Web Servers
Caucus works with most HTTP 1.0 compliant web servers available for
the
platforms listed above. We provide specific installation instructions
for the
following servers:
- NSCA httpd server— http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu
- Apache httpd server— http://www.apache.org
- Netscape Enterprise Server 2.x— http://home.netscape.com
- Netscape Communications Server 1.x
- CERN httpd Server— http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Daemon
- Microsoft IIS— http://www.microsoft.com/iis
- O'Reilly WebSite— http://website.ora.com
(Note: while we include directions for the CERN server, we specifically recommend against using it. Our experience suggests it is too buggy for practical use with Caucus, and we cannot guarantee support for sites using it.)
- Apache httpd server— http://www.apache.org
Caucus will work with other standards-compliant httpd servers, but the person installing the software must understand in detail how to define CGI files or directories and how to set up access authorization controlled directories.
