6.6.45.0.1: Modifications to Web server configuration files during product installation

Based on the plug-ins selected, the following modifications are made to the Web server configuration files during the installation process. For the exact Web server brands, products, and versions supported by your version and edition of WebSphere Application Server, see the product prerequisites Web site.

The purpose of this article is to help you identify the additions in the event that you need to restore the configuration file to its original form, and do not have a backup copy. Refer also to the updated configuration file itself, as it could contain slightly different and more current modifications as this documentation ages and product fix packs are released.

In the actual configuration file, paths shown in the example below, such as:

C:/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/mod_app_server_http.dll
should reflect the product_installation_root for your particular installation and operating system. The default Windows installation root is used in the example.

If installing on a UNIX-based system and you find that few of the modifications were made to the Web server configuration file, try logging on directly as root to perform the installation. Installation problems of this nature have been reported when using su from another account, rather than the root account.
