| Mini Servers: Compact but fully functional. |
This support page allows you to download the mini servers and provides detailed information on how to obtain a full set of binaries to expand the mini servers functionality.
Core Components
The mini server core components were extract from the following main packages. I would recommend you download these and save to individual folders for later use.
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 need to install the downloaded package. The process is easy install, copy the installed folder to another location and finally uninstall.
The mini servers use the following Windows binaries:
Win32 Binary including OpenSSL 0.9.8h (MSI Installer): apache_2.2.9-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8h-r2.msi
Download the above file from: Downloading the Apache HTTP Server page
Install package
- Download: apache_2.2.9-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8h-r2.msi save to any folder.
- Double click to run the installation program.
- Tick the I accept box click NEXT
- Read the read me material click NEXT
- A form is displayed enter some dummy information as follows:
- Network Domain: fred.com
- Server name: www.fred.com
- Admin email: fred@someone.com
- Click All users radio button
- Click Next
- Click Typical radio button
Click Next - Folder path accept default: c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\
Click Next - Review changes click Install
- Wait for Install finish
- Stop services using icon in system tray (bottom right)
- Save main folder Apache 2.2 (created in default path 7) to another folder (Apache229_ref).
- Open add remove programs and delete Apache.
Of importance you now have access to all Apache's modules allowing you to select the ones you need.
PHP
Download site php.net
We are not interested in installing PHP on our PC hence download a zip package:
Windows Binaries section
- PHP 5.2.6 zip package [9,516Kb] - 3 May 2008
- md5: c7e5010114f58282858d7d78e6509cdc
After downloading unzip to any folder, locate files php5apache2_2.dll, php5ts.dll and php.ini-recommended copy to mini server folder *\uc_server_2a\udrive\usr\local\php
Rename the file php.ini-recommended to php.ini
PERL
Download site Activestate download page.
We are not interested in installing Perl on our PC hence download a zip package
- Mini servers use this version ActivePerl-5.10.0.1003-MSWin32-x86-285500.zip 14-May-2008 08:30 17M
- After downloading unzip to any folder, locate the files perl.exe and perl510.dll copy them to the mini server folder *\uc_server_3a\udrive\usr\bin
- Create a new folder *\uc_server_3a\udrive\usr\lib and add libraries as required. (I have included a small number of library elements in the support files)
UC Server 1a
A very basic portable production server for serving web pages (htm and html). Includes a basic web site. Redesigned to allow multiple servers running on same PC, these require a separate virtual drive.

The file is a self-extracting archive; double click to run, no need to change the path.
UC Server 1b
As above but no longer portable runs as a service. Remains a production server for serving web pages (htm and html). Includes a basic web site.
Download: uc_server_1b.exe save to drive C top level.
MD5: f489a76c571b26c2793c9bfa4a12b3f8
