Installing and Configuring Apache

Language:

The Apache web server can be installed and set up as either a HTTPS or a HTTP web server. Configuration of SSL or TLS is entirely done within the Apache configuration itself. When using HTTP apache, you must add the HTTP ports to the Port_lists property of the SUNW.apache resource when it is created. This section provides procedures for both types of installations. To install the Apache web server, see one of the following procedures.

Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Apache works with the Apache software configured as either a web server or a proxy server.

See Apache documentation at http://www.apache.org for standard installation instructions. Contact your Oracle sales representative for a complete list of Apache versions that are supported with the Oracle Solaris Cluster software.

Note - The HA for Apache software can be configured to run in a zone cluster.
