Overview

This topic describes how to change configuration settings for IBM HTTP Server.

When you install the Web server plug-ins for WAS on a non-iSeries system, the Plug-ins installation wizard configures the Web server.

Perform the step that configures IBM HTTP Server for your 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 Plug-ins installation wizard 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 stand-alone Application Server or...

managed_node_name

...for a managed node.

 

AIX

Configure entries in the httpd.conf file.

Use the following examples as models for configuring your file...

LoadModule was_ap20_module /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap20_http.so

Local distributed example:

WebSpherePluginConfig profile_root/config/cells/dmgrcell/nodes/managednode/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Example:

WebSpherePluginConfig /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

 

Linux and Solaris

Configure entries in the httpd.conf file. Use the following examples as models for configuring your file...

LoadModule was_ap20_module /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap20_http.so

Local distributed example...

WebSpherePluginConfig profile_root/config/cells/dmgrcell/nodes/managednode/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Example...

WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

 

HP-UX

Configure entries in the httpd.conf file. Use the following examples models for configuring your file...

LoadModule was_ap20_module /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/bin/mod_was_ap20_http.sl

Local distributed example...

WebSpherePluginConfig profile_root/config/cells/dmgrcell/nodes/managednode/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Example...

WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

 

Windows

Configure entries in the httpd.conf file. Use the following examples models for configuring your file...

LoadModule was_ap20_module drive:\IBM\HTTPServer\Plugins\bin\mod_was_ap20_http.dll

Local distributed example...

WebSpherePluginConfig profile_root\config\cells\dmgrcell\nodes\managednode\servers\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml

Example...

WebSpherePluginConfig C:\IBM\HTTPServer\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml

 

Results

This procedure results in editing and reconfiguring IBM HTTP Server.

 

What to do next

If the IBM HTTP Server V1.3.x directive...

LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module

...is present in an IBM HTTP Server V6.x and later httpd.conf file, IBM HTTP Server cannot start. You must comment or delete the directive to start the V6.x server.

The plug-in module...

mod_was_ap20_http

...requires the GSKIT SSL encryption library if the plug-in is configured to support encrypted connections to back-end WAS servers.

The Plug-ins installation wizard 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 back-end connections.
