Modifying the Site.Properties File

To configure SiteWand, copy the base configuration properties file linux.properties located in the ROOT_DIR/deploy/middleTier/siteProperties/ directory to the ROOT_DIR/deploy/middleTier/ directory. Rename linux.properties to site.properties. It specifies properties specific to the server installation.

The site.properties file also contains examples to modify the configuration properties. Use the appropriate example to modify the configuration property specific to the server installation.

In the site.properties file, modify the following properties:

• To run the server as a non-root user, set the port number to a value greater than 1024 for the following properties:
  • BASE_APACHE_SERVER_PORT
  • URL_PORT

  Lower-valued port numbers are usually reserved for system services.

• If you are running Apache as root and using https, then specify the following property values:
  • ENABLE_APACHE_SSL=true
  • BASE_APACHE_SERVER_AUX_PORT=443
• To customize Apache installed as a part of the EnterpriseTrack installation, configure the following properties:
  • CUSTOM_APACHE_CONFIG_PRE_LOADMODULES

    Enter a filename as the property value.

    This file must contain “httpd.conf” compatible commands and will be included just before the first of the LoadModule commands is executed. For example, use this feature to load custom Apache modules, such as SSO.

  • CUSTOM_APACHE_CONFIG_POST_LOADMODULES

    Enter a filename as the property value.

    This file must contain “httpd.conf” compatible commands and will be included just after the last of the LoadModule commands is executed, and the following “httpd.conf” directives have been executed: USER, GROUP, ServerAdmin, ServerName and UseCanonicalName Off.

  • CUSTOM_APACHECTL_CMDS

    Enter a Bourne shell filename as the property value.

    The file will be included (sourced) in the apachectl file used to start / stop the Apache “httpd” process.
