Modifying the Start Mode of the Apache Web ServerLocate this document in the navigation structure

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

    [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.
