Before starting IBM® HTTP Server, there are required z/OS® system configurations that you must set up.
You can start or stop IBM HTTP Server using the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console or using other methods depending on your platform.
To configure the IBM HTTP Server, edit the httpd.conf configuration file.
The fast response cache accelerator (FRCA) can improve the performance of the IBM HTTP Server when serving static content, such as text and image files. Support for FRCA is on AIX® and Windows® systems only.
FastCGI applications use TCP or UNIX® sockets to communicate with the Web server. This scalable architecture enables applications to run on the same platform as the Web server, or on many machines scattered across an enterprise network.
You can remotely administer and configure IBM HTTP Server using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
