IBM HTTP Server
IBM HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP Server (httpd.apache.org
), developed by the Apache Software Foundation. In this section, we are going to install IBM HTTP Server which will receive our web requests and allow a web application running on WebSphere to be served over port 80 as opposed to the web container port. The diagram below depicts the configuration we are trying to achieve.
As shown in the diagram above, we will install IHS and the WebSphere plug-in to route HTTP requests to a single application server. In our example, we will be using IHS version 6.1, which can be downloaded from the IBM web site from the following URL.
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/webservers/httpservers/.
Download the install for Linux (ihs.6100.linux.ia32.tar). The download should not take too long as the size of the download is around 125 MB. Once you have downloaded the Linux tar file, upload it to your Linux machine to a folder called /apps/ihs_install
.
