This section describes known Apache Web server and load balancer plugin issues and associated solutions.
When compiling and building openssl, run the following commands:
cd openssl-0.9.7e config make |
Also, for Apache 1.3, the directory name of the mod_ssl source will vary depending upon the release of Apache used. For example, for Apache 1.3.33, the name is mod_ssl-2.8.22-1.3.33.
To run Apache security, you must use a certificate. For instructions on obtaining a certificate from a certificate authority, see the information on certificates in the modssl FAQ.
On Solaris, if your Application Server was installed under root, you must start the Apache Web Server as root. Java Enterprise System installations are installed as root. For Apache 2.0, after starting as root, Apache switches and runs as another user you designate. You designate that user in the /conf/httpd.conf file. To start as root, on many systems you must edit the httpd.conf file to designate the correct group. Replace the line:
Group #-1 |
with
Group nobody |
More information on user/group use is included in the httpd.conf file.
After installing Apache 2.0 and the load balancer plug-in, edit ssl.conf and sll-std.conf as follows:
Replace the line:
<VirtualHost _default_:9191>
with
<VirtualHost machine_name:9191>
Where machine_name is the name of your machine and 9191 is a security port number.
