Migrating from previous versions of IBM HTTP Server

This section provides information about upgrading from a previous version of IBM® HTTP Server.

About this task

IBM HTTP Server can coexist with earlier versions if you install the recent version into a different directory. You can also upgrade earlier versions of IBM HTTP Server by installing the recent version into the directory where an the earlier version of IBM HTTP Server is located. Using the same installation path on the same system for the new IBM HTTP Server version preserves the validity of the WebSphere® Application Server web server definition, but with a minor exception for a Windows server where the service name must be modified in the server definition to the service name used for the new version.

If you migrate from an IBM HTTP Server earlier than a previous major release, read the product documentation for the interim IBM HTTP Server version(s) and review the migration information. You may need to complete additional steps.
