Procedure

To configure the IBM HTTP Server, edit the httpd.conf configuration file.

• Locating the default and sample configuration files.

  The httpd.conf configuration file is in the conf directory of our server installation. There is also an httpd.conf.default file, in case we need to use another copy of the original file. WAS provides a sample configuration file called httpd.conf.sample, that illustrates basic IBM module directives and advanced security options.

  

  IBM HTTP Server also provides the following configuration files:

  • admin.conf.default

  • magic.default

  • mime.types.default

• Special considerations...

  • Configuration files that only support single-byte characters (SBCS) are:

  • 

    • httpd.conf (IBM HTTP Server configuration)

    • admin.conf (Administration server configuration)

  • 

    The forward slash character (/) should be used as a path separator in the configuration file, instead of the backward slash character (\).
