Edit web server configuration files to configure a Web server.
The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool
configures supported web servers. Use this topic to understand how
the tool configures the web server configuration files.
If you must change a configuration for some reason,
you can run the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool again to re-configure
the web server or you can edit the files.
To support a nondefault profile, edit
the configuration to point the web server to the correct location
of the plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml).
In this case, you would change the profile path from the default profile
to the secondary profile.
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
re-configure 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.
apachectl -V | grep Architecture
This command displays the Architecture value for the web server, which will be either 32-bit or 64-bit.
apache -V
Look for the value of the Architecture: line in the output. This value is either 32-bit or 64-bit.
file /usr/bin/httpd
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.
