You can install the IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application
Server product on z/OS systems. Order the Version 6.1 PTF for WebSphere
Application Server that contains the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS to get

Before you can successfully install IBM HTTP Server, ensure that
your environment meets the prerequisites for the application server.
For more information, see the Preparing the base operating system
topic.
IBM HTTP Server for z/OS is powered by Apache and provided with
WebSphere Application Server. It supports 64-bit architecture and
IPv6.
Note: IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, which is provided with WebSphere
Application Server, is different from the Version 5.3 HTTP
Server for z/OS, which is provided with the z/OS base operating
system and is not powered by Apache. The information contained
within the IBM HTTP Server product documentation pertains to IBM HTTP
Server for WebSphere Application Server, not the Version 5.3 HTTP
Server.
Install IBM HTTP Server using SMP/E and then run an install script
to create a configuration in the install directory:
- The product code for the IBM HTTP Server Version 6.1 is installed
into the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Optional Materials
tree. The default location is: /usr/lpp/zWebSphere_OM/V6R1/HTTP/Server.
- After you install the product code, choose an installation directory
for each IBM HTTP Server instance that you want to run under z/OS.
Each server instance requires its own installation directory.
- You can use an install script provided with IBM HTTP Server to:
Copy files into this directory, perform initial customization, and
create symbolic links to the product code directory.
You can use the Web server jobname or other identifier in the installation
directory name. For example:
/opt/wwww/webserver1
/var/webservers/AAST1
In the instruction examples in the following topic for installing
IBM HTTP Server, an installation directory of /etc/websrv1 is
used.
