Note: This version of the VDT (1.10.1) is supported, but is not our latest stable release. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
configure_apache - Apache HTTPD configuration script
configure_apache --server <y,n>
--secure
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>
- --server <y,n>
-
For y, prepare Apache to be installed and started by vdt-control.
For n, describe Apache for use by vdt-control, but do not enable.
- --secure
-
By default all non-SSL traffic from everything except localhost will
be redirected to the SSL interface. This is required by some
administrative tools such as voms-admin. Once the initial
setup is done, however, running with such a setup can be insecure.
Re-running configure_apache with --secure will redirect non-SSL
traffic from localhost as well.
- --vdt-install <VDT installation root>
-
configure_apache will look for the root of the VDT installation at
$VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it
with --vdt-install instead.
- --help, --usage
-
Print a usage message.
By default the following changes are made to the stock Apache configuration:
- SSL is turned on
-
- Non-SSL traffic is forwared to the SSL interface for everything but localhost.
-
If you specify
--secure, traffic from localhost will be redirected as well.
- Ports are changed from 80/443 to 8080/8443
-
- The certificate/key pair is switched to those installed in /etc/grid-security/http
-
- Apache is set up to run as the daemon user
-
- The init script is modified to source the VDT setup.sh file
-
