Apache Web server agent

Brings the Apache server online, monitors it, and takes it offline. Reads the PID file of the HTTPD process to verify that the Apache server is online. Monitors the Apache server in detail by connecting to the httpd server on the given port.

This agent supports the Apache HTTP server 1.3, 2.0, and 2.2. It also supports the IBM HTTP Server 1.3 and 2.0.

Note   The Apache agent requires an IP resource for operation.

Before you use this agent:

• Install the Apache server on shared disk.
• Verify that the floating IP has the same subnet as that of the cluster systems.
• If you use a port other than the default 80, assign an exclusive port for the Apache server.
• Verify that the Apache server configuration files are identical on all cluster systems.
• ?Verify that the Apache httpd executable is in the PATH environment variable.
• Verify that the Apache server does not autostart on system startup.
• Verify that Inetd does not invoke the Apache server.
• Install the ACC Library 4.1.04.0 (VRTSacclib) if it is not already installed.

  If the ACC Library needs to be installed or updated, the library and its documentation can be obtained from the agent software media.

• Remove prior versions of this agent.
• The service group has disk and network resources to support the Apache server resource.
• Assign virtual host name and port to Apache Server.
