Add Directives to the httpd.conf File After New Installations

After running the configuration script (nete-wa-config.sh), you must add certain directives to the httpd.conf file of the IBM HTTP Server (Domino Go) Web Server in order for the server to run properly with the Web Agent.

To add directives to the httpd.conf file

1. Copy the webagent_home/samples folder to the document_root location of the web server.

   Example: /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/pub is an example path of a document_root location.

   Note: For more information about the location of this directory, see the documentation for your web server.

2. Add the following directives to the httpd.conf file of the IBM HTTP Server (Domino Go) Web Server:
   • To execute PERL files in a given folder:

     Exec folder_name/* path_to_the_folder/*

     Example: Exec /cgi-bin/* /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/pub/cgi-bin/*

     Note: /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/ is an example of a path to the Web server instance.

   • To specify the document root of the Web server:

     Pass /* Path_to_the_document_root/*

     Example: Pass /* /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/pub/*

     Note: /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/ is an example of a path to the Web server instance.

   • To execute the .gif files on the browser:

     Pass alias_name*.gif

     Pass alias_name*.gif path_to_the_folder_containing_the.gif_files/*.gif

     Example: Pass /siteminderagent/pw/* .gif/usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/pub/samples/pw/*.gif

     Note: /usr/lpp/internet/my_instance/ is an example of a path to the Web server instance.

   The new directives are added.
