Use

The Apache Web server can start in normal or SSL mode.

  • In normal mode, it only receives HTTP requests.

  • In SSL mode, it only receives HTTPS requests.

To start the Apache Web server in SSL mode, modify the configuration file TREXDaemon.ini.

Procedure

  1. Log on as the TREX user ( <TREX_instance_number>).

  2. Stop TREX using the TREX daemon.

  3. Go to the TREX installation directory.

  4. Open the file TREXDaemon.ini with a text editor.

  5. In the [apache] section, add the -DSSL entry after the arguments parameter.

    [apache]

    executable=httpd

    arguments=-d%SAP_RETRIEVAL_PATH% /Apache -R%SAP_RETRIEVAL_PATH% /Apache/libexec -F -DSSL

    startdir=%SAP_RETRIEVAL_PATH% /Apache/bin

    instances=1

    priority=normal

    affinity = 0

  6. Save and close the file.

  7. Start TREX.

Result

When you next restart TREX, the Apache Web server is started in SSL mode.
