OS/390 represents characters with the ebcdic code set. The files +in the apache source trees on the web represent characters using the ascii +code set. The procedure described here de-compresses the archive file and +extracts the files from the archive while translating characters in the files +from ascii to ebcdic. Once you download the compressed archive to an OS/390 +system and follow this procedure, you will be ready to configure, compile, and +install apache on your OS/390 system. + +This procedure assumes that you will download the apache tree using a browser +on a workstation and then you will transfer the compressed archive from your +workstation to an OS/390 system. You could probably just ftp the compressed +archive to your OS/390 system ifyou like. If you download to a workstation as +described here, it is assumed that the workstation has TCP/IP and FTP installed +on it. It is also assumed that you have TCP/IP and FTP access from the +workstation to the OS/390 system you want to put apache on. + +Procedure for extracting apache source to an OS/390 system: +----------------------------------------------------------- + +- From either www.apache.org/dist or from dev.apache.org/from-CVS/apache-version + select one of the source trees with a file type of .tar.gz or .tar.Z and + download it to your workstation. Ensure that the name of the downloaded + file remains the same as the name of the file on the web page. + +- Also from the same web page download xebcdic.sh. + +- From your workstation ftp to the OS/390 system you would like to run apache + on. + - ftp os390-host-name + - You'll be prompted for user id and password. + - Once you've logged in successfully you'll get the ftp prompt. + +- FTP the .tar.gz file and xebcdic.sh files you downloaded to your workstation + to the OS/390 system. The xebcdic.sh file must be ftp'ed in ascii mode. The + apache compressed archive file must be ftp'ed in binary mode. + - put xebcdic.sh + - bin + - put apache-compressed-archive-file-name + +- End your ftp connection. + - bye or quit + +- From your OS/390 system use the xebcdic.sh shell script to de-compress and + extract the apache source. This script will de-compress the apache source + tree and will then extract all the files from the archive. As the files are + extracted, they are all translated from ascii to ebcdic. All the gif files + are then re-extracted from the archive without applying the ascii to ebcdic + translation so that they won't be corrupted. + + The name of the compressed archive file you specify to xebcdic.sh must follow + the following format: + + apache-version_timeStamp.tar.gz or + apache-version_timeStamp.tar.Z or + apache-version.tar.gz or + apache-version.tar.Z or + apache_version.tar.gz or + apache_version.tar.Z + + When you invoke the script, you may specify which file types should be + re-extracted without applying the ascii to ebcdic translation. This can be + used to save static pages as ascii improving performance when serving those + pages by avoiding the ebcdic to ascii translation at the time they are served. + Please refer to top-of-source-tree/src/README.ebcdic for information on how + to use the AddType and DefaultType directives to serve static pages without + trying to translate from ebcdic to ascii. + + - To extract the source tree and have html and txt files re-extracted + without translation specify the following: + + ./xebcdic.sh apache-compressed-archive-file-name --f=*.html --f=*.txt + + - To extract the source tree and have the static text content files that + are part of the source tree stored on your OS/390 system in ascii specify + the following: + + ./xebcdic.sh apache-compressed-archive-file-name --all-ascii-content + +- The apache source tree is now ready for you to configure, make and install. + Refer to top-of-source-tree/INSTALL for directions on how to proceed. + |
