Topic: How to install apache web server for all users

[rabisankar]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy siteminder web agent on apache web server.
They have a pre-req which says that
while installing apache server, "install as a service, available for all users"

"When an Apache-based web server is installed using a single user account, the Agent configuration cannot detect the Apache-based web server installation."

I don't see any msi installer anymore for apache web server, which had this option to select while installing.
Now all i see is a zip file and i just have to unzip as part of installation. With this when I install httpd as a service, it is not detected by siteminder agent.

So how can I set this "install as a service, available for all users" after installing from zip file?

Thanks,
Rabi

If you are using Apache2.4, maybe your siteminder is looking for Apache2.2. The easy test for that is

httpd -k uninstall
httpd -n Apache2.2 -k install

That just names the service Apache2.2 instead of Apache2.4, to fool siteminder.

Of course I'm just guessing here not ever using or even knowing of siteminder.
