Configuring the Apache Web server

When you have installed the gateway files for your operating system, you need to configure your Web server to find and recognize the Gateway files.

Add the following lines to the srm.conf (srm.cnf on OS/2) file on your Web server:

ScriptAlias /dmq-bin/ /gateway_dir/ Alias /dmq/ /docs_dir/ Where gateway_dir is the path to the Gateway files directory for your installation, and docs_dir is the path to the documentation files directory for your installation.
For installations on OS/2 and Windows/NT platforms all occurrences of '/' on the right hand side of the statements should be replaced by '\'.

Additional configuration for AIX, HP-UX, & Solaris

The default user name for most servers is 'nobody'. To maintain security, this name must be changed using the following procedure:

Edit the httpd.conf (httpd.cnf on OS/2) file and change the User directive to your new userid.

You can use a name that already exists in your mqm group, or you can create a new one specifically for your Web server, and add it to the group.


Where next?

When your Web server configuration is complete, the gateway is ready for use.
