   • Download the data packages manually.

   • Copy the data packages to the following directory: /usr/downloads.

2. Create the directory "/usr/downloads":
   cd /usr
mkdir downloads
cd downloads

3. To download all required packages, execute the following commands:

   Note: Run the following lines as a command:
   wget http://mirror.netcologne.de/apache.org//httpd/httpd-2.4.33.tar.gz wget http://mirror.23media.de/apache//apr/apr-1.6.3.tar.gz wget http://mirror.23media.de/apache//apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz

tar zxf httpd-2.4.33.tar.gz
tar zxf apr-1.6.3.tar.gz
tar zxf apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz
tar zxf pcre-8.42.tar.gz

To store the packages in the appropriate folders and to name them correctly, run the following commands in directory "/usr/downloads/":

mkdir --parents /usr/local
mv httpd-2.4.33 apache2
mv apache2 /usr/local/
mv apr-1.6.3 apr
mv apr /usr/local/apache2/srclib/
mv apr-util-1.6.1 apr-util
mv apr-util /usr/local/apache2/srclib/
mv pcre-8.42 pcre
mv pcre /usr/local/

1. Download and install "opkg".
   opkg install make

2. Compile and install "pcre".
   Run the following commands in directory "/usr/local/pcre/":
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre
make
make install

1. Execute the following command:
   cd /usr/local/apache2/srclib/apr/

2. Create a copy of the original file before you begin editing.
