3.7 Installing the Web Server
3PAR System Reporter requires Apache HTTP Server, version 2.0 or later.
A copy of the installer executable for Windows of Apache HTTP Server, version 2.2, is located
on the 3PAR System Reporter CD or see www.apache.org. for download instructions. Red Hat
Linux typically includes the Apache Web Server.
Use the Apache HTTP Server Installation Wizard to complete a typical installation,
accepting all defaults (with possibly the exception of the Administrator’s Email address).
To verify successful installation of Apache HTTP Server:
 Open a Web browser and point it at the Web server (or localhost if the browser is on the
same machine).
If the installation was successful, you will see a message in the Web browser that confirms
that your installation was successful.
NOTE: System Reporter 2.8 and beyond supports secure connections on Apache
servers using the SSL protocol. For details on implementing the SSL protocol on
Apache servers, please consult the following links:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_intro.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_howto.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/ssl/ssl_faq.html
NOTE: On Linux, Apache should be configured to run as the default apache user
and the sampleloop daemon will also be configured to run as the apache user.
The default locations for html files (/var/www/html) and CGI files (/var/www/cgi-
bin) should be used because the sysrptwebsrv package installs files in these
directories.
