This blog will help a Apache aspirant to install a Apache on his AIX machine.
Prerequisites
Procedure
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65> sudo ./configure --enable-mods-shared=most --prefix=/export/apps/apache/app_name --with-mpm=worker
Similarly it could also be installed under a folder inside any directory residing in the "app_name" folder
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65> sudo ./configure --enable-mods-shared=most --prefix=/export/apps/apache/app_name/app_name-apache --with-mpm=worker
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65>sudo make
Till these two steps you will not be able to see the apache installed
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65> sudo make install
after this step you will be able to see the apache installed.
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/app_name-apache>ls -lrt

Thus the apache is installed.

file " httpd-std.conf" is the copy of the httpd.conf. Even then you can't find it, take backup of current httpd.conf (to be on safer side) and then do the following changes.
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/app_name-apache/conf>vi httpd.conf
Listen xx.XX.xxx.XXX:80
ServerName app_name.domain.com
User apache
Group www
for directory index page
make a html file named "mytesting.html" and keep this inside "cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/app_name-apache/htdocs"
make following changes in the httpd.conf file
DirectoryIndex mytesting.html
Now restart the Apache. now when you will look up " app_name.domain.com" on internet explorer this will show the page "mytesting.html" that you made.
Prerequisites
- Download Apache software [ Ref:- http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi ]
- AIX Machine
- Essential libraries- The GNU C compiler (gcc) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is recommended (version 2.7.2 is fine). It’s libraries are also needed. It’s necessary to have math library (math.h) installed too. like autoconf , gzip, GNU make, GNU diffutils, autogen, GNU libtool 1.4.2 or higher, GNU m4, automake, gperf, expect, GNU Bison, patch, tar, bzip2, bash shell
- Memory space- about 10 MB of memory is occupied by the Apache and 100 MB of temporary memory during the installation
- Users and group
- IP address/ domain name for instance- I am assuming with IP "xx.XX.xxx.XXX" and domain name "app_name.domain.com"
Procedure

cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name> tar -xvf httpd-2.0.65.tar
This will extract the folder.

I am assuming that you are not logged in with apache ID so the I am using "sudo" with each command.
Similarly it could also be installed under a folder inside any directory residing in the "app_name" folder
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65> sudo ./configure --enable-mods-shared=most --prefix=/export/apps/apache/app_name/app_name-apache --with-mpm=worker
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65>sudo make
Till these two steps you will not be able to see the apache installed
cdcux00:neha:/export/apps/apache/app_name/httpd-2.0.65> sudo make install
after this step you will be able to see the apache installed.
