Apache mod_ibm_app_server_http.dll

[Julien80]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Websphere 4.0 with Apache, but I get an error message when I launch Apache:
"Cannot load C:/Program Files/Websphere/AppServer/bin/mod_ibm_app_server_http.dll into server. The specified module cannot be found".

I don't understand this message: the path is correct.

Here is my Apache httpd.conf:

LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module "C:\Program Files\Websphere\AppServer\bin\mod_ibm_app_server_http.dll"
WebSpherePluginConfig "C:\Program Files\Websphere\AppServer\config\plugin-cfg.xml"

AddModule mod_app_server_http.dll

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

The purpose of that file is so you can proxy traffic through Apache into WebSphere. The .dll file you see is the plugin that apache uses to figure out which traffic to server off itself and which traffic to serve to WebSphere. The .xml file you see is a configuration file that the .dll file uses. The .xml file basically has fiter rules inside it.

Double check that the .dll file is still there. Also double check that the .xml file is there. If that is missing, you can regenerate it from the WebSphere Admin Console under the 'Environment' -> 'Update Web Server Plugin'.

If you are missing the .dll file, try installing the IBM HTTPServer from the WebSphere CDs (you don't have to use it) but I know the .dll will come with that one. The IBM HTTPServer might be a smart choice to use anyway. It is basically the same thing as apache (with a few more IBM tweaks). It works the same and as far as I know all configuration is the same.

Another item that might be worth noting is that you should make the base install of WebSphere on a directory that does not contain any spaces such as "C:\WebSphere" (instead of "program files"). This can mess some things up later on for you.
