Start the Apache Web server

  1. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in the shell used to start the Apache Web Server to include APACHE_HOME/libexec.

  2. Run:

    ./apachectl start
    

StepsVerifying that the redirector plug-in works correctly

  1. Verify that all the required libraries are copied to the libexec subdirectory of the Apache installation directory.

  2. Verify that the conn_config file exists in the Apache configuration directory.

  3. Verify that the Connector.WebApp directive is set correctly in the conn_config file. For example:

    Connector.WebApp /* = http://hostname:8080
    

    hostname is the machine name where EAServer is installed, and 8080 is the EAServer HTTP port number, and “/*” appears immediately after Connector.WebApp.

  4. Edit the apachectl shell script, and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include <APACHE_HOME>/libexec, where APACHE_HOME is the installation directory of your Apache Web server.

  5. Start the Web server. If it starts successfully, a disclaimer similar to the following is written to the log file (/testarea/apache/logs/error_log):

  6. Start EAServer on the host you specified in the conn_config file and from a Web browser, connect to the Web server’s default page.The redirector plug-in should redirect your request to EAServer’s home page. This is the hostname:port_number set in the Connector.WebApp directive in the conn_config file.
