There are restrictions that you must consider when building dynamic modules for Unix platforms.

The following restrictions apply when building a module to run with IBM HTTP Server:

  • Modules and libraries added to IBM HTTP Server must match the webservers architecture.

  • For IBM HTTP Server 7.0 and earlier, IBM HTTP Server is a 64-bit application on HP-UX/ia64 and Solaris/x64. IBM HTTP Server is a 32-bit application on other platforms, regardless of which WebSphere Application Server supplement CD it was installed from.

  • IBM HTTP Server 8.0 adds the ability to choose at installation time between 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on Linux (all architectures), AIX, and Solaris/SPARC.
