ln -s /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
ln –s /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Note that this example for Gentoo includes a link for the Apache configuration
specification file (httpd.conf) since its name is different than that for an Apache Group
installation.
Please note that additional functionality has been included into the
BlueDragon Server
6.2.1 release allowing it to recognize the pre-installed Apache web server for RedHat &
CentOS distributions. When found, BlueDragon Server will report the location of the
Apache installation as “/etc/httpd” and will detect its specific version. All supported
versions of RedHat systems use only Apache 2 in their pre-installations. BlueDragon
will continue to search for Apache installations in the following directories, therefore
allowing the symbolic link technique above to continue to work. The search is done in
the following order:
/usr/local/apache
/etc/httpd
/usr/local/apache2
To prevent possible false duplicate installations from being reported, BlueDragon will
will detect if the search finds the pre-installed version in either the “/usr/local/apache” or
“/usr/local/apache2” directory.
3.7.4 iPlanet Web Server Issues
Following are issues specific to the iPlanet web server.
3.7.4.1 Disabling Netscape Enterprise Server/iPlanet Servlet Support
Finally, if you plan to install a BlueDragon web server adapter with Netscape®
Enterprise Server/iPlanet™ Web Server, you must first disable the web server’s built-in
servlet support (see
Appendix A of this document for detailed instructions).
3.8 Linux Installation Concerns
Following are some Linux-specific installation concerns.
3.8.1 Graphics Rendering Operations on a Headless Linux System
On Linux systems, the Java 1.4 implementation supplied with BlueDragon Server cannot
generate graphical objects via its AWT library without support from native libraries on
the system. Since Linux server systems are often configured without the graphical user
interface devices and therefore none of the native graphic rendering support. This causes
failures for both the cfImage tag as implemented in BlueDragon and for 3rd-party or
custom rendering packages when used in these configurations.
There are three common solutions to this problem;
