readme.os2

This is a port of Apache/2.4.55 for OS/2 & eComStation.

It was built using GCC v10.3.0 and requires the libc066 runtime dll from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.6-csd6.zip & libcx from rpm

Changes in v2.4.55
- Updated apache source to 2.4.55
- Updated to openssl 1.1.1q

General feedback can be provided to paul@smedley.id.au, bug reports should go to http://mantis.smedley.id.au

Important notes:
- plugins for 2.2.x won't work, bug me for updates :)
- httpd.conf *will* need updating, I've started to fix the DLL names in /apache24/conf/httpd.conf.sample but have only done the essentials needed to get the daemon started
- this has had *minimal* testing!

Steven Levine added support for the BeginLibPath httpd.conf directive.  This eliminates the need for a wrapper script to configure BEGINLIBPATH for httpd.  Typical usage is:

  BeginLibPath "d:/Internet/php7;d:/Internet/php8"

which will allow modphp to find and load the php DLLs.
