Apache Traffic Server
Traffic Server is a high-performance building block for cloud services.
It's more than just a caching proxy server; it also has support for
plugins to build large scale web applications.

3. Building from distribution
You can download the latest source code from the official Apache Traffic
Server site:
http://trafficserver.apache.org/downloads.html
(or via the URL shortener: http://s.apache.org/uG). Once downloaded,
follow the instructions:
tar xf trafficserver-2.1.8-unstable.tar.bz2
cd trafficserver-2.1.8-unstable
./configure # configure the build environment to create Makfiles
make # execute the compile
This will build with a destination prefix of /usr/local. You can finish
the installation with
sudo make install
4. BUILDING FROM SVN REPO
mkdir -p ~/dev # make yourself a development dir
cd ~/dev # enter your development dir
svn checkout ... # get the source code from ASF Subversion repo
cd traffic # enter the checkout dir
autoreconf -i # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure # configure the build environment to create Makfiles
make # execute the compile
4b. Instructions for building on EC2
NOTE: Alternately you may use the scripts under 'contrib' which will
automate the install for trafficserver under EC2 which is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See 'README-EC2' for further details.
# As root do the following when using Ubuntu
mkdir -p /mnt #EC2 Storage Mount, where storage is located
cd /mnt
svn checkout ... # get the source code from ASF Subversion repo
cd traffic # enter the checkout dir
autoreconf -i --force # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure
make
# As root do the following when using Fedora Core 8 kernel
mkdir -p /mnt #EC2 Storage Mount, where storage is located
cd /mnt
svn checkout ... # get the source code from ASF Subversion repo
cd traffic # enter the checkout dir
autoreconf -i --force # generate the configure script and Makefile.in files
./configure --disable-eventfd
make
5. INSTALLATION
DEFAULT DIR CONTENTS
