6. SERVLETEXEC/AS: APPLICATION SERVER (UNIX/LINUX)

fail, ServletExec is not fully supported in these environments. Correcting these types of

problems come with issues that are both technical and/or business-related and therefore

are not officially supported. If you do have any problems, first contact ServletExec

Tech Support at

support@newatlanta.com. Be sure to include the installation log

with your email so that the problems may be accurately analyzed.

 In addition to a JDK 1.3-, or 1.4-compliant VM, these installations require an ANSI C

compiler (GNU version 2.8.1 or higher preferred. Vendor-specific C compilers are not

supported) and a system-specific dynamic shared object loader.

See Section 6.4 for more information on the installation log.

6.2.2 JDK or JRE

ServletExec/AS 5.0 is not supported on JDK or JRE 1.2.x or earlier.

To install ServletExec/AS 5.0, you must first install a JDK 1.3-, or 1.4-compliant VM.

Visit your operating system vendor’s web site for information about downloading and

installing a Java VM.

6.2.3 Web server adapters

ServletExec/AS includes web server adapters for the following web servers on UNIX:

• Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1 and higher

• iPlanet Web Server 4.0 and higher

• Sun ONE Web Server 6.1

• Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 and higher

• Apache HTTP Server 2.0.43 and higher

6.2.3.1 Apache HTTP Server

Building the ServletExec/AS web server adapter for Apache requires use of the Apache

apxs utility, which in turn requires that you have perl, a C compiler, and a dynamic

shared linker installed prior to running the installer.

Apache HTTP Server must be built with Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support enabled

before installing a ServletExec/AS web server adapter.

Important

If you have previously built Apache without DSO enabled, you’ll also need to rebuild

Apache’s

apxs utility. Perform the following steps to rebuild Apache and apxs with DSO

enabled:

# cd <apache source directory>

# rm src/support/apxs

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so

# make

# make install
