Title: Setup Testing
Post by: bryont on February 03, 2016, 01:41:32 AM
Hello,
I am working on setting up and testing Apache 2.4.18 on 64 bit Nano server.  Are there any test scripts that have already been created that can be used to check the installation Apache on the Nano the server?

Thanks

The nano server is fairly new.
Once you have opened the port 80 in the firewall you can check it in your browser.

it would be nice if you can share how you installed in apache on the Nano server. I didn't find a download link for it yet. I just saw the it on http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsserver/archive/2015/04/08/microsoft-announces-nano-server-for-modern-apps-and-cloud.aspx but nothing further.

I did open up the ports and tested the hello web page from a web browser.   However I was looking for tests developers of Apache may already have created for further testing of Apache running on Nano Server to make sure Nano Server is running Apache correctly.

For installation:

(Nano Server Setup)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt126167.aspx
You need to add Reverse Forwarders and Guest drivers.

Once the Nano Server is setup you use power shell remote sessions.
Apache was just copied over and unzipped on the nano Server.

You also need the Visual C redistributable file installed as well.  (vcredist_x64.exe)
The installer does not work on Nano Server.  I used Appv sequencer to gather the Dll it installed then copied these into the
c:\windows\system32 directory on the Nano Server.

I opened up the ports on the Nano Server I was able to connect a web browser the test page.
