1. Download Linux Toolbox for AIX in order to compile apache webserver source.

ULR : http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/ezinstall.html

Packages for compile.

./autoconf-2.59-1.aix5.1.noarch.rpm
./automake-1.8.5-1.aix5.1.noarch.rpm
./gcc-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
./gcc-cplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
./libgcc-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
./libstdcplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
./libstdcplusplus-devel-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
./libtool-1.5.8-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
./make-3.80-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
./m4-1.4.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

2. Install rpm Package

# rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

* Install all above packages.

3. Download apache source from apache foundation homepage.

http://www.apache.org

4. uncompress and extract tarball source.

# gzip -d httpd-2.2.23.tar.gz

# tar xf httpd-2.2.23.tar

5. Compile apache and install.

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \

--enable-module=rewrite \

--enable-module=so \

--enable-module=shared \

--enable-so=rewrite \

--enable-module=proxy \

--enable-so=proxy

# make install

6. modify default httpd.conf file

# cd /usr/local/apache2/conf

# vi httpd.conf

In httpd.conf file, default user and group's value is 'deamon' but there is no deamon account in AIX.

Add account for apache server. ('root' is not permitted user and group's value.)

7. test

# /usr/local/apache2/bin

# ./apachectl start

Check default web page from web browser.
