Configure Apache with Weblogic Server

Configure Apache with Weblogic Server

Steps to configure Apache plugin 2.2 with Weblogic Server :

- Download the latest plugin from the link below :

Link : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-plugins-096117.html

- Now unzip the file that you have downloaded. ( Eg : WLSPlugin1.1.zip ).

- Now copy all the files present under ” WLSPlugin1.1\Apache_2.2\lib ” to ” /bin ” folder.

( Note : Do not copy ” libapr-1.dll ” ).

Copy ” mod_wl.so ” from  ” WLSPlugin1.1\Apache_2.2\lib ” to ” APACHE_HOME/modules ” folder

- Take a backup of httpd.conf file present in ” APACHE_HOME\conf\ ” folder.

- Edit the httpd.conf file and make the following changes 

# for a single server

LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl.so

<IfModule mod_weblogic.c> 

WebLogicHost 127.0.0.1 

WebLogicport 7001

MatchExpression *

Debug ON

WLLogFile c:/global_proxy1.1.log

DebugConfigInfo On 

</IfModule&gt

<Location > 

SetHandler weblogic-handler 

</Location >

 Now start the Apache server and weblogic server.

- Access http://localhost:7001/console

****************************************************************************** Configure Apache with Weblogic Server

Step 1) Make sure the Apache server runs on port 8080.

(This is because sometimes IIS, or some antivirus softwarew runs on that port).

This can be done by modifying the httpd.conf present at,

\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Modify the Listen port to 8080

Step 2) Copy the mod_wl_20.so from \wlserver_10.3\server\plugin\win\32 to
\Apache2\modules

Step 3) Add these lines in the httpd.conf file

LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_20.so <Location /> SetHandler weblogic-handler </Location> <IfModule mod_weblogic.c>       WebLogicCluster localhost:7003 ,localhost:7005      Debug ON      WLLogFile c:/temp/wlproxy.log      WLTempDir c:/temp </IfModule>

Step 4) Restart Apache and access the application deployed on the Cluster using

http://localhost:8080/YourApp

This will forward the request to the Weblogic Cluster

You can check the headers sent and received to WLS in wlproxy.log file.
