Configure Apache Server running in WAMP server
Introduction
WAMP Server refers to a software stack for the Microsoft Windows operating system, consisting of the Apache web server, OpenSSL for SSL support, MySQL database and PHP programming language. It comes as a bundled application with all the above components. So it is not necessary to deploy the Web server, Database server and the framework separately and configure them individually. One can try downloading the WAMP Server and installing it.
Setting up the Apache Server for monitoring
Initially when you start the WAMP server for the first time, you won't be able access the server URL (http://host:port/). This is because that the server would have blocked the permission to access the files initially. So first you have to 'Grant Permission' for the files inside the server.
1. Grant permissions for external host:
- Open the httpd.conf file under wamp/apache/apache.X.X.XX/conf/
- Change 'Require Local' to 'Require all granted', or if the line 'Require local' is not there, add the line 'Require all granted'
- Mainly inside the tags <Files ".ht*">, <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/cgi-bin">
- Then open the file httpd-vhosts.conf under wamp/apache/apache.X.X.XX/conf/extra/
- Change 'Require Local' to 'Require all granted', or if the line 'Require local' is not there, add the line 'Require all granted'
- Mainly inside the tag <Directory> </Directory>
2. Enable server-status for Apache server monitoring:
- To enable the server-status URL for monitoring the Apache server, refer to the Knowledge Base (KB) article for detailed steps.
3. Restart WAMP server:
- Now save all the conf files and restart the WAMP Server.
Now try accessing the http://Host:Port/server-status?auto URL from the machine where Applications Manager is running. If this is accessible in the browser and the proxy settings configured in the browser and the Applications Manager are same, then you can add the Apache Server for monitoring. Please refer this link for further help regarding monitoring Apache Server and this link for troubleshooting.
