Upgrading from IBM HTTP Server V1.3 The
main task of upgrading from IBM HTTP Server V1.3 is obtaining versions of
third-party modules which are compatible with IBM HTTP Server V6 or Apache
HTTP Server V2.0.
Configuration changes will be required as well. These
are described in the section "Run-time configuration changes" at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/httpserv/manual60/upgrading.html.
IBM HTTP Server modules retain the same configuration directives
from IBM HTTP Server V1.3 to IBM HTTP Server V6.0, with the exception of Fast
Response Cache Accelerator (FRCA). Using the Port directive to define
the port number FRCA will listen on is replaced by the AfpaPort directive.
The
following features in IBM HTTP Server V1.3 are not available in IBM HTTP Server
V6.0:
- Disk caching proxy
- Digest authentication
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent
- Windows performance monitor
The new htdbm command is the preferred way to manipulate
user ID databases when using mod_auth_dbm. The htdbm and mod_auth_dbm modules
are consistent in the set of supported database formats. By default, the dbmmanage command
may use a database format which is not supported by mod_auth_dbm.
