Apache httpd setup and installation

apache, apr

Solution

When it tells you `Please read documentation` it means that you should go read Apache documentation ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html ) which tells you to

download the latest versions of both APR and APR-Util from Apache APR, unpack them into ./srclib/apr and ./srclib/apr-util (be sure the domain names do not have version numbers; for example, the APR distribution must be under ./srclib/apr/)

then do

./configure --with-included-apr

Problem

I am trying to install Apache HTTP server locally in my box as a regular user (non-root). I have downloaded Apache 2.4.1 version of Apache HTTP server [http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi]. However when I am trying to build and install locally in my box I am getting below error: ``` httpd/httpd-2.4.1 1059> ./configure checking for chosen layout... Apache checking for working mkdir -p... yes checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Configuring Apache Portable Runtime library ... checking for APR... no configure: error: APR not found. Please read the documentation. ``` I am not sure what dependency it is looking for - I mean the download package does not contains it? What I need to do to build / deploy Apache HTTP server?
