Installing WhizBase on Windows with Apache

This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache Web Server. To download Apache Web Server installation package please visit http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi .

To set up WhizBase to work with Apache on Windows you need to stop the Apache server, and edit your srm.conf or httpd.conf to configure Apache to work with WBSP.
Although there can be a few variations of configuring WBSP under Apache, these are simple enough to be used by the newcomer. Please consult the Apache Docs for further configuration directives.

To install WBSP insert these lines to your conf file (assuming that you have installed WBSP in c:\wbsp\):

<Directory "c:/wbsp/">
    AllowOverride all
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /wbsp/ "c:/wbsp/"
AddType application/x-httpd-wbsp .wbsp
Action application/x-httpd-wbsp "/wbsp/wbsp.exe"

You must repeat from last two lines for each extension you want associated with WBSP scripts. (.wbsp,.sr,.aut,.ic and .inc are recommended.)

Please note that we have done our best to disable calling WBSP directly:
http://servername/wbsp/wbsp.exe?.....
so please do not change the .exe extension on wbsp.exe file.

As a further precaution, we recommend you change the "/wbsp/" ScriptAlias to something more random, to prevent any attempts to call your binary (like the Code Red scripts) for returning a response other than 404.

Remember when you have finished to restart the server, for example,
NET STOP APACHE
followed by
NET START APACHE
