Re: OWAS 3.0 and apache

Hello,

I want to use Apache as the listener for the incoming requests. This means that I no longer need spyglass.
My problem is that I don't know what to configure and how it should be done.

Do I need to change the apache parameter files to tell it to use the Oracle cartridges as well,
or - what seems to be more logical (or easier?) - do I need to tell Oracle WS that I now use the apache listener.

There is an example in the Oracle helpfiles for configuring Oracle WS to use IIS2 and Netscape fasttrack as an external listener, but not for apache.

Thanks

Wim
