If you choose to use an Apache web server, you must manually create the bridge between the web server and the DocuShare Tomcat servlet.

During DocuShare software installation, the wizard installs the following Apache files:

•        <DSHome>/tomcat/bin/native/apacheX.X/mod_jk.so

•        <DSHome>/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf

•        <DSHome>/tomcat/conf/jk/apacheX.X/httpd.conf

To manually create a bridge between an Apache web server and the DocuShare Tomcat servlet:

1.       In your DocuShare directory, open the file <DSHome>/tomcat/conf/jk/apacheX.X/httpd.conf.

2.       Copy all of the lines of code that appear in this file.

3.       Locate the directory where you installed your Apache software, open the httpd.conf file in that directory, and paste the lines of code into that file.

Note:  If you are running Apache 2.0, replace the word Directory with Location after adding the lines to your httpd.conf file. The line should read: <Location "/docushare/"> AuthType BasicAuthName "DocuShare" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd Require valid-user</Location>

4.       Save the file.

5.       Restart Apache.
