Chapter 4: Installing and Configuring a Web Server Redirector Plug-In

Start the Apache Web server

Add this line to the APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl script:

LD_PRELOAD=<install dir>/libexec/libjeas_mod.so:<install dir>/libjcc.so; export LD_PRELOAD
export SHLIB_PATH=<install dir>/libexec:.:$SHLIB_PATH

For Apache 2.0 replace libjeas_mod.so with libjeas2_mod.so.

Run:
```
./apachectl start
```

Verifying that the redirector plug-in is working correctly

To verify that Apache Web server redirector plug-in is installed and working correctly:

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

% pwd
```
testarea/apache/libexec
```
% ls
```
httpd.exp
libjeas_mod.so or libjeas2_mod.so
libjsybscl_r.so
libjcc.so
libjeasproxy_mod.so
libjlog.so
libjtml_r.so
libjctssecct.so
libjinsck_r.so  
libjeas_httpd40.so
libjintl_r.so
```
If any of these files are not present, copy them from the $JAGUAR/lib directory of your EAServer installation.

Verify that the conn_config file exists in the Apache configuration directory. For example:

% pwd

testarea/apache/conf

% ls

access.conf
httpd.conf.default
mime.types.default
access.conf.default
magic
srm.conf
conn_config
magic.default
srm.conf.default
httpd.conf
mime.types

Verify the Connector.WebApp directive is correctly set in the conn_config file. For example:
```
Connector.WebApp /* = http://hostname:8080
```
where hostname is the machine name where EAServer is installed, and 8080 is the EAServer HTTP port number, and “/*” appears immediately after Connector.WebApp.

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

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.
