Checking your IBM HTTP Server version

At times, you might need to determine the version of your IBM HTTP Server installation.

About this task

The following information describes how you can determine the IBM HTTP Server version and provides examples.
Note: You can also determine the IBM HTTP Server version using the versionInfo command.

Procedure

  1. Change the directory to the installation root of the Web server. For example, this is /opt/IBM/HTTPServer on a Solaris machine.
  2. Find the subdirectory that contains the executable. The executable for IBM HTTP Server is:
    • [Windows] apache.exe
    • [Linux] httpd
    • [AIX] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [z/OS] apachectl
    • [i5/OS] APACHEDFT
  3. Issue the command.
    [Windows]
    apache.exe -V
    [Linux]
    ./httpd -v 
    [AIX] [HP-UX] [Solaris]
    ./apachectl -v 
    [i5/OS] Run the STRTCPSVR command with the -V option.
    STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(APACHEDFT '-V')
    [z/OS] Use a JCL procedure or issue a command from the OMVS command line to start the Web server as a started task, and a banner containing the version information will display.
    • After starting IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server on z/OS, powered by Apache, you can issue a command from the OMVS command line with the -v option to display the version information.
      apachectl -v

Results

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] The version is shown in the "Server version" field and will look something like the following:
Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/2.0.47 Apache/2.0.47 
Server built: November 26 2005 20:38:36 
Server's Module Magic Number: 20020903:4.
In this example an IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0.47 is installed.
[i5/OS] The version is shown in the "Server version" field and will look something like the following:
Server version: Apache/2.0.47 Server built:   Nov 26 2005 15:57:01
In this example an IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0.47 is installed.
[z/OS] If you use a JCL procedure to start the Web server, the banner containing the version information, similar to the following banner, will appear in the Job Log. If you issued a command from the OMVS command line, this banner will follow the command on the OMVS screen.
  • For IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server on z/OS:
    Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1-rc2 Apache/2.0.47
    Server built:   Dec  6 2005 17:33:30
    Syntax OK
    In this example an IBM HTTP Server for z/OS powered by Apache 2.0.47 is installed.
  • For HTTP Server for z/OS, which is a non-Apache server:
    ............ This is IBM HTTP Server V5R3M0  
    ............ Built on Nov 26 2005 at 12:08:21.  
    ............ Started at Mon Mar 28 18:32:33 2005 
    ............ Running as "WEBSRV", UID:0, GID:205
    
    In this example the version of HTTP Server for z/OS is v5.3.0.
If you need to contact IBM Support about a problem with your Web server for z/OS, use this banner to determine the "built" date for your z/OS Web server and include this information in your problem report.
