Serviceguard Toolkits for Contrib User Guide Version A.12.00.00

To create multiple Apache toolkit packages for multiple Apache instances:
1. Configure volume groups for each Apache instance.
To create volume groups applicable for both shared and local configuration:
a. Create another volume group, such as vgtry2.
b. Create a logical volume lvol in the volume group that you just created.
c. Create a file system on this logical volume and mount it.
For example: /mnt/vgtry2/apache
d. Copy all the files from the server root directory to /mnt/vgtry2/apache.
Configuring modular Apache toolkit packages
To configure modular Apache toolkit packages:
1. Create the package configuration template using the cmmakepkg command:
Configuration template: # cmmakepkg -m tkit/apache/apache pkg_apache.conf
2. Edit the following attributes of Apache toolkit parameters. Table 6 (page 12) lists all the

package fails.
• The http package fails when all the processes are
dead.
• Apache toolkit does not support online modification
of this attribute.
PID file holds the main httpd process ID of this Apache
instance. This PID file must correspond to the Apache
PID_FILE
PidFile directive in the httpd.conf. Under
