Compiling and installing apache from source.

===Apache2.3.12-beta from source===
I built apr, apu, and openssl from source. The first two are needed because apache-2.3 requires apr-1.4 which is available with ubuntu11. Without these three, mod_ssl, mod_rewrite, and mod_auth_digest won't work. Openssl is built with the following options:
%%
sh config no-threads -fPIC --prefix=/opt/ssl
%%

Then compile apache
%%
./configure --enable-rewrite --disable-userdir \
--disable-negotiation --enable-vhost-alias --enable-info \
--enable-heartbeat --enable-heartmonitor --enable-lbmethod-heartbeat \
--enable-lbmethod-bybusyness --enable-lbmethod-bytraffic \
--enable-lbmethod-byrequests --enable-static-ab --enable-ssl \
--enable-proxy-ajp --enable-proxy-balancer --enable-proxy-http \
--enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy --enable-deflate \
--enable-so --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache --enable-file-cache \
--enable-mods-shared=most --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/bin/apu-1-config --with-ssl=/opt/ssl
# --enable-mpms-shared=event,prefork,worker
# --enable-privileges Per-virtualhost Unix UserIDs and enhanced security for Solaris
# heartbeat is still under development, perhaps I should skip them during compilation
%%

Here's what I have
%%
# httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.3.5 (Unix)
Server built: Feb 24 2010 21:27:04
Server's Module Magic Number: 20091230:2
Server loaded: APR 1.4.3-dev, APR-UTIL 1.4.0-dev
Compiled using: APR 1.4.3-dev, APR-UTIL 1.4.0-dev
Architecture: 64-bit
Server MPM: event
threaded: yes (fixed thread count)
forked: yes (variable process count)
%%


===Apache2.2.11 build rpm===
Download the apache tar bz2 file
Edit httpd.spec and remove a tag that is not supported
Create a tgz archive
....
rpmbuild -tb httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz

===Apache2.2.4 quick compile (RedHat layout)===
%%
./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf \
--enable-mods-shared=all --enable-ssl --enable-rewrite --enable-proxy \
--enable-proxy-ajp --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache --enable-mem-cache \
--docdir=/var/www/html --enable-layout=RedHat \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib64/httpd --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --includedir=/usr/include --enable-authn-dbm
# Optional
--with-mpm=worker : you need php compiled with thread safety (--enable-experimental-zts)
%%

and you'll need a proper init script
%%

===Apache 2.0 compile===
%%
./configure --prefix=/opt/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all \
--enable-ssl --enable-rewrite --enable-proxy --enable-deflate \
--enable-cache --enable-disk-cache --enable-file-cache --enable-mem-cache \
--enable-suexec
%%

Useful configure options
--enable-layout=xxx : check config.layout for detail

===Apache 1.3.x compile===
You will be needing the following packages:

apache_1.3.14.tar.gz http://www.apache.org
openssl-0.9.6.tar.gz http://www.openssl.org

==What about stupid solaris?==
What does this tell you? Everything that comes with solaris by default don't fking work.
