Comments

  • See /usr/lpp/Printsrv/samples/httpd.conf.updates for how
    configure the Apache httpd.conf file for Apache 8.5.x or
    Apache 9.0.  The sample defaults to Apache 9.0 which is the
    strategic path.  See "Customizing the IBM HTTP Server -
    Powered by Apache" in Infoprint Server Customization
    (SA38-0691-01) for more information about configuring
    Apache for Infoprint Central.
    
    Look for these lines in httpd.conf.updates:
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    # Infoprint Central module
    # ------------------------
    # The default server is Apache 9.0
    LoadModule IpC_module /usr/lpp/Printsrv/lib/aopipc.so
    # To run with Apache 8.5 instead, use this module:
    # LoadModule IpC_module /usr/lpp/Printsrv/lib/aopipc_8.5.so
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    If you decide to use Apache 8.5 with Infoprint Central,
    then you would change  LoadModule in the httpd.conf file
    for Apache 8.5 to the value mentioned above.
    
    The customer has flexibility in where they install the
    31 bit version of Apache required by Infoprint Central.
    
    A normal place for the httpd.conf file for Apache 9.0 is:
    /etc/31bit/websrv9/conf/httpd.conf
    or
    /usr/lpp/ihsa_zos/.31bit/conf/httpd.conf
    
    A normal place for the httpd.conf file for Apache 8.5 is:
    /etc/31bit/websrv8/conf/httpd.conf
    or
    /usr/lpp/IHSA/V8R5/.31bit/conf/httpd.conf
