THIS PAGE IS ONLY A COPY OF VCL 2.1 RIGHT NOW - IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 2.2 YET!!

Table of Contents

...

Please make sure to download VCL from an mirror server. The following link will automatically select one for you that should be close to you. After downloading it make sure you verify it with MD5 or SHA1 sums AND the GPG signature (sums and signature files should be downloaded directly from Apache, not from mirrors).

Download ASF VCL 2.12
GPG Signature
MD5 Sum
SHA1 Sum
VCL KEYS file

Run the following command to verify the MD5 sum. You should get the same number that is in apache-VCL-2.12-incubating.tar.bz2.md5:
md5sum apache-VCL-2.12-incubating.tar.bz2

Similarly, Run the following command to verify the SHA1 sum. You should get the same number that is in apache-VCL-2.12-incubating.tar.bz2.sha1:
sha1sum apache-VCL-2.12-incubating.tar.bz2

To verify the GPG signature (you'll need to have GnuPG installed):

1. download and import the VCL KEYS file:
   gpg --import KEYS
2. download the GPG Signature to the same location as the release file
3. from the directory containing both the release file and the GPG signature, run
   gpg --verify apache-VCL-2.12-incubating.tar.bz2.asc

For new installs, visit the on-line installation guide.

For upgrades from version 2.1, visit the on-line upgrade guide.
