This chapter describes a minimal installation of Apache.

Fritz!Box without USB memory

In principle it is possible to get the Apache run on a Fritz!Box without USB memory. However for that configuration I recommend to use a small web server as httpd.

That’s why I skip at this point an Apache configuration.

SQlite2 support

PHP 5.4.x doesn’t support SQlite2. If you need SQlite2, you have to downgrade your PHP into version 5.3.x.

Fritz!Box with USB memory

ATENTION: old PHP version includes a critical bug. Please update the php binary:

For update replace php or php-cgi in folder cgi-bin with the new binary from archive. All downloads was updated!

1. Download Apache 2.4.6:

Note: This versions are not tested jet. Please give me your feedback!

2. Unpack the archive on the USB memory device into the directory “apache”

3. The file conf/apache.conf is used for the configuration. My apache.conf, located in the conf directory has to be adapted first::

the string “Hitachi-HTS543216L9A300-01” (name of MY hard disk) must be replaced by the name of your USB memory device: use a search and replace function for doing that (Ctrl+H in Notepad++ or Ctrl+R in Kate)
NOTE: Find the name of your USB memory device:

# ls /var/media/ftp/
Hitachi-HTS543216L9A300-01

1 2	# ls /var/media/ftp/ Hitachi-HTS543216L9A300-01

IMPORTANT NOTE! Since firmware xx.xx.86 there is no more user “ftpuser”! It was renamed to “boxusr80” (verified only on Fritz!Box 7270v2). Therefore you must adapt apache.conf :

User boxusr80

1	User boxusr80

The new user name you can locate in /etc/passwd:

cat /etc/passwd

1	cat /etc/passwd

4. You can start Apache now: look at the code below. There should be no errors coming up. Using “ps” one should verify if Apache is really running:

# ps | grep apache
