Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS
D-8 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS
Customizing the Server Environment
The installation procedure creates a file named HTTPD.CONF and places it in
APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]
. The HTTPD.CONF file stores information that the Oracle
HTTP Server uses to set up the server environment .
HTTPD.CONF has been
tailored to use OpenVMS syntax, but its overall functionality is essentially identical
to HTTPD.CONF on the UNIX platform.
HTTPD.CONF contains an explanation for each line that it can execute . You can
refer to these explanations when customizing the file for your environment . You
can also refer to any generally available Apache documentation on HTTPD.CONF.
Note the following about HTTPD.CONF on OpenVMS:
■
MOD_OSUSCRIPT has been added to enable CGI scripts that were originally
written for the OSU server.
■
UNIX-style path names are recognized by OpenVMS
.
You can use either
UNIX-style or OpenVMS-style path names in the configuration file . However,
you cannot intermix the two styles within a specification.
■
In an OpenVMS Cluster, you can specify either clusterwide or system-specific
files.
How to Configure Apache
Perform the following steps to configure Apache to run while using an account
other than the 'oracle' account:
1. Modify the configuration file HTTPD.CONF to include the following line:
User < username >
2. Modify APACHEUSER.COM to define logical APACHE_USERNAME to the
required username. Make sure that the username is exactly the same as
the entry in the httpd.conf file.
3. Restart the Apache Server if it is already running.
