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 started.
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.
