Installing IBM HTTP Server

This topic describes how to install IBM® HTTP Server.

Before you begin

IBM HTTP Server on distributed platforms. Install the IBM HTTP Server product and its plug-in, or install a plug-in for another supported Web server to enable the Web server to work with WebSphere® Application Server.

To use a Web server other than IBM HTTP Server, install and configure the Web server before or after installing the WebSphere Application Server product, but before installing the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server.

About this task

Refer to the Information center for IBM HTTP Server for detailed information on installation steps, configuring the Web server for SSL, the Fast Response Cache Accelerator, or Apache directives.

What to do next

After installing the Web server and the Application Server, install the appropriate Web server plug-in for a supported, installed Web server. No further configuration is required for most Web servers.

The Plug-ins installation wizard configures supported Web servers. You can also manually configure supported Web servers for WebSphere Application Server as described in Editing Web server configuration files.

The Global Security Kit (GSKit) installation image files for the WebSphere Web server plug-ins are packaged on the CD with the Web server plug-in files. If you want to use GSKIT, you can download the appropriate GSKIT file to the workstation on which your Web server is running.

[Solaris] Avoid trouble: If you encounter a problem while installing the GSKIT file in a Solaris 10 local zone, see the Considerations for installing GSKit with IBM HTTP Server V6.0 and V6.1 and WebSphere Application Server plugin V6.0 and V6.1 in Solaris Zones technote for a possible solution to your problem.gotcha
