Edit Web server configuration files to configure a Web server.
The Plug-ins installation wizard automatically
configures supported Web servers during the installation of the binary
plug-in modules. Use this topic to understand how the wizard configures
the Web server configuration files.
If you
must change a configuration for some reason, you can run the Plug-ins
installation wizard again to reconfigure the Web server, or you can
edit the files. The recommended approach is to always use the Plug-ins
installation wizard to configure the Web server configuration file.
However, sometimes you must edit the files. An example is when you
are installing a Web server definition for a non-default profile.
To support a non-default 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 iSeries to configure i5/OS Web servers to communicate with a WebSphere
Application Server. Doing so automatically updates the Web server
configuration files as needed. See Creating and configuring an HTTP server instance for more information.

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.

You can use the Plug-ins installation wizard
to automatically configure supported Web servers. You can also configure
a Web servers by editing its configuration.
