Apache for OS/2 and Local Testing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For TCP/IP 2.0 or greater
(including TCP/IP 3.0 included with Warp Connect)

To do local server testing, you need to have a OS/2 TCP/IP Stack
installed on your system. To set up the loopback interface you will need
to execute the following:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add default 127.0.0.1 0

Also modify your \tcpip\etc\hosts file to contain the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Make sure you have 'SET ETC=\TCPIP\ETC' statement in your config.sys
file.

NOTE: If you are using MPTS the steps above should reference the mptn
directory instead of the tcpip directory.

Once this setup is configured, you should be able to do a 'ping
127.0.0.1' or a 'ping localhost' and get an immediate response. Once the
'ping localhost' command works, you should be able to start the Apache
Web Server and use any browser running on the same machine to access
Apache. Just use 'http://localhost/' as the URL.

NOTE: For TCP/IP 3.0 it may also be necessary to turn on "Look through
HOSTS list before going to nameserver" on the second page of the
HOSTNAMES tab in the TCP/IP Configuration notebook.

For the Internet Access Kit (IAK)
(included in OS/2 Warp's Bonus Pack)

To do local server testing, you need to have the IAK installed on your
system from the Bonus Pack floppies or CD-ROM. To set up the loopback
interface you will need to execute the following:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add default 127.0.0.1 0

Make sure your "ServerName" directive in HTTPD.CONF file is:
ServerName 127.0.0.1

Once this setup is configured, you should be able to do a 'ping
127.0.0.1' and get an immediate response. You should be able to start
the Apache Web Server and use any browser running on the same machine to
access Apache. Just use 'http://127.0.0.1/' as the URL.
