Note: This version of the VDT (1.7.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. 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 install the
apache init script in /etc/init.d, make
appropriate run level links and start the server. For n remove
any existing apache init from /etc/init.d.
- --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
-
