Verify the Web server configuration file

During instance creation, the Web server configuration file, httpd.conf, is placed in WC_Install_Dir/instances/Instance_Name/httpconf. To verify it, open the file using a text editor (for example, vi).

Then verify the locations of the document root directory, the process ID and log files, the SSL key files, and the IBM HTTP Server Plug-in files. The relevant lines are shown in Example 10-3 (indentation indicates that the line should be on one line with the previous line).
