1. Download the binary distribution from http://nagoya.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/linux/.
  2. Uncompress the file.
    $ tar zxvf httpd-2.0.40-i686-pc-linux-gnu-slackware81.tar.gz
    
  3. Install binary distribution in a directory specified by you. For example, ~/apache.
    $ cd httpd-2.0.40
    $ install-bindist.sh ~/apache 
    
  4. Modify the configuration files: Choose the Listen or Port setting. If necessary, also modify the Group setting in the httpd.conf file if necessary. In the example of Apache 2.x, it could be:
    Listen 6789
    
    In the example of Apache 1.x, it could be:
    Port 6789
    Group nogroup
    
    $ cd ~/apache/conf
    $ vi httpd.conf
    
  5. Start up your server. For example, you start up your server on kira.
    $ cd ~/apache/bin
    $ apachectl start
    
  6. Test your server,
    $ lynx http://kira:6789/
    
  7. Stop your server.
