To configure the IBM HTTP Server, edit the httpd.conf configuration
file.
Procedure
- Locating the default and sample configuration files.
The httpd.conf configuration file is in the conf directory
of your server installation. There is also an httpd.conf.default file,
in case you need to use another copy of the original file. The product provides
a sample configuration file called httpd.conf.sample, that illustrates
basic IBM module directives and advanced security options.
IBM HTTP
Server also provides the following configuration files:
- admin.conf.default
- magic.default
- mime.types.default
- Special considerations for IBM HTTP Server. The
following items regarding the configuration file should be known when using
IBM HTTP Server:
- Configuration files that only support single-byte characters (SBCS) are:
- httpd.conf (IBM HTTP Server configuration file)
- admin.conf (Administration server configuration
file)
The forward slash character (/) should be used as a
path separator in the configuration file, instead of the backward slash character
(\).
