Configuring IBM HTTP Server Version 6.x

This topic describes how to change configuration settings for IBM HTTP Server.

Before you begin

[i5/OS] IBM HTTP Server Version 6.x is not supported on i5/OS. See Configuring IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.0 for configuration details.

When you install the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server on a non-iSeries system, the Plug-ins installation wizard configures the Web server.

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] See Installing Web server plug-ins.

[i5/OS] See Installing Web server plug-ins on i5/OS.

This topic describes how to configure IBM HTTP Server, Version 6.x. Other procedures in Editing Web server configuration files describe configuring other supported Web servers.

About this task

Perform the step that configures IBM HTTP Server for your operating system.

Examples and messages are shown on more than one line for clarity. Place each directive in a Web server configuration file on one line.

Local file path means a file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file on an Application Server that is on the same machine as the Web server. Remote file path means the file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file when the Application Server is on a remote machine. The Plug-ins installation wizard installs a dummy plugin-cfg.xml file during installation, but this file requires periodic propagation from the real file on the Application Server machine.

The node_name in the following Application Server local file paths is web_server_name_node for a stand-alone Application Server or managed_node_name for a managed node.

Procedure

Results

This procedure results in editing and reconfiguring IBM HTTP Server.

What to do next

If the IBM HTTP Server V1.3.x directive, LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module, is present in an IBM HTTP Server Version 6.x and later httpd.conf file, IBM HTTP Server cannot start. You must comment or delete the directive to start the Version 6.x server.

The mod_was_ap20_http plug-in module requires the GSKIT Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption library if the plug-in is configured to support encrypted connections to back-end WebSphere Application Servers.

The Plug-ins installation wizard installs the GSKIT SSL encryption library at the required level if it is not installed. If you manually copy the plug-in to a new machine, you might not have the required GSKIT libraries for encrypting back-end connections.

After configuring a Web server, you can install applications on it. See the Applications section of the information center for more information.
