You can configure IBM HTTP Server (IHS) for use with the
Management Console instead of the Apache HTTP Server that is installed
by default.
Before you begin
- Due to restrictions in the license server, the Build Forge console
and IBM HTTP Server must be running on the same operating system and
hardware platform.
- You must use the precompiled PHP modules provided. Do not
attempt to use PHP that you compile yourself. Check the release notes
to be sure that modules for your operating system are in fact included.
If they are not, you need to work with support to compile the modules.
- If you have difficulty with this setup, contact IBM support.
- In the examples, the following directories are used as the IBM
HTTP Server installation directories. Substitute your installation
directories if they are different.
- Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\HTTPServer
- Unix and Linux: /opt/IBM/HTTPServer
About this task
This topic describes how to do the following tasks:
- Set up the precompiled PHP files.
- Modify your IBM HTTP Server configuration files to point to the
Build Forge web application.
- If you use a proxy server to access the database, modify PHP to
use the proxy server.
- If you use SSL, configure IHS to work with Build Forge through
SSL.
- Windows systems: replace the libeay32.dll in the IBM HTTP Server
installation directory.
- AIX systems: additional setup
