Install Apache Web Server 1.3.2.so File From DS 3.1 Patch 1

Updated
Requirements:
  • The current Sun Solaris 7 patch cluster available from Sunsolve
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
  • Apache Web Server 1.3.27 binary from SunFreeware.com
    ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/7/apache-1.3.27-sol7-sparc-local.gz
  • DocuShare’s mod_jk_so7.so file included with DocuShare 3.1 Patch-1.
Pre-installation:
  • If you are running DocuShare 3.1 on Solaris 7, the DocuShare connector from Apache to DocuShare’s Tomcat Web servlet requires Apache Web Server version 1.3.27.
  • Your Solaris server must be updated with the latest patch cluster from Sun before installing the Apache Web Server.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the Solaris Patch Cluster and Apache Web Server.
Installation of the DocuShare mod_jk.so File:

NOTE: Before installing the DocuShare Tomcat connector make sure the Apache installation is working correctly by connecting your Web browser to the home page of your Apache Web server.

Complete the following steps using methods or commands native to your Solaris operating system.
  1. Copy the mod_jk_so7.so file from the [default patch-1 installation path to mod_jk_so7.so goes here] directory to a temporary directory.
  2. Rename the mod_jk_so7.so file to mod_jk.so.
  3. Replace the mod_jk.so file in your Apache Web Server installation with the file you just renamed. The Apache mod_jk.so file is often located in the /usr/lib/httpd/modules directory. The actually location will vary depending on your server environment.
  4. Restart the Apache Web Server for the change to take effect.
After restarting Apache the DocuShare Tomcat connector will be enabled and DocuShare can be accessed though your Apache Web Server's HTTP port.

NOTE: We recommend copying the original mod_jk.so file supplied by Apache to a backup directory in case you need to restore the file.

Disable the Tomcat HTTP Port (optional):

To prevent users from accessing DocuShare through the Tomcat HTTP port, disable the Tomcat HTTP port.
  1. Open a command prompt or terminal window. Go to the [ds3home]/bin directory.
  2. Shutdown DocuShare using your normal procedure or the stop_docushare command in the command prompt or terminal window.
  3. Execute the start_docushare tomcat http off update-only command string from the [ds3home]/bin directory in the command prompt or terminal window.
  4. Restart DocuShare using your normal procedure or use the start_docushare command in the command prompt or terminal window.
  5. Leave the command prompt or terminal window open if you used the start_docushare command in the window to start DocuShare.
NOTE: You can check the ON or OFF status of the Tomcat HTTP port using the start_docushare env command. Execute the command in a new command prompt or terminal window while DocuShare is running. The command displays a status list of the DocuShare environment including the Tomcat HTTP port.
