You can configure IBM HTTP Server (IHS) for use with the
Management Console, but it is highly recommended that you use the
built-in Apache HTTP Server.
Before you begin
- Due to restrictions in the license server, the Build Forge console
and IBM HTTP Server must be running on the same operating system and
hardware platform.
- Use the precompiled PHP modules provided. If they do not work,
you need to compile the PHP modules by yourself. Check the release
notes to be sure that modules for your operating system are in fact
included.
- In the examples, the following directories are used as the IBM
HTTP Server installation directories. Substitute your installation
directories if they are different.
- Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\HTTPServer
- Unix and Linux: /opt/IBM/HTTPServer
About this task
This topic describes how to do the following tasks:
- Set up the precompiled PHP files.
- Modify your IBM HTTP Server configuration files to point to the
Build Forge web application.
- If you use a proxy server to access the database, modify PHP to
use the proxy server.
- If you use SSL, configure IHS to work with Build Forge through
SSL.
- Windows systems: replace the libeay32.dll in the IBM HTTP Server
installation directory.
- AIX systems: additional setup
