Installing Apache HTTP Server for the Web tier
This recipe will describe a quick installation of the Apache HTTP Server because a Web tier is needed to illustrate the use of WebLogic Web Server plug-in.
The plug-in is used for load balancing and the failover of HTTP requests to WebLogic Server, and the next recipe will cover its configuration and usage.
Getting ready
This recipe assumes a Web tier with two dedicated Linux x86-64 machines named web01
and web02
. Both machines should have Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x running and listening for HTTP requests on port 80
. The Apache HTTP Server runs under the shell user webadmin
.
Tip
In production, use a minimum of two machines in all tiers to avoid a single point of failure.
