Configuring Apache HTTP Server V2.0

This topic describes how to change configuration settings for Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0.

Before you begin

Avoid trouble: If you are running IBM® HTTP Server (powered by Apache) on IBM i, you can use the manual configuration steps outlined below. However, it is recommended that you use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i GUI. gotcha

Apache HTTP Server v2.0 is different from IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache). Apache HTTP Server is not supported on IBM i. For details on configuring IBM HTTP Server (Powered by Apache), see Configuring IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.x.

This topic describes how to configure the Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0 Web server. Other procedures in Editing Web server configuration files describe configuring other supported Web servers.

About this task

Perform the step that configures Apache 2.0 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 name of the Web server definition in the following steps is webserver1.

Procedure

Configure entries in thehttpd.conf file. It is recommended that you use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i GUI to configure the httpd.conf file.
[may2010] Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file for i5/OS V5R4:
LoadModule was_ap20_module
   /QSYS.LIB/product_library.LIB/QSVTAP20.SRVPGM
where product_library is the name of the WebSphere Application Server product library, such as QWAS61A, and QWAS61B. See the topic Directory conventions for information about how to determine the product library name. [may2010]

Local distributed example (Network Deployment only - the Web server is configured in a managed node: [may2010]
WebSpherePluginConfig /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/
   ND/profiles/profile1/config/cells/my_cell/nodes/
   my_managednode/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
[may2010]
may2010
Local stand-alone example: [may2010]
WebSpherePluginConfig /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/
   ND/profiles/profile1/config/cells/my_cell/nodes/
   webserver1_node/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
[may2010]
may2010
Remote example:
WebSpherePluginConfig /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/
   ND/profiles/httpprofile1/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Results

This procedure results in reconfiguring the Apache 2.0 Web server.

What to do next

If the IBM HTTP Server 1.3.2x directive, LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module, is present in an IBM HTTP Server 2.0 httpd.conf file, the IBM HTTP Server cannot start. You must comment or delete the directive to start the Version 2 server.

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