                                 NeoWebScript
			     Version 3.1 (and up)

The Latest Version
------------------

Details of the latest version can be found on the NeoWebScript HTTP
server page at http://www.neowebscript.com/.

Installation
------------

To build and install a new version, execute the following commands in order:
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
	make
	make install

This will build the Apache-1.3.6 webserver, Tcl8.1.1-lite (enough Tcl to run
the NeoWebScript extensions), the NeoWebScript modules, and installs
everything into /usr/local/apache/.  This directory must exist and you
must have write access to it (or you must have write access to /usr/local).


The best way to do this is:
    % su
    # mkdir /usr/local/apache
    # chown (you) /usr/local/apache
    # exit
    % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
    % make
    % make install

    Once the server is installed, the NeoWebScript install will modify the
httpd.conf to add the NeoWebScript directives to the server.  These will be
appened to the bottom of the file.  By default, the directives are all
commented out.  In order to enable your NeoWebScript server for handling
NeoWebScript code, you need to uncomment the two directives that read:

    #AddType text/html .nhtml .nws
    #AddHandler neo-server-parsed .nhtml .nws

Upgrades
--------
If you are upgrading from a previous release of NeoWebScript (2.3 or lower),
see the README.db185 for information on converting your existing database files.

Building TK
-----------
By default, NeoWebScript comes with the necesary files to build the TK
Toolkit extension to TCL.  Also by default, these are not built when the
webserver is built as they are not needed for the server.  You can build TK
with the server by specifying the --with-tk option to the configure script.
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-tk
