About this task
The following information describes how you can determine the IBM HTTP
Server version and provides examples. The server versions that are provided
in the output below are not necessarily the versions that are distributed
with WebSphere
® Application
Server.
Important: You can also determine the IBM HTTP
Server version using the versionInfo command.
Results
The version is shown in the "Server version" field
and will look something like the following:
IBM_HTTP_Server/7.0.0.0 (Windows®)
Server built: Jul 31 2008 08:41:58
or
Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/7.0.0.0 (Unix)
Server built: Jul 31 2008 08:41:58
This Web
server is not a part of WebSphere Application Server, but is distributed
with i5/OS
®.
The version depends on the i/5OS release. The version is shown in the "Server
version" field and will look something like the following:
V5R4:
Server version: Apache/2.0.58
Server built: Jul 14 2006 11:26:06
V6R1 and later:
Server version: Apache/2.2.6 (i5)
Server built: Mar 11 2008 14:03:07
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/7.0.0.0 (Unix)
Server built: Aug 14 2008 12:16:41
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.
