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.
