<h3>Installation with Apache 1.3.X/2.X web server</h3>
</div>
-<p>STEPS:</p>
-<p>1. Install apache web server and locate the installation folder(For the defalt installation this is "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache" for apache 1.3.X and "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2" for apache 2.X). Let say this folder to be APACHE_FOLDER.</p>
-<p>2. Unzip axis-c-1.1-win32.zip to a folder of your choice. Say this folder is AXIS_EXTRACT.</p>
-<p>3. Inside the extracted folder AXIS_EXTRACT you have a sub folder called deploy. Copy the whole deploy folder to APACHE_FOLDER.</p>
-<p>4. Rename copied "deploy" folder to "Axis". Lets say this folder to be AXIS_FOLDER.</p>
-<p>5. Set environment variable AXIS_HOME to point to above folder.</p>
-<p>6. Add AXIS_FOLDER/libs to the PATH environment variable.</p>
-<p>7. Edit Apache configuration file httpd.conf located in APACHE_FOLDER/conf and add following lines at the end.<br>
-<br>LoadModule axis_module modules/AXISMODULE<br><Location /axis><br>SetHandler axis<br></Location><br>
-<br>Where AXISMODULE is either mod_axis.dll for apache 1.3.X or mod_axis2.dll for apache 2.X.<br>
-<br>8. Copy AXISMODULE from the AXIS_EXTRACT/bin folder to APACHE_FOLDER/modules folder.</p>
-<p>9. Open the AXIS_FOLDER/axiscpp.conf_win for editing. The contents of the file will look as follows.</p>
-<p>AXISLOGPATH:XXXX</p>
-<p>WSDDFILEPATH:YYYY</p>
-<p>Where XXXX will be the path to a file named AxisLog (The log file)and YYYY will be the path to the server.wsdd file. Give the appropriate values for XXXX and YYYY as follows.</p>
-<p>i.e.</p>
-<p>AXISLOGPATH: [APACHE_HOME]\Axis\logs\AxisLog</p>
-<p>WSDDFILEPATH: [APACHE_HOME]\Axis\conf\WSDDFILE</p>
-<p>Where WSDDFILE is [APACHE_HOME]\Axis\conf\server.wsdd for Apache 1.3 and Apache 2. (There will be three wsdd files in the [APACHE_HOME]\Axis\conf\ rename the relevant wsdd file for your platform to server.wsdd).<br>
-<br>Also in order to run the samples provided do the following.<br>Open server.wsdd for editing. For each service element, locate the element "parameter", having the value "classname" for the "name" attribute.<br>Change the value of the "value" attribute, to have the absolute path to the indicated webservice dll in that value.<br>
+<p>Steps:<br>
+<br> 1. Install apache web server and locate the installation folder(For the default installation this is "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache" for apache 1.3.X and "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2" for apache 2.X). Lets say this folder to be APACHE_FOLDER.<br>
+<br> 2. Unzip the binary distribution to a folder of your choice. Say this folder is AXIS_EXTRACT.<br>
+<br> 3. Inside the extracted folder AXIS_EXTRACT you have a sub folder called deploy. Copy the whole deploy folder to APACHE_FOLDER.<br>
+<br> 4. Rename copied "deploy" folder to "Axis". Lets say this folder to be AXIS_FOLDER.<br>

+<br> 6. Add AXIS_FOLDER/libs to the PATH environment variable.<br>
+<br> 7. Edit Apache configuration file httpd.conf located in APACHE_FOLDER/conf and add following lines at the end.<br>
+<br>LoadModule axis_module modules/AXISMODULE<br><Location><br>SetHandler axis<br><Location><br>
+<br> Where AXISMODULE is either mod_axis.dll for apache 1.3.X or mod_axis2.dll for apache 2.X.<br>
+<br> 8. Copy AXISMODULE from the AXIS_EXTRACT/bin folder to APACHE_FOLDER/modules folder.<br>
+<br> 9. Copy AxisServer.dll from the AXIS_EXTRACT/bin folder to AXIS_FOLDER/libs<br>
+<br> 10.If you want to use the Expat parser with Axis C++ Rename AxisXMLParser_Expat.dll from AXIS_EXTRACT/bin folder to AxisXMLParser.dll and copy it to AXIS_FOLDER/libs<br>
+<br>

-<p>Rename AXIS_FOLDER/axiscpp.conf_win to AXIS_FOLDER/axiscpp.conf</p>
<p>
<strong>Installing the Expat XML parser</strong>
</p>
-<p>The Axis cpp binary uses Expat as the XML parser.You need to download the Expat-1.95.7 binary version from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/</a>
-<br>Extract the Expat binaries to a folder Called Expat ,we will refer this folder as [EXPAT_EXTRACT].<br>Copy libexpat.dll file from [EXPAT_EXTRACT]\Libs to [AXIS_HOME]/libs/</p>
-<p>10. Restart the apache web server. If you have done correctly apache server should start without giving any error.</p>
+<p>If you decide to use the Expat parser you need to install the Expat parser. Download the Expat-1.95.7 binary version from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/</a>

+<br>If you want to use the Xerces parser with Axis C++ Rename AxisXMLParser_Xerces.dll from AXIS_EXTRACT/bin folder to AxisXMLParser.dll and copy it to AXIS_FOLDER/libs</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Installing the Xerces XML parser</strong>
+<br> If you decide the Xerces parser you need to install the Xerces parser. Download the Xerces-C 2.2.0( 32 bit binary release)from: <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi.">http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi.</a>
<br>
-<strong>apache 1.3.X :</strong>
+<br>Extract the Xerces-C 2.2.0 binary version. We will refer this folder as [XERCES_EXTRACT]. Copy xerces-c_2_2_0.dll from [XERCES_EXTRACT]/bin/ to [AXIS_HOME]/libs/<br>
<br>
+<br> 11. Open the AXIS_FOLDER/axiscpp.conf_win for editing. The contents of the file will look as follows.<br>
+<br> LogPath:XXXX<br>WSDDFilePath:YYYY<br>
+<br>Where XXXX will be the path to a file named AxisLog (The log file)and YYYY will be the path to the server.wsdd file. Give the appropriate values for XXXX and YYYY as follows.<br>

+<br>It is recommended that apache 1.3.X be started as "apache -k start" on the command line<br>
+<br>
<strong>apache 2.X :</strong>
+<br>While testing the apache 2 module a problem was noted with the apache 2 web server, in that the webserver takes up about 98% of CPU time and the server does not even serve the startup page. The workaround for this is to start the apache web server as "apache -X" to make it run single threaded. While this is sufficient to test the apache 2 module this problem needs to be investigated further.<br>
+<br> 10. Open a internet browser and check http://localhost/axis. If the module has loaded properly then you should get the axis welcome page with a listing of deployed web services.<br>
