IBM HTTP Server

Limitations and considerations

To install the IBM HTTP Server:

• IHS must be installed in /opt/IBM/HTTPServer. If IHS is installed in a different path, use the appropriate path for your IHS installation.
• IHS must be installed on CentOS. If assistance is needed with another platform, contact Support.

Installation

2. If you’re on IHS 9.0.0 or higher, download the Signal Sciences module package:
