A.3 April 12, 2013

Updates were made to the following section. The changes are explained below.

A.3.1 Apache HTTP Server

Section 7.0, Apache HTTP Server was updated to describe key considerations for using Apache 2 on Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 SP3 servers.

When you install OES services on the server, Novell-ready versions of Apache 2 HTTP Server and Tomcat 5 are automatically installed. Apache and the OES Welcome Web site are automatically configured for non-secure port 80 and secure port 443. The Apache HTTP Server daemon (httpd2) starts automatically on server restart.

To set up personalized Web sites, you must manually create a virtual host configuration file for each Web site. Templates for secure SSL virtual host and non-secure virtual host configuration files are available in the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ directory. Use a text editor to create or modify the configuration files, then gracefully restart the Apache daemon (rcapache2 graceful) to apply the changes.

WARNING:Do not install the SUSE Linux Web and Lamp Server pattern. Do not use the HTTP Server option in YaST to manage Apache or virtual host settings on an OES server. It overwrites essential OES settings for Apache and breaks the existing setup. For recovery information, see Section 7.4.1, Apache Server Errors after Using the HTTP Server Option in YaST.
