Managing backup files for HTTP Server

 

In the IBM HTTP Server for i5/OS, there are several files that should be backup up for later recovery.

Information for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for iSeries . IBM recommends that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are not available prior to this update. See IBM Service for more information.

Make sure that the following objects are included in your periodic backup activity:

Instance files

• QUSRSYS/QATMHINSTA

• QUSRSYS/QATMHINSTC

Configuration files

HTTP Server (powered by Apache)

Save the conf file located in the /www/[server_name]/conf/ directory, where Server_Name is the name of your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) instance.

This describes the default location of the configuration file. If your configuration files are located in another directory, save the configuration file in your location.

ASF Tomcat

The ASF Tomcat files are located in the /www/[server_name]/conf/ directory. For each Web application there is a configuration file (web.xml) in the same directory that the Web application is located under the /www/[server_name]/webapps/ directory.

Additional files to save

• Signed certificates and certificate requests

• Group files

• Access control lists

• Validation lists

• Web content

  Example: HTML, graphics, media objects, Java™, CGI programs, Net.Data^® scripts
