A/UX Web Servers?

Any A/UX Web Servers out there? Can you even get Apache going?

I might consider setting one up and letting it loose on my home DSL connection. I have a Q950 decked out with 128 MB RAM.

AFAIK, www.wiskit.com and www.se30.it are the only public A/UX web servers. If you choose to make your own server publicly accessible, make sure you take all the security precautions mentioned in the FAQ.

There is a binary of Apache 1.3.34 available, along with (IIRC) instructions on compiling it yourself if you should want to. I keep thinking that someday I'll get around to trying to build Apache 2, but don't hold your breath.

Just on a security note, you'd be better off writing a simple webserver in perl than you would be putting that old of an apache build on a machine running A/UX. Does every outside-accessible daemon on that have a vulnerability by now?

All this talk of Apache, has anyone tried to compile Lighttpd to A/UX?
If I ever get my A/UX box running again, I intend to try building lots and lots of software. Why? Just for giggles. :)
