Appendix A Manually Configuring HTTP Servers
For information about manually configuring HTTP servers, see the PDF version of the eArray Director Software:
Installation and User’s Guide located on the distribution CD ROM.
Note: Use the procedures in this section if you elected not to have your HTTP server automatically configured during
installation of the Spheras Storage Director server or if you have trouble with your HTTP server. Refer to the
following sections:
A.1 Windows - HTTP Web Server Configuration on page 201
A.1.3 Linux - Manually Configuring an Apache HTTP Web Server on page 208
A.1.4 Solaris - Manually Configuring an Apache HTTP Web Server on page 210
A.1 Windows - HTTP Web Server Configuration
In order for the Spheras Storage Director Client to interact with the Spheras Storage Director Server, an HTTP server
must be installed on a minimum of one server. The Spheras Storage Director will work with either an Apache or
Microsoft IIS server. If multiple HTTP servers are installed on the same system, they must be configured to
communicate on different ports.
Use the following procedures according to which HTTP Web Server you are using.
A.1.1 Windows - Manually Configuring an Apache HTTP Web Server
To configure an Apache HTTP Web Server, follow these steps:
Using a text editor open the following file:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
Locate the section that discusses defining aliases:
# Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
# Alias fakename realname
#
# Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. So “/icons” isn’t aliased in this
# example, only “/icons/”. If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the
# realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the
# trailing slash, the realname must also omit it.
#
Alias /icons/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/icons/"
# Important: keep this line here
<Type your Alias here, see Step 3 for instructions>
<Directory “C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/icons”>
Options Indexes MultiViews

Note: Forward slashes (/) are used as the delimiter for all operating systems.
