Web Server Integration

This page describes the mandatory steps needed to configure Oracle HTTP Server for IFS Applications. The server will typically run on the same host as the three WebLogic server processes, but it is also possible to install and run the HTTP server on a separate host.

The guide assumes Oracle HTTP Server has already been installed.
 

Create an Oracle HTTP Server instance for IFS Applications

1. Start the the Configure Web Tier Instance configuration wizard for your Oracle Web Tier home.
   
2. Click Next and select to configure Oracle HTTP Server. Click Next.
   
3. Specify Instance Home Location <ifs_home>\ohs, Instance Name <instance> and OHS Component Name <instance>.
   (It doesn't really matter where you keep the instance configuration files and what you call the OHS component. In this example we put the files in <ifs_home>.)
   
4. Click Next and select Auto Port Configuration.
   
5. In the next step you have the opportunity to register for security updates from Oracle.
6. Review the information you entered and let the wizard create your instance.
    

Integrate Oracle HTTP Server instance with your Weblogic domain

1. Edit <ifs_home>\ohs\config\OHS\<instance>\mod_wl_ohs.conf.
   
   Add the following single line to the end of the file:
   
   include <ifs_home>\instance\<instance>\conf\mod_wl_ohs_<instance>.conf
   
   Note: If you run the Oracle HTTP Server on a separate host you will have to copy mod_wl_ohs_<instance>.conf from your WebLogic host to your HTTP Server host.
   
   
2. Increase the size limits for requests in mod_wl_ohs.conf by adding the following lines:
   LimitRequestFieldSize 20480
   LimitRequestLine 40960
   
   Example:
   

   DocumentRoot "<ifs_home>/instance/<instance>/www-root"
   LimitRequestFieldSize 20480
   LimitRequestLine 40960
   <Directory "<ifs_home>/instance/<instance>/www-root">

3. Stop and then start the Oracle HTTP Server instance.
