FAQs

Q - After installing Apache I got the welcome page with the message deployment descriptor not found

A - There are several reasons for this.

• - Has not set the correct path to AXIS_HOME in the environment variable.

    For eg:-AXIS_HOME - C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\Axis for Apache 1.3.x 

• - Has not placed Axiscpp.conf in the correct location.

    For eg: - Axis/axiscpp.conf 

• - Server.wsdd is not in the correct location.

{{{ For eg:-[APACHE_HOME]\Axis\conf\server.wsdd

• Or server.wsdd contains syntax errors. }}}

Q - Apache doesn't run.Why is that?

A - There are several reasons for this.

• - Environment variables are not set correctly.
• - Path to the DLLs are not given in the PATH variable. Or the given path is incorrect.

Q - As I know Axis 1.1 is dependent upon Xerces and ApacheCore projects.I need to know all dependent projects of Axis1.1 Where can I find the source code of them?

A - It's not that Axis C++ is dependant on Xerces, expat or Apache.But you can decide the setup you want to use with Axis C++.The binary distribution of Axis 1.1 contains a common AxisServer.dll that you can use

1. with Apache 1.3.xx server (as server side http transport provider) using the provided apache module mod_axis.dll
2. With Apache 2.xx.xx server(as server side http transport provider) using provided apache module mod_axis2.dll

3. With provided SimpleAxisServer standalone http server.

The binary distribution is compiled to be used with expat as its XML parser. But with the source code you can compile Axis C++ to use with xerces parser.

To get the required external header files / libraries / dlls(or so) you can download those distributions (expat or xerces,apache)

Expat - http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ Optionally, Xerces - http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/    and the Apache web server (www.apache.org). Though this is not required to compile core Axis libs.
