Apache binary missing in downloaded version of EWS 2.0

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Web Server
    • 2.0

Issue

  • We downloaded jboss-ews-2.0.0-RHEL5-x86_64 and once we unzipped it we noticed that the Apache binaries are missing (there is no "httpd" folder).
  • We could only find the tomcat6 and tomcat7 directories.

Resolution

The reason why you do not see 'httpd' in your EWS 2.0 install is because the distribution has changed. The EWS 2.0 install guide covers why 'httpd' is not included in the jboss-ews-2.0.0-RHEL5-x86_64 files that have been download.

JBoss Enterprise Web Server 2 is packaged so that there are two ZIP files for each platform. The following ZIP files are available for each supported platform: jboss-ews-application-servers-2.0.0-<platform>-<architecture>.zip which contains:

  • Tomcat 6
  • Tomcat 7

Platform specific utilities jboss-ews-httpd-2.0.0-<platform>-<architecture>.zip, which contains:

  • Apache http server.
  • All http modules.

This was done so that if you simply wanted to install Apache or Tomcat that you could choose the product you wish to install or mix and match base on your needs.
