Apache and WINUAE
« on: June 02, 2003, 09:52:57 AM »
I'm interesting to put up a www-server with WINUAE. Is it possible to run Apache www-server with WINUAE using bsdsocket emulation? :-o

I can't really see the advantage of running Apache in WinUAE, except for maybe security (perhaps). It should work, though.

Thanks Tickly.
I'm using A1200 and running Apache there. I have plenty of cgi-scripts written an AREXX and that's the reason I need an Amiga(emulator) to execute them.  Everything is running fine so far. Now I'm little worried if my A1200 blows up. So I want to build up an emergency system. I'm running WINUAE on my PC so I thought maybe it is bossible...
I have tried it and Apache starts ok in WINUAE but it doesn't reply if I try to connect. I think I must do something in windows site? But what? :-?

I think I've seen this talked about before, from what I remember I don't think it's possible with the current version of WinUAE due to the way TCP/IP is implemented... the Amiga doesn't get it's own IP, and Windows has no idea what incoming ports should be forwarded to the WinUAE TCP/IP stack. The way WinUAE works right now, there's no way to forward anything incoming to WinUAE's stack.

Maybe this has changed, but I don't remember ever seeing it mentioned in the changelogs.

On another note, has anyone tried Amiga Apache on Amithlon yet? That would be a nifty little server :)

Hi,

I think that it is no problem of the bsdsocket-emulation, it is a
problem of how to make the needed settings to the TCP/IP stack.


e.g. you need a group "www" and a user "www" attached to this group.
This should be done in the system-settings. Also you must have a http
port-description (service).

Thanks for answers!
It seems that my intention is not bossible yet. Still I'm waiting and hoping that somebody discovers maybe some backdoor to fire up Apache with WinUAE. ;-)

To T_Bone
Yes, I have tried Apache with Amithlon. Because Miami works normally with Amithlon, Apache works normally too. I have tested this on Amithlon owned by my friend. So I don't have my own Amithlon to set up a server.  :-(
