Managing the iTP Secure WebServer
Using Scripts
This section describes the httpd command and how to manage the iTP Secure
WebServer environment using the scripts provided.
To learn how to perform the same tasks from your browser, see Section 12, Managing
the iTP Secure WebServer From Your Browser.
The httpd Command
The httpd command starts, stops, and restarts the iTP Secure WebServer environment.
The command takes the following actions on startup:
•
Reads and validates a configuration file, which describes the entities to be created.
•
Creates a PATHMON process to provide process-management services for the iTP
Secure WebServer environment
•
Starts the iTP Secure WebServer (the httpd server) as a NonStop TS/MP server
class.
•
Checks configuration for transport services providers and server CPUs. If TCPSAM
specified and a TCPMON running on every CPU, then uses Parallel Library TCPIP,
otherwise, starts the Distributor process as a NonStop TS/MP server class.
•
Starts the generic CGI server and any other specified servers that use the Pathway
CGI interface.
