Apache Icons

[Raven]

Does anyone know where I can download a ZIP of the icons used for Apache?

Can you not just download the Apache package and pull them from that? The bandwidth is a bit more but you're sure to get everything you need from it and in whatever version you want. I don't know what the legal requirements are for extracting just the icons and using them without the rest of the package; but if it is for use with Apache, I'd bet just about anything goes since it is an open source project.

Actually I installed a local server using php-triad, but it didn't come with any icons. Not a huge deal... but I'd really like to have them. I wandered around the Apache site for a while but quite frankly I can't find a thing on there. I browsed through the downloads and there are only a few ZIP files which I tried downloading already. I can't find the icons in them. The rest of the downloads are EXE files or some other extension I've never even heard of before.

Try Apache downloads and look for the source:

httpd-2.0.52.tar.gz

This file has almost everything you need. You'll just need an app that can extract gzipped and tarred files. Your web server at Jag can do it if you don't have native gzip or tar available locally. Or you can use any number of archive utilities. WinZip is great and would recommend it since it sounds like you're on Win32. You may have been looking at *.msi files which are Windows-centric formats. *nix doesn't like that.

Since XP can already ZIP/unZIP ZIP files I don't want to install any additional software, but that also means I can't do GZ files. So... can you elaborate on how I'd go about extracting things on the JPC server?

[Spathiphyllum]

Start secure shell session. From Win32 I use WinSCP. You may need to ask Jaguar (via ticket) to enable this for you if you do not have the SSH feature enabled already. Telnetting is not allowed on shared servers.

#go to directory with gzipped tar (tape archive) file
cd /path/to/httpd-2.0.52.tar.gz

#unzip the archive; the gz extension will get stripped
#'man gzip' to see optional switches
gzip -d httpd-2.0.52.tar.gz

#untar the archive; the directory tree will be expanded
#browse through it to view extracted icons/images
#'man tar' to see optional switches
tar -xvf httpd-2.0.52.tar

This will produce an unzipped tar and an untarred directory of the Apache server source. There are many options with either tar or gzip so read the man pages for options that you might want to do instead. Delete the *.tar httpd-2.0.52.tar if you don't need it anymore or gzip it back up to save space. Again, see 'man gzip'.

I'd highly recommend both WinZip and WinSCP. They'll make your life much easier and productive and well worth the investment. Trust me.

Thanks for all the info, I'll get at it and hopefully it will turn out!

[Spathiphyllum]

You're welcome. It will turn out OK. I've done this with numerous permutations many times on Jag's servers and never a hiccup... as long as I don't type the wrong command.

Apache icons are usually available at http://www.yourdomain.com/icons/

Even that example URL works, meaning they run apache server
