Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide

How to Install and Configure the Apache Application Software from the Apache Web Site

  1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

  2. Use the steps that the Apache documentation describes to install the Apache software.

    See the documentation that you received with your Apache software or the Apache web site at http://www.apache.org.

  3. Update the httpd.conf configuration file.

    • Set the ServerName directive.

    • Set the BindAddress directive (optional).

    • Set the ServerType, ServerRoot, DocumentRoot, ScriptAlias, and LockFile directives.

    • Set the Port directive to the same number as the Port_list standard resource property. See Step 4 for more information.

    • Make changes to run as a proxy server if you choose to run the Apache software as a proxy server. See the Apache documentation for more information. If you will run the Apache software as a proxy server, the CacheRoot setting must point to a location on the cluster file system.

  4. Verify that the port number or numbers in the httpd.conf file match those of the Port_list standard resource property.

    You can edit the httpd.conf configuration file to change its port number or numbers to match the standard Sun Cluster resource property default (port 80). Alternatively, while you configure Sun Cluster HA for Apache, you can set the Port_list standard property to match the setting in the httpd.conf file.

  5. Update the paths in the Apache start/stop script file (Bin_dir/apachect1).

    You must change the paths from the Apache defaults to match your Apache directory structure.

  6. Perform the following tasks to verify your configuration changes.

    1. Run apachectl configtest to check the Apache httpd.conf file for correct syntax.

    2. Ensure that any logical hostnames or shared addresses that Apache uses are configured and online.

    3. Issue apachectl start to start up your Apache server by hand.

      If Apache does not start up correctly, correct the problem.

    4. After Apache has started, stop it before moving to the next procedure.

Where to Go From Here

If the Apache data service packages have not been installed from the Sun Cluster 3.0 Agents 12/01 CD-ROM, go to "Installing Sun Cluster HA for Apache Packages". Otherwise, go to "Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Apache".
