Install IBM HTTP Server
This topic describes how to install IBM HTTP Server.
Install the IBM HTTP Server product and its plug-in, or install a plug-in for another supported web server to enable the web server to work with WAS.
To use a web server other than IBM HTTP Server, install and configure the web server before or after installing the WAS product but before installing the Web Server Plug-ins for IBM WAS.
Refer to the information center for IBM HTTP Server for detailed information on installation steps, configuring the web server for SSL, the Fast Response Cache Accelerator, or Apache directives.
What to do next
After installing the web server and the application server, install and configure the appropriate web server plug-in for a supported, installed web server. No further configuration is required for most web servers.The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool configures supported web servers. We can also manually configure supported Web servers for WAS as described in Edit web server configuration files.
The Global Security Kit (GSKit) installation image files for the WebSphere Web server plug-ins are packaged on the CD with the web server plug-in files. To use GSKIT, you can download the appropriate GSKIT file to the workstation on which your web server is running.
