Install and configrue Web Server 1.1 Plug-Ins with Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.3)

1- Download Apache Software

http://httpd.apache.org

2-Install Apache op Linux

cd /usr/local/src

# gzip -d httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz

# tar xvf httpd-2.2.9.tar

cd httpd-2.2.9

# ./configure --help

3- In the following example, Apache will be compiled and installed to the default location

/usr/local/apache2 with the DSO capability. Using the –enable-so option, you can load modules

to Apache at runtime via the Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) mechanism, rather than requiring a recompilation.

4-# ./configure --enable-so

5- # make

6- # make install

Note: During the ./configure, you may get the following error message.


7- # ./configure --enable-so

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

See `config.log' for more details.

configure failed for srclib/aprInstall the gcc and the dependent modules as shown below and try ./configure again to fix the above issue.


# rpm -ivh gcc-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.5-18.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.5-18.i38

10- Dowload WLSPlugin from http://Metalink.oracle.com

11- unzip WLSPlugin1.1-64bitApache2.2-linux64-x86_64.zip

for example /BEA_HOME/WLSPlugin1 or anyother directory

12- make sure the mod_wl_220.so library in you Plg-in lib directory

13 - Verify that mod_so.c is enabled by executing the following command:

#APACHE_HOME\bin\apachectl -l . the result must be like that

/apachectl -l

14- Make copy of httpd.conf file

15- Add the http.conf file

# vi http.conf

- Add the following lines to the http.conf file

LoadModule weblogic_module /mnt/orc6/Oracle/Middleware/WLSPlugin1.1/lib/mod_wl.so




WebLogicHost (your weblogic host name)
WebLogicCluster  (your host name:port number, host name:port number)
Ex.
WebLogicCLuster myhost:7003,myhost:7004

Debug ALL

DebugConfigInfo ON

WLLogFile /mnt/orc6/Oracle/Middleware/WLSPlugin1.1/wl-proxy.log

SetHandler weblogic-handler

Using virtual host in place of Load Moduel

We can add the followin lines if we want to use virtual host in place of load moduel




SetHandler weblogic-handler

WebLogicCluster Hostname:7003,HostName:7004






SetHandler weblogic-handler

WebLogicHost  YOUR HOST NAME
WebLogicPort 7002



16- Ensure that the ${PLUGIN_HOME}/lib is included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/myhome/weblogic-plugin-1.1/lib

other options include copying the 'lib' contents to APACHE_HOME/lib or

editing the APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
18- Start the apache server
