Configuration Methods for Apache Web Agents on UNIX Systems
Chapter 7: Configure an Apache Web Agent 127
Configure an Apache Web Agent Using GUI or Console Mode
These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode configuration. The steps for the
two modes are the same, with these exceptions for Console Mode:
■
You may be instructed to select an option by entering a corresponding
number. For example, to select the Apache Web Server, you enter a 1, which
corresponds to this server.
■
Press ENTER after each step to proceed through the process instead of
"clicking Next," as stated in the following procedure.
■
All passwords that you enter are displayed in clear text. To workaround this
issue, run the installation in GUI or unattended mode.
The prompts for each mode will help guide you through the process.
web_agent_home
Indicates the directory where the Web Agent is installed.
Default (Windows installations): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent
Default (UNIX installations): /opt/ca/webagent
To configure the Apache Web Agent
1. If necessary, start the Configuration Wizard.
a. Open a console window.
b. Navigate to web_agent_home/install_config_info
c. Enter one of the following commands:
GUI mode: ./ca-wa-config.bin
Console mode: ./ca-wa-config.bin -i console
2. If you have already done host registration, skip to the next step. Otherwise,
select the option to skip host registration, then click Next.
To register the trusted host, go to the installation chapter for your platform.
3. In the Select Web server(s) dialog box, select the option for the Apache Web
Sever and click Next.
4. In the Apache Web Server Path dialog box, specify the Apache Web Server
root, for example, /opt/apache2. Click Next.
If you installed the Agent on an Apache-based server, such as an IBM HTTP
Server, or Oracle server, the Web Agent may not recognize the path. In this
case, the Configuration Wizard displays the Apache Web Server Failure
dialog box with the following options:
■ I would like to re-enter the Apache Server Root.
Select this option for an Apache web server and re-enter the root path.
■ I would like to enter a specific configuration path.
