| New version of APR |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Note that the included APR is now version 1.5, which adds several |
| subtle changes in the behavior of file handling, pipes and process |
| creation. Most importantly, there is finer control over the handles |
| inherited by processes, so the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid modules must |
| be updated for httpd-2.2.9 or later to run correctly on Windows. |
| |
| Most other third party modules are unaffected by this change. |
| |
| |
| Connecting to databases |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Four driver connectors are provided in the binary distribution, for |
| ODBC, SQLite3, PostgreSQL and Oracle. All require you to install the |
| corresponding client drivers. ODBC itself is installed at the time |
| you install your desired Windows ODBC provider or ODBC client driver. |
| |
| The sqlitedll.zip binary file can be obtained from; |
| |
| http://www.sqlite.org/download.html |
| |
| note that this binary was built with version 3.5.9 (earlier and |
| later version 3.5 driver .dll's may work.) |
| |
| The Oracle Instant Client - Basic driver can be obtained from |
| |
| http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html |
| |
| and note that this binary was built against version 11.1.0.6.0, |
| other version 11.1 drivers may work. |
| |
| The PostgreSQL binaries may be obtained from |
| |
| http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.1/win32/ |
| |
| and note that this binary was built against version 8.3.1-1, and |
| again it may work with other 8.1 version .dll's. |
| |
| For whichever database backend you configure, the corresponding driver |
| .dll's must be in your PATH (and in the systemwide path if used for |
| a service such as Apache httpd). |
