Removing /etc/httpd on Caldera

On Caldera installations, the /etc/httpd directory is not used. Hence

there is no requirement to remove this directory (as it does not exist).

Figure 25 shows the results of issuing these commands on our front end

server with a RedHat installation.

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rpm  e mod_perl

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rpm  e php

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rpm  e apache

cannot remove /var/log/httpd   directory not empty

cannot remove /home/httpd/html   directory not empty

cannot remove /home/httpd   directory not empty

cannot remove /etc/httpd/conf   directory not empty

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rm  rf /var/log/httpd

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rm  rf /home/httpd

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rm  rf /etc/httpd

We can now proceed with installing the IBM HTTP Server.

2.4.4.2 IBM HTTP Server installation

The installation steps are as follows:

1. Install the IBM HTTP Server rpm package. In our instance the file is called

IBM_HTTP_SERVER 1.3.6.1.i386.rpm. See Figure 26 for the results of

the

rpm  i

command.

[root@bdtest2 /opt]# rpm  i /mnt/cdrom/ibmhttp/2.1/IBM_HTTP_Server 1.3

.6 1.i386.rpm

httpd: cannot determine local host name.

Use the ServerName directive to set it manually.

/opt/IBMHTTPServer/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

execution of script failed

2. Set ServerName directive

In the /opt/IBMHTTPServer/conf directory, we had to edit the httpd.conf,

adding the ServerName directive with our hostname. Figure 27 on page 36
