Configuring IBM HTTP Server Version 8.5

This article describes how to change configuration settings for IBM HTTP Server.

Before you begin

[IBM i] IBM HTTP Server Version 8.5 is not supported on IBM® i.

This topic describes how to configure IBM HTTP Server Version 8.5. Other procedures in Editing web server configuration files describe configuring other supported web servers.

About this task

Perform the step that configures IBM HTTP Server for your operating system.

Examples and messages are shown on more than one line for clarity. Place each directive in a web server configuration file on one line.

Local file path means a file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file on an application server that is on the same machine as the web server. Remote file path means the file path to the plugin-cfg.xml file when the application server is on a remote machine.

The node_name in the following application server local file paths is web_server_name_node for a standalone application server.

Procedure

Results

This procedure results in editing and re-configuring IBM HTTP Server.

What to do next

The mod_was_ap22_http plug-in module requires the GSKIT Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption library if the plug-in is configured to support encrypted connections to back-end WebSphere Application Servers.

Installing the web server plug-ins installs the GSKIT SSL encryption library at the required level if it is not installed. If you manually copy the plug-in to a new machine, you might not have the required GSKIT libraries for encrypting backend connections.

After configuring a web server, you can install applications on it. See the Applications section of the information center for more information.

Tip: To unconfigure a web server, reverse the manual steps and remove what was manually added in this procedure.
