Procedure

1. To subscribe to the Apache HTTP Server CDN repositories for your operating system version, enter the following command as the root user:

   # subscription-manager repos --enable <repository>

   Note

   If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, replace <repository> with jb-coreservices-1-for-rhel-7-server-rpms.

   If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, replace <repository> with jb-coreservices-1-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms.

2. To install the Apache HTTP Server, enter the following command as the root user:

   # yum groupinstall jbcs-httpd24

   Note

   With the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, JBCS no longer uses the yum groupinstall command. For more information about configuring HTTPD on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, see Deploying different types of servers: Setting up the Apache HTTP Web Server.

Procedure

1. To install httpd, enter the following command as the root user:

   $ yum install httpd

2. To install the mod_jk, mod_cluster, mod_rt, and mod_bmx modules, enter the following commands as the root user:

   $ yum install jbcs-httpd24-mod_jk-ap24
   
   $ yum install jbcs-httpd24-mod_cluster-native
   
   $ yum install jbcs-httpd24-mod_bmx
   
   $ yum install jbcs-httpd24-mod_rt

   Note

   When the Apache HTTP Server (httpd) is installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, the base operating system modules are located in the /usr/lib64/httpd/modules directory. JBCS modules such as mod_jk, mod_cluster, mod_rt, and mod_bmx are currently located in the /opt/rh/jbcs/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules directory. These JBCS modules follow all JBCS rules for naming, directories, and prefixes.

3. To use these modules, perform either of the following steps:

   • Create or modify the configuration file to add the LoadModule command. For example:

     LoadModule jk_module /opt/rh/jbcs/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so

   • Include the directory of the installed JBCS modules in the JBCS_HOME/httpd/conf.d directory.
