Setting up Apache Server for Mac 10.6.8
 

I have downloaded the Tarball but fining it incredibly difficult to understand the compiling and installation instructions provided on http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/manual/install.html#configure.

Can someone explain in lay how exactly i should download, extract, configure the source tree, instal and customise? What program should i be completing this command in...Terminal??

**To configure the source tree using all the default options, simply type ./configure.**

Please help...

Your mac comes with an apache2 anyway. Or have you to setup a linux box on mac? Which linux distribution?

if 2nd type in bash:

cd /Directory/wgere/you/downloaded/ApachePackage
tar -xvzf ApachePackage.tgz
cd ApachePackage
./configure
make
sudo make install
