Greetings,

We are investigating options for our Remedy Web-Tier platform.

Remedy has recommended Websphere, Apache, and WebLogic. We were told not to consider IIS due to our concurrent user base:

Concurrent Users: 650+
Tickets: 100,000 a month (defects, tickets, etc)

Does anyone run ServletExec on IBM HTTP service? I looked at the ServletExec system requirements and noticed IHS wasn't listed.

Do you guys have any recommendations based on our load?

Any help you could provide would be wonderful.

Apache with JBoss on Linux...

I didn't find a solution more faster for mid-tier.

I've actually been running Apache2/Tomcat on Windows pretty successfully in my demo & test environments. Took a little more to set up, but it has been very solid.

In your (the collective "you" in the forum) experience... has anyone ever tried the mid tier with IBM Http Server?

Hi Matt, We loaded Apache/Tomcat but cannot get rid of the :8080 port in the url. Tomcat says to use Root as User and Apache says that it is a big security hole. How did you get around the 8080, http://<servername>:8080/arsys/home?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

Search and replace the 8080 by the 80 in the apache and/or in the tomcat configuration file. Then restart your web server.

Thanks. We tried that and it already seems that Apache uses port 80 and tomcat used 8080. We could see the login page but were never able to actually log in. When we changed it back, we could still see the login page on both http://<servername> and http://<servername>:8080 but can only log or get itno through http://<servername>:8080. We're new to using Tomcat and Apache and this is what we were given. The other thing I should not is that our mid-tier is on the same server as the ARS Server.

If your apache is used only by tomcat, you can change the port of apache to 8080 and the port of tomcat to 80.
