Chapter 17. HTTP Clustering and Load Balancing

17.1. HTTP Server name conventions

The following tables outline the naming and location conventions used when discussing HTTPD-related topics.

Table 17.1. Apache HTTP Server provided by operating system
Operating System	HTTPD_CONF.D	HTTPD_CONF	HTTPD_MODULES
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (httpd)	`/etc/httpd/conf.d`	`/etc/httpd/conf`	`/etc/httpd/modules`
HPUX (Web Server Suite)	See note below.	`/opt/hpws/apache/conf`	`/opt/hpws/apache/modules`

Note

There is no conf.d in HP-UX's Web server Suite for Apache HTTP Server. You can create one, however:

Procedure 17.1. title

Table 17.2. JBoss Enterprise Web Server
Operating System	HTTPD_CONF.D	HTTPD_CONF	HTTPD_MODULES	Distribution
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	`/EWS_HOME/httpd/conf.d`	`/EWS_HOME/httpd/conf`	`/EWS_HOME/httpd/modules`	zip
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	`/etc/httpd/conf.d`	`/etc/httpd/conf`	`/usr/lib/httpd/modules`	rpm
Solaris	`/EWS_HOME/etc/httpd/conf.d`	`/EWS_HOME/etc/httpd/conf`	`/EWS_HOME/lib/httpd/modules`	zip
Windows	`/EWS_HOME/etc/httpd/conf.d`	`/EWS_HOME/etc/httpd/conf`	`/EWS_HOME/lib/httpd/modules`	zip

Note

Path variances:

If you are using a 64-bit architecture, amend the filepaths from the table above to use the lib64/ directory.
If you are using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installation, the httpd directory is named httpd22.
