Manually configuring IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0

This topic describes how to change configuration settings for IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0.

This topic is one of the optional procedures in Manually configuring supported Web servers.

Perform the optional step that configures the IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0 that you intend to use, on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows platform.

Examples and messages are sometimes shown on more than one line for ease of presentation. Each directive in a Web server configuration file should be on one line.

1. (Optional)   Configure entries in the httpd.conf file for IBM HTTP Server 2.0 on an HP-UX platform.

   Use the following examples of the LoadModule and WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file

   LoadModule 
        was_ap20_module /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/mod_was_ap20_http.sl
   WebSpherePluginConfig 
        /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml"
   

   The installation root, /opt/WebSphere/AppServer, can vary per operating system platform. For example, the AIX installation root is /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/ for Version 5.

2. (Optional)   Configure entries in the httpd.conf file for IBM HTTP Server 2.0 on a Linux or UNIX-based platform other than HP-UX.

   Use the following examples of the LoadModule and WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file

   LoadModule 
        was_ap20_module /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/mod_was_ap20_http.so
   WebSpherePluginConfig 
        /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml"
   

   The installation root, /opt/WebSphere/AppServer, can vary per operating system platform. For example, the AIX installation root is /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/ for Version 5.

3. (Optional)   Configure entries in the httpd.conf file for IBM HTTP Server 2.0 on a Windows platform.

   Use the following examples of the LoadModule and WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file

   LoadModule was_ap20_module 
        drive:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\mod_was_ap20_http.dll
   WebSpherePluginConfig 
        drive:\WebSphere\AppServer\config\cells\plugin-cfg.xml
   
   

You can configure the IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0 to work with WAS, Version 5.x.

If the IBM HTTP Server 1.3.2x directive, LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module, is present in an IBM HTTP Server 2.0 httpd.conf file, the IBM HTTP Server cannot start. You must comment or delete the directive to start the Version 2 server.

The mod_was_ap20_http plug-in module requires the GSKIT SSL encryption library if the plug-in is to be configured to support encrypted connections to back-end WASs. If you install the plug-in for Apache 2.0 from the WAS installation media (the preferred method), the installation program installs GSKIT along with the plug-in. If you manually copy the plug-in to a new machine, you might not have the required GSKIT libraries for encrypting back-end connections.
