Error description
In the WebSphere Application Server v6.1 Administrative Console, when a web server definition is created for an IBM Http Server v6.1, the Process Definition has these settings by default: Executable name = cmd.exe startCommand = cmd.exe startCommandArgs = /c ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/apache.exe -k start -n IBMHTTPServer6.1 -f ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/conf/httpd.conf stopCommand = cmd.exe stopCommandArgs = /c ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/apache.exe -k stop -n IBMHTTPServer6.1 -f ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/conf/httpd.conf With these default settings, when the administrator tries to start or stop the web server, they get an error that says: Windows Service name IBMHTTPServer6.1 on Node01/webserver1 Web server could not be started (or stopped). This problem happens only on Microsoft Windows operating system, and is related to the use of the cmd.exe as the start and stop commands.
Local fix
The work-around is to put the Apache.exe command into the Executable name, and startCommand, and stopCommand as follows. Change the web server Process Definition settings to this: Executable name = Apache.exe startCommand = ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}\bin\Apache.exe startCommandArgs = -k start -n IBMHTTPServer6.1 -f ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/conf/httpd.conf stopCommand = ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}\bin\Apache.exe stopCommandArgs = -k stop -n IBMHTTPServer6.1 -f ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/conf/httpd.conf
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V6.1 and V7.0 on a Microsoft Windows * * operating system * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Start or Stop of IBM HTTP Web server * * fails for the default install path * * due to limitations of command * * "/c cmd.exe" * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: NOTE: Application of this fix will only * * resolve this problem for newly created * * IBM HTTP Server Web server definitions. * * See Circumvention for immediate workaround * **************************************************************** The command in the IBM HTTP Server ProcessDefs, "/c cmd.exe" does not handle the IBM HTTP Server start and stop requests when the IBM HTTP Server is installed to the default path "c:\Program Files\IBM\HTTPServer". The problem is due to a limitation or restriction with the use of quotes for the IBM HTTP Server install path and IBM HTTP Server Configuration file path. When the default install path and configuration file path are used with the "/c cmd.exe" the leading and ending Quotes are dropped and this causes an abbreviated command to be executed, which result in start or stop failure.
Problem conclusion
The solution in this APAR was a code change to Web server create. The ProcessDef for the IBM HTTP Server has been changed at web server create to use the direct execution of the command to start or stop IBM HTTP Server, ${WEB_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/apache.exe rather than "/c cmd.exe" The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fixpacks 6.1.0.23 and 7.0.0.3.
