Stop LLAWP When Stopping IBM HTTP Server 2.0.47
The IBM HTTP Server 2.0.47 on Windows 2000 and 2003 crashes if the
ibm_afpa_module and the Web Agent are enabled. If the ibm_afpa_module is
loaded and a module registering an init function does not exit that function
quickly, the apache.exe child process crashes with an access violation in
LIBAPR.dll.
To solve this issue for versions of IBM HTTP Server v2.0.x, if there is an
<IfModule mod_afpa_cache.c> line in the httpd.conf file associated with
LoadModule ibm_afpa_module, comment out the following lines:
#LoadModule ibm_afpa_module modules/mod_afpa_cache.so
#<IfModule mod_afpa_cache.c>
# AfpaEnable
# AfpaCache on
# AfpaPort 8082
# AfpaLogFile "C:/Program Files/IBM HTTP Server 2.0/logs/afpalog"
V-ECLF #</IfModule>
#<IfModule !mod_afpa_cache.c>
# Listen @@Port@@
#</IfModule>
By disabling the AFPA module, the IBM HTTP Server 2.0.47 starts properly.
Note: More information about the IBM HTTP Server limitation may be found by
reading the document titled "Hang or crash of Microsoft Windows when Running
AFPA and When Antivirus Software is Active" on the IBM Support site.
Lack of Write Permissions on Host Configuration File
Symptom:
My web agent log shows the following error:
Siteminder Web Agent not having write permissions on host configuration file.
Solution:
Verify that the account under which the web server operates has write
permissions for the SmHost.conf file. For example, on IIS web servers, verify
that the NETWORK SERVICE account has write permissions for the SmHost.conf
file.
