Assumptions This document assumes that: You have Linux server 64 bit, and you have installed lasted Java JRE. Automic Application Manager V9.x has been properly installed and configured on Linux server. You are going to install Apache on the same server as Application Manager Master server. You have the old version or no Apache installed on Linux Server. The installation will be done by Automic Linux OS user with sudo root privileges. Having the root access is essential, without it you can not configure Apache correctly. For more detail information about Apache please refer to official Apache website project. http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24 Document Notes The examples in the document illustrate compilation, installation and configuration of Apache 2.4 on Oracle Linux Server using source code from the Apache site. These steps should apply to other Apache distributions, Linux versions, and sources. Procedures to Install/Configure Apache2.4.x The Apache HTTP Server Project itself does not provide binary releases of software, only source code. Individual independent developers may provide binary packages as a convenience, but it is not a release deliverable. This document shows you how to compile Apache 2.4 on Linux server. Souny Barati 4 Steps to Compile and Configure Apache 2.4.27 SECTION 1: You must download Apache2.4.27 from a trusted Apache distribution site(e.g. www- us.apache.org ). ➢ Apache source code httpd-2.4.27.tar.gz Prerequisite for Apache Installation After downloading the above zip file you need to extract it on a temporary directory. ➢ Use mkdir command to create directory to extract the Apache source files. $> mkdir /tmp/Apache_src ➢ Than you can use wget command to get Apache zip source file. $> mkdir apache-src $> cd apache-src $> wget http://apache.cs.utah.edu//httpd/httpd-2.4.27.tar.gz ➢ next you need to extract the new Apache zip file $> tar zxf httpd-2.4.27.tar.gz Souny Barati 5 ➢ Beside Apache source files you need to get the Apache Portable Runtime (APR 1.6.2), and the APR Apache Portable Runtime Utility library (APR-util 1.6.0) packages from Apache site. ➢ Unpack APR 1.6.2 and APR-util1.6.0 sources into the apache srclib sources before compiling Apache. $ cd httpd-2.4.27 $ cd srclib $ wget http://www.namesdir.com/mirrors/apache//apr/apr-1.6.2.tar.gz $ tar zxf apr-1.6.2.tar.gz $ mv apr-1.6.2 apr $ rm -f apr-1.6.2.tar.gz $ wget http://www.namesdir.com/mirrors/apache//apr/apr-util-1.6.0.tar.gz $ tar zxf apr-util-1.6.0.tar.gz $ mv apr-util-1.6.0 apr-util ➢ Next step is to update your Linux server with latest development packages: $> sudo su $> yum update --skip-broken $> yum install apr-devel $> yum install apr-util-devel $> yum install pcre-devel $> yum -y install openssl-devel $> yum -y install policycoreutils-python Souny Barati 6 Now you have update and installed all the required packages, you are going to compile and install Apache 2.4.27. Compile and Install Apache2.4 You need to change directory to /tmp/Apache_src/httpd-2.4.27/, and issue command below. [/tmp/Apache/httpd-2.4.27] $> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-ssl --with-mpm=prefork --with-included-apr –with-included-apr-util [/tmp/Apache/httpd-2.4.27] $> make [/tmp/Apache/httpd-2.4.27] $> make install Souny Barati 7 After the compilation finished successfully without any errors, before starting Apache you need to change some settings in httpd.conf in a newly installed Apache. Souny Barati 8 Access Application Manger via Apache2.4.x SECTION 2: In order to have access to the Application from newly installed Apache2.4.x, you need to modify httpd.conf file in Apache conf directory (e.g. </usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf ) If you install Apache2.4.x in this directory in this path (e.g. /usr/local/apache2/conf), you need fewer modifications in httpd.conf file and in other Apache files. Assuming you have installed Apache2.4.x on the /usr/local/apache2/conf directory, you need to modify and add a few directives in httpd.conf file. Starting from top of the httpd.conf ServerRoot "/usr/local/apache2" Souny Barati 9 Listen 5050 (Assuming when you have installed the Application Manager (AMv9) you assigned the Apache port to 5050 default for AMv9. If you choose to have a different port you have to make sure to modify Master /opt/app/Automic/Master/site/awenv.ini and all the jnlp files on /opt/app/Automic/Master/web/ ServerAdmin [email protected] (if you want to receive an email from Apache you can modify this line and add your support group email address.) ServerName AutomicVM (add the hostname of this server). Add the following lines to the end of the httpd.conf as shown below; most values are case sensitive. You just need to modify your Automation Engine name and path. Add this directive in httpd.conf file, to allow you to have access to the Application Manager web directory. ### SBSB Automic Alias Directive. <Directory "/opt/app/Automic/Master/web/"> AllowOverride none Require all granted </Directory> ### SBSB Automic Alias Directive. alias /AUTOPROD/ "/opt/app/Automic/Master/web/" AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP jnlp AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP jnlp AddType text/html .cfm AddDefaultCharset utf-8 After you have modified the file, save it and restart the Apache24 service from Linux services. Now you can start AMv9 from your web browser application “Firefox “ like this: http://AutomicVM:5050/AUTOPROD/Intro.html Now you have configured the Apache2.4.x to run Application Manger v9. Note: You have to give read and execute permission to the Application Manager web directory recursively to Apache user and group, other wise you will get access deny error when you try to access AMv9 home page. AH00132: file permissions deny server access Souny Barati 10 AH00035: access denied because search permissions are missing on a component of the path You need to use chmod command with 755 permission. [/opt/app/Automic/Master/web/] $> chmod -R 755 web Souny Barati 11 Setting up SSL/HTTPS server on Linux Section 2 Assuming that you already have Apache2.4 OpenSSL installed and configured to work on Linux (as mentioned in the section 1), there are two ways to get CA certificate: 1. Commercial one that you buy 2. Self-Signed Certificates that you create with OpenSSL Creating a self-signed SSL Certificate using OpenSSL These steps must be followed carefully in order to create SSL certificate. Open the command prompt and
