Configure IBM HTTP Server v8.5
This article describes how to change configuration settings for IBM HTTP Server.
The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool configures the web server plug-in.
This topic describes how to configure IBM HTTP Server v8.5. Other procedures in Edit web server configuration files describe configuring other supported web servers.
Perform the step that configures IBM HTTP Server for the operating system.
Examples and messages are shown on more than one line for clarity. Place each directive in a web server configuration file on one line.
Local file path means a file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file on an application server that is on the same machine as the web server. Remote file path means the file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file when the application server is on a remote machine.
The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool installs a dummy plugin-cfg.xml file during installation, but this file requires periodic propagation from the real file on the application server machine.
The node_name in the following application server local file paths is web_server_name_node for a standalone application server.

Configure entries in httpd.conf.
Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file:
LoadModule was_ap22_module /usr/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap22_http.so
Example:WebSpherePluginConfig /usr/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml -
Configure entries in httpd.conf.
Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file:
LoadModule was_ap22_module /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap22_http.so
Example:WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml -
Configure entries in httpd.conf.
Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file:
LoadModule was_ap22_module /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap22_http.sl
Example:WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml -
Configure entries in httpd.conf.
Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file:
LoadModule was_ap22_module drive:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\mod_was_ap22_http.dll
Example:WebSpherePluginConfig C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml
Results
This procedure results in editing and re-configuring IBM HTTP Server.
The mod_was_ap22_http plug-in module requires the GSKIT SSL encryption library if the plug-in is configured to support encrypted connections to back-end WASs.
Installing the web server plug-ins installs the GSKIT SSL encryption library at the required level if it is not installed. If you manually copy the plug-in to a new machine, you might not have the required GSKIT libraries for encrypting backend connections.
After configuring a web server, we can install applications on it. See the Applications section of the information center for more information.
To unconfigure a web server, reverse the manual steps and remove what was manually added in this procedure.
