This appendix covers detailed, step-by-step instructions for installing the Apache web server on your system, and covers Microsoft Windows and Linux. Apache is needed only on the Server side, not on the Client.
Specific configuration of Apache for the solution described in this book is covered in Chapter 3.
Note
For Server installations on Microsoft Windows, Apache should be installed before installing Subversion. Doing so means that the Subversion installs will detect the presence of Apache and will automatically configure itself accordingly. In simpler terms, doing it this way means less work.
Note
