The ActiveGrid Server has been tested to work under the IBM HTTP Server 6.0.2.3. This means that instead of using the Apache Server that ships with ActiveGrid Server, we enable ActiveGrid’s runtime and server features to run natively in the IBM Server. This appendix explains how to set up this configuration. It contains the following sections:
This step is necessary only if you are planning to use ActiveGrid’s distributed session feature. In the
httpd.conf file, add the
ServerName directive to specify the machine’s hostname and port:
The ActiveGrid Server requires ActiveGrid’s own version of mod_python. If you already have
mod_python installed on the IBM HTTP Server, you must remove it from the Apache configuration.
If you have existing mod_python based applications, configure them to run under ActiveGrid’s version of
mod_python. If your applications require third-party Python libraries, then you might need to install these directly into the Python library directory. Python is located in
INSTALL_DIR/3rdparty/python.
