Toolserver:Apache testing

From mediawiki.org

This page was moved from the Toolserver wiki.
Toolserver has been replaced by Toolforge. As such, the instructions here may no longer work, but may still be of historical interest.
Please help by updating examples, links, template links, etc. If a page is still relevant, move it to a normal title and leave a redirect.

As of 2011-06-20, we are testing the Apache web server (httpd) to replace ZWS. The test server runs on http://wolfsbane.toolserver.org:81/~username/; please consider testing your tools here.

Generally, Apache should work the same as ZWS, but there are two important differences:

  • rewrite.scripts do not work; instead, you need to use mod_rewrite directives in your .htaccess
  • Before you can use PHP, you need to run install-php on wolfsbane, which will add the necessary configuration to your .htaccess.

  • On July 16th 2011 Apache doesn't work. Was not working for around two weeks at least.
