Installing the Apache Web Server (optional)

Figure 16 Apache Web Server Installation Option



After Compass installation, you are asked if you want to install
Apache Web Server, which is required to support the new Compass
Web Interface. If you do not already have Apache Web Server
installed on your hard drive and you plan to use the Web Interface,
click on Yes.

The files are immediately installed to \COMPASS\apache, and you
are returned to the installation process. This installation also loads all
HTML files and logs that are used to display and support the Web
Interface.

Even after successful installation, Apache Web Server can not start
properly if there is no DNS domain name specified in the Windows
NT / 2000 TCP/IP Properties / Settings window.

In Windows NT, open the Control Panel, select Network, then
Protocols. On the DNS tab, enter a domain name in the Domain
field. Click on OK to save your entry.

For Win2000, select Network on the Control Panel, then Dialup
Connections
. Select Local Area Connections, then Properties,
TCP/IP, Properties, Advanced Properties, and finally, the DNS
tab.

On the window below, enter the domain name in the DNS suffix for
this connection
field and select the Use this connection's DNS
suffix in DNS registration
option.
