Core Components
Although grate care has been taken to include most commonly used modules with the main distribution of 5.0-Nano. Occasions will arrise when you need a module that's not. This section provides information for the core components used in 5.0-Nano I would recommend you download these and save to individual folders for later use thus allowing you to import any modules you require.
Apache
Visit Apache HTTP Server Project for latest information.
Apache is not distributed in a simple archive format in order to obtain the binaries you have two options either install the downloaded package and pick-up the binaries or run msiexec to extract the binaries.
Uniform Server 5.0-Nano uses the following Windows binaries:
Win32 Binary including OpenSSL 0.9.8k (MSI Installer): apache_2.2.13-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8k.msi
Download the above file from: Apache download page
Note: A useful link to Apache archive site for Win32 binaries
Run msiexec
First create a batch file named extract_msi.bat in the folder you saved the download to and add this line:
msiexec /a apache_2.2.13-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8k.msi
Save the file and double click to run. It appears as if you are installing the program however it just extracts the files. Save to a folder of your choice, in this folder you will find the Apache files these are several folders down.
Note: If the above fails use the following method:
Install
If you do not have msiexec install and extract the binaries as follows:
The process is easy, install, copy the installed folder to another location and finally uninstall.
