Creating Covalent Apache 2.2 instance from ERS 4.0.2 httpd on Linux

1. Get the download of Apache 2.2 add-on "ers-4.0.2-apache-2.2.15-x86-linux-glibc2-20100326.zip.sfx"
2. Change file mode to make it executable
3. Invoke the file to self-extract the contents:
# ./ers-4.0.2-apache-2.2.15-x86-linux-glibc2-20100326.zip.sfx
The archive unpacks all files into the current directory. When it finishes, you should see the following:
apache2.2 ERS_LICENSE.txt fixrootpath.pl perl5.8 php5.2 servers
apache2.2-64 ers-server.pl licenses perl5.8-64 php5.2-64 tools
4. Invoke the fixrootpath.pl perl script
# perl fixrootpath.pl
5. Customize Apache2.2 httpd
# vi [ers-home_install-dir]/servers/test-apache2.2/conf/httpsd.conf
6. Test the Apache HTTP Server 2.2 installation with the provided servers/test-apache2.2
or servers/test-apache2.2-64 instances. For example, start the test-apache2.2 instance as follows:
# cd servers/test-apache2.2
# bin/apache_startup.sh start ( and to stop: # bin/apache_startup.sh stop )
7. Point browser to http://localhost:8080
Enter username "spring", with password "spring" to authenticate to the ERS httpd instance home page

Create new instance for non-test environments:

5a.Create ERS instance:
# perl ers-server.pl --server=apache2.2 --serverdir=servers/apache2.2 --apachever=2.2
ers-server.pl - install an ERS 4.0 server instance
from the default (_instance/ trees) template
