Set IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.x
When you install the IHS Web server plug-ins for WAS on a non-iSeries system, the Plug-ins installation wizard configures the Web server.
In addition to *nix and Windows systems, IHS powered by Apache 2.0 is supported on...
- i5/OS V5R4
- IBM i V6R1 (plug-ins are included with the 5761-DG1 product)
The Plug-ins installation wizard installs a dummy plugin-cfg.xml during installation. This file requires periodic propagation from the real file on the appserver machine.
- [AIX] httpd.conf...

What to do next
If the IHS 1.3.2x directive...
LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module
...is present in an IHS 2.x httpd.conf file, IHS cannot start. Comment or delete the directive.
The module mod_was_ap20_http requires the GSKIT SSL encryption library if the plug-in is configured to support encrypted connections to back-end appservers. The Plug-ins installation wizard installs the GSKIT SSL encryption library at the required level if it is not installed. If the plug-in is copied to a new machine, the required GSKIT libraries might be missing.
After configuring a Web server, we can install applications on it.
