Configuring IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.x

This topic describes how to change configuration settings for IBM® HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.x.

Before you begin

If you are running IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) on IBM i, you can use the manual configuration steps outlined below with the IBM Web Administration for IBM i.

This topic describes how to configure the IBM HTTP Server. 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 version 2.2 for your operating system. IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.2 is supported on IBM i Versions 6.1 and 7.1.

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 spplication 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 spplication server is on a remote machine.

The web server definition name in the following examples is webserver1.

Procedure

Configure entries in the httpd.conf file.

Use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i GUI to configure the httpd.conf file. See the topic Configuring an HTTP server instance on IBM i for a description of how to use this GUI.

Use the following examples of the LoadModule and the WebSpherePluginConfig directives as models for configuring your file for IBM i:
LoadModule was_ap20_module
   /QSYS.LIB/product_library.LIB/QSVTAP22.SRVPGM
where product_library is the name of the WebSphere® Application Server product library, such as QWAS8A, and QWAS8B. See the topic Directory conventions for information about how to determine the product library name.
Local standalone example:
WebSpherePluginConfig /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/
   ND/profiles/profile1/config/cells/my_cell/nodes/
   webserver1_node/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
Remote example:
WebSpherePluginConfig
   /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/
   ND/profiles/httpprofile1/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

Results

This procedure results in editing and re-configuring IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 2.x.

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.x httpd.conf file, the IBM HTTP Server cannot start. You must comment or delete the directive to start the Version 2.x server.

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

Tip: To unconfigure a web server, reverse the manual steps and remove what was manually added in this procedure.
