    1. Apache
    2. Netscape / iPlanet
    3. Zeus
    4. Cancel user-specified Web server configuration.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Which Web server type do you want to configure? [1] 1

    BEFORE REPLYING TO THE NEXT QUESTION, DO THE FOLLOWING STEPS FROM ANOTHER SERVER CONSOLE:
    a) check if your version of H-Sphere Apache server is different from the suported bundle version
    # /hsphere/shared/apache/bin/httpd -v
    b) if it is, do two additional steps:
    #mkdir -p /hsphere/shared/casp/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.{corresponding_number}/eapi
    #cp /hsphere/shared/casp/module/linux2_optimized/apache_{number_of_bundle_vesion}/mod_casp2.so \
    /hsphere/shared/casp/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.{corresponding_number}/eapi

    c) return to the installation console.

    NOTE: Regardless of this fact, you may be able to build your own module that supports this version of Apache. Refer to Sun Chili!Soft ASP documentation for information on building your own module. After the module has been built, proceed to the following steps:
    (1) # mkdir -p /hsphere/shared/casp/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.23/eapi
    (2)# cp <generated build dir>/mod_casp2.so /hsphere/shared/casp/module/linux2_optimized/apache_1.3.23/eapi
    (3) Re-run the the installer by executing the following script:
    HASH(0x81b9b84)-{asphome}/INSTALL/install

    After placing the file into the created module directory, the installer will recognize it as a supported Web server and act accordingly.

    Step IX.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sun Chili!Soft ASP - Apache Configuration
