Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 99SBootStrapPluginsIHS.ant isn't able * * to set the bitsdir correctly * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** One of the properties supplied to 99SBootStrapPluginsIHS.ant is the location of the IHS httpd.conf file. Some customer have been deviating from the traditional location [IHSRoot]/conf folder to something below that location or totally outside the IHS install. The ANT script relies on using this location to determine which bit value to use when setting the httpd.conf LoadModule was_ap24_module statement. As part of this problem, there hasn't been enough messaging to help customer understand the issue nor provide any flexibility to deviate.
Problem conclusion
The 99SBootStrapPluginsIHS.ant has been updated to provide additional detailed messaging when a problem arises from using bad location and to recognize a new environment variable ( WASPLUGIN_IHS_ROOT ) that can be set prior to running PCT or manually using 99SBootStrapPluginsIHS.ant script. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.8. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
