I'm trying to integrate IBM Http Server to WAS on windows server. Webspher, IHS, Plugins, all installed on same server by installation manager, all of them are version 9 and 64bit.

Then I follow the steps on this(https://geekflare.com/integrate-http-server-with-websphere-8-5/) to start my integration, but something when wrong: I cannot find mod_was_ap22_http.so in my plugin folder. I when to check the folder X:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\64bits and D:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\32bits, I see mod_was_ap24_http.dll and mod_was_ap22_http.dll but not the .so that I need. I also tried to use mod_was_ap24_http.dll in my httpd.conf file but it's not working, then I got the following error

The IBMHTTPServer9 service is successfully installed.
Testing httpd.conf....
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.
httpd: Syntax error on line 116 of X:/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot loa

\xa3\xacO\xa6\xb3\xae\xc4\xaa\xba Win32 \xc0\xb3\xa5\xce\xb5{\xa6\xa1\xa1C

Is there something that I'm not doing right?

  • Libraries are named dll on windows (dynamic linked libraries) instead of so so the naming is correct. I don't think IHS ships a 64 bit version on windows. Are you using your IHS installation is 64bits? I suspect you want to load the 32bit version. My v9 IHS httpd.conf has the following configuration: – Betsy Riggins Dec 18 '19 at 13:59
  • LoadModule was_ap24_module "C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\32bits\mod_was_ap24_http.dll" – Betsy Riggins Dec 18 '19 at 14:00
  • @BetsyRiggins seem like you're right, this line did work. I also noticed in his post he said `was_app22_module ` and yours is `was_ap24_module `. He got additional 'p' in his command? – Kaninchen Dec 21 '19 at 09:05
  • "was_app22_module" would have never worked anywhere. I wouldn't trust much that you read in the linked guide. – covener Dec 25 '19 at 18:39

The guide is written for Linux and you're on Windows. Further, the guide has typos in configuration files. I'd suggest following the official docs and running PCT/WCT instead of manually configuring all of this.

Just add mentioned module:

[root@172 bin]# locate mod_was_ap22_http.so

Go to location:

/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/conf

vim http.conf

(add mentioned below module)

LoadModule was_ap22_module /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/bin/64bits/mod_was_ap22_http.so

./apachectl -k start
