There are various pre-compiled apache modules available now via the cygwin net distribution. The package directories for those reside under the release/apache tree.
Contributed packages are: apache-php-4.2.0-1 PHP4 web scripting language apache-mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1 HTTP Basic authentication using MySQL apache-mod_auth_ntsec-1.7-1 HTTP Basic authentication using Cygwin's ntsec apache-mod_dav-1.0.3-1.3.6-1 WebDAV support apache-mod_ssl-2.8.8-1.3.24-1 SSL/TLS support The PHP4 module includes build-in support for bzip2, zlib, mysql, postgresql, openssl, gettext, libxml2. BEWARE: Because of various DLL dependencies the PHP4 module needs to rebase some Cygwin DLLs on your system. This is usually performed while the postinstall script runs for PHP4. -- To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. The, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
