Configuring the IBM HTTP Server

To configure the new HTTP Server instance:

1. Open a browser and enter this URL to start the IBM HTTP Server Web Administration console:

   http://server_name:2001/HTTPAdmin

2. Click the Manage tab.

3. Select the HTTP Server you created in Creating a New HTTP Server Instance, for example HTTPSVR.

4. In the left pane, scroll down and select Tools > Edit Configuration File.

   The configuration file includes a port listen command for the port number you specified when you created the HTTP Server port in Creating a New HTTP Server Instance. This port number might not be the same as the port you specified when you installed the HTML Server. For example, if you selected port 81 as the HTTP Server port, the command in the configuration file should be:

   Listen *:81

5. When an instance is installed with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager an entry is added into the httpd.conf file to include the contents of the scf_<INSTANCE_NAME>.conf file. You can verify this by checking for the following line in the httpd.conf file (usually at the end of the file):

   Include /www/HTTPSVR81/conf/scf_<INSTANCE_NAME>.conf

   Where <INSTANCE_NAME> is the name of the created JD Edwards HTML Web Server (HTML Server) instance (for example, EA_JS_101 and so on).

   Refer to the sample screenshot below showing the include directive in the httpd.conf file.

   

6. Click the Apply button.

7. Click the OK button.

8. In the Configuration file, add this directive to the end of the file:

   <Directory "/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/default/
   installedApps/DENPBAS2/EA_JS_202.ear/webclient.war/WEB_INF">
   

   This directive allows access to the webclient.war directory.

9. To secure your configuration file, deny access to the WEB-INF directory by adding following to the configuration file, after the above directive.

   For Apache 2.2 Based IBM HTTP Server:

   <Directory "/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/default/
   installedApps/DENPBAS2/EA_JS_202.ear/webclient.war/WEB_INF">
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from All
   </Directory>
   

   For Apache 2.4 Based IBM HTTP Server:

   <Directory "/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/default/
   installedApps/DENPBAS2/EA_JS_202.ear/webclient.war/WEB_INF">
   Require all denied
   </Directory>
   

10. Click the Apply button.

11. Click the OK button.

    Tip: You can click on Display configuration file to look and review the contents of the configuration file. An example screen shot is shown below.Click the Close button.
