browser.
Because Apache Manager uses all of the same Apache directives you use when manually editing the httpd.conf configuration file, hypertext links to the official online Apache documentation set are included throughout this guide. These links are intended to lead you to additional information about Apache directives, including how and why each directive is used. This information can help you understand the effects of the changes you make using Apache Manager.
We want to hear your comments and suggestions about this guide and the other documentation included with this product. Please use the User Comment feature at the bottom of each page of the online documentation.
The most recent documentation is available on the NetWare 6.5 SP8 Documentation Web site.

Also, a copy of the official Apache documentation set is installed to your server in the volume:\apache2\manual directory. You can access it using a Web browser after you have installed NetWare. Use your server's URL with /manual at the end of it. For example,
http://myserver.mycompany.com/manual
