mod_app_server_http.sl uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
After a new install of IBM® WebSphere® Application Sever, where the webserver plug-in was installed, a subsequent start of the webserver causes the following warning message to be displayed:

[warn] Loaded DSO /.../bin/mod_app_server_http.sl uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)
 
Cause
If your Web server was compiled and configured to require EAPI (Extended Application Program Interface), you need to have the Web server use a different module.
 
Solution
You can resolve this problem by changing the module reference as discussed below.
  1. The message should display the fully qualified path to the module being referenced by the Web server. This will be something like:

    install_root/bin/mod_app_server_http.sl

  2. Look in this same directory for a module named something like:

    install_root/bin/mod_app_server_http_eapi.so

  3. Update the Web server configuration to use this module instead.

    For example, the Apache, and IBM® HTTP Servers make use of a configuration file called httpd.conf. In this file, near the bottom, you will find a directive that exists on a single line, and looks like:

    LoadModule app_server_http_module install_root/bin/mod_app_server_http.sl

  4. Change it to reference the EAPI shared library:

    LoadModule app_server_http_module install_root/bin/mod_app_server_http_eapi.so

  5. After making the change, stop and restart your Web server.

Warning:
If you do not specify a valid shared library, then the Web server will be unable to start. For example: if you incorrectly specify the fully qualified filename.
