Editing Web server configuration files

Edit Web server configuration files to configure a Web server.

Before you begin

Use the IBM® Web Administration for IBM i to configure IBM i Web servers to communicate with a WebSphere® Application Server. Doing so automatically updates the Web server configuration files as needed. See the topic about creating and configuring an HTTP server instance for more information.

If you must change a configuration for some reason, you can use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i to reconfigure the Web server, or you can edit the files. The recommended approach is to always use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i to configure the Web server configuration file. However, sometimes you must edit the files.

[sep2010] You must determine whether your web server application uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. If your machine supports a 64-bit architecture, you can use either a 32-bit or a 64-bit web server application. The following examples show how to determine which the architecture for your web server application:
  • For Apache-based web servers, including IBM HTTP Server, you can determine the architecture using the following techniques:
  • For other, non-Apache based web servers, use the following techniques. These techniques also work for Apache-based web servers.

[sep2010] If the web server application uses a 64-bit architecture, the plug-in library should be loaded from the plugin_root/bin/64bit directory. If the web server application uses a 32-bit architecture, the plug-in library should be loaded from the plugin_root/bin/32bits directory. If the plugin_root/bin/64bits directory does not exist, you must use the 32-bit architecture. [sep2010]
