# Configure IBM HTTP Server Versions 6.1 and 7.0

This section provides the procedure for configuring IBM HTTP Server (IHS) to work with OpenText PPM.

To configure IHS for OpenText PPM:

1. Go to `<PPM_Home>/integration/webserverplugins/ibmihs/aix/powerpc-32/mod_jk.so,` and then copy `mod_jk.so` to the IHS module directory (usually `<IHS_Home>/modules`).

   Note: The Jakarta Tomcat Connector (`mod_jk`) is used to connect IHS and OpenText PPM. The Ajp13 protocol keeps an open socket and controls the communications between OpenText PPM (its built-in Tomcat component) and IHS.

2. Instruct IHS to load the Jakarta Tomcat Connector (`mod_jk`). You can use the IHS LoadModule configuration directives in the `httpd.conf` file, which is located in `<IHS_Home>/conf` (where `<IHS_Home>` is the IHS installation directory).

3. Add the following lines of text to the `httpd.conf` file:

       LoadModule jk_module <Relative_Modules_Path>/mod_jk.so
       JkWorkersFile <Relative_Conf_Path>/workers.properties
       JkMountFile <Relative_Conf_Path>/uriworkermap.properties
       JkLogFile <Relative_Logs_Path>/jk.log
       JkMountCopy On
       JKLogLevel ERROR

   Caution: If you plan to enable SSL on IHS, then you must also add the "JkMountCopy On" virtual host directive.

4. Go to the `<PPM_Home>/integration/webserverplugins/configuration` directory, and then copy the `workers.properties` and `uriworkermap.properties` to the IHS configuration directory (usually `<IHS_Home>/conf`).

5. Configure the `workers.properties` file. (For detailed information and instructions, see Configure the Workers Properties file.)

6. Configuring the `uriworkermap.properties` file to specify mappings between a given URL (or URL pattern) and worker name. (For detailed information and instructions, see Configure the uriworkermap.properties File on Microsoft IIS and Apache-Based Servers

   Note: Make sure that the name of the worker mapped to `/itg/*` pattern in the `uriworkermap.properties` file matches the name of the worker defined in the `workers.properties` file. This worker must also be listed in the `worker.list` directive of the `workers.properties` file.

7. Restart your IBM HTTP Server to see whether your configuration works.
