Set up Apache HTTP Server

This section describes the steps required to set up the Apache HTTP Server.

Installing Apache HTTP Server

You can install the Apache HTTP Server from the Apache website http://httpd.apache.org.Refer to the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway readme for the Apache HTTP Server version requirements, and download the supported version using the following steps.

The Apache HTTP Server can be installed in the following ways:

•	Download the source and compile the source.

•	Download the binary distribution and run the binary executable.

For example, on the Windows platform, you can download the binary executable of the installer as follows, which contains the pre-built Apache server.

On the Windows 64-bit Platform

Install the Apache HTTP Server on the Windows 64-bit platform as follows:

1.	Go to http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/

2.	Follow VC10 SP1 vcredist_x64.exe to install the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x64.

3.	Download the supported Apache 2.4.x win64 binary httpd-2.4.7-win64.zip file to install the Apache HTTP Server. Refer to the Apache HTTP Server documentation for complete installation details.

• Download the latest point release of the Apache 2.4 win64 binary from http://www.apachelounge.com/download. (For example, httpd-2.4.7-win64-VC11.zip is available at the time of this release.) • For the complete documentation of the Apache server, refer to the following link: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html

On the UNIX Platform

To install the Apache HTTP Server on the UNIX platform, perform the following steps:

1.	Go to the http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24 link.

2.	Download the source file. For example, httpd-2.4.7.tar.gz.

3.	Compile the source and install it. Refer to the Apache httpd server documentation for the complete installation details. You may download the binary installation for your distribution.

Configuring Apache HTTP Server for TIBCO API Exchange Gateway

1.	Open the APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file for editing.

2.	Add the following line in the file:

      Include ASG_HOME/modules/http_server/apache/mod_ASG.conf

Replace the ASG_HOME with the directory location where TIBCO API Exchange Gateway is installed.

3.	Modify the listening port, as required:

      Listen 8080

Edit the listen port only if you run the Apache HTTP Server as a normal user. If you run it as a superuser, the change in port is not required.

4.	Verify that you have set up the system environment variables. See Set System Environment Variables
