The purpose of this document is to describe the setup of the secure web application server on FreeBsd.

Get the distributions:

# su
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.2.3.tar.gz

Unpack distributions:

# tar xfz httpd-2.2.3.tar.gz

Now, you would do all this if you didn’t install the PORTS during your initial install. �
Since this is going to be my firewall / gateway, I installed them and only had to do the following:

# cd /usr/ports/apache22

Build And Install Apache:

cd ../apache_2.2.3
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache –enable-module=all –enable-shared=max
make
make install

To configure Apache you should edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line to the startup script to launch Apache at startup:
(for example, into /etc/rc.local file)

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
