Configuring Apache Http Server with Weblogic

In this article we will see how we can configure Apache to talk with Weblogic server at the backend. We will use the weblogic Apache plugin for connecting the Apache http server to weblogic. For this article I will be using Weblogic 10.3 on a Linux 6 -64 Machine. The apache server running is 2.2.15.

Here is the sequence of steps to configure Apache Http server with weblogic.

1. Copy the so file from

Wlserver_10.2/server/plugin/linux/x86_64/mod_wl_22.so to httpd/modules location

The mod_wl_22.so file depends on the architecture. You need to copy the correct file depending on your architecture.

2. Load the weblogic module using

LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_22.so

3. Now add the If Module information which will point to the Weblogic server running at back.

<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
        WebLogicHost 127.0.0.1
        WebLogicport 7001
        MatchExpression /*
</IfModule>

The above <IfModule> is a basic syntax for providing details about the running weblogic server. We define the weblogic Host and Port and Match Expression as /*.

Now once the configuration is done,restart the apache and access

Http://localhost/console and we will see the login page of the weblogic admin console.
