# Apache and Load Balancer Plugin

This section describes known Apache Web server and load balancer plugin issues and associated solutions.

Bug ID | Summary
--- | ---
6306784 | The High-Availability Administration Guide contains incorrect instructions for using `openssl` with Apache. Solution When compiling and building `openssl`, run the following commands: `cd openssl-0.9.7e` `config` `make` Also, for Apache 1.3, the directory name of the `mod_ssl` source will vary depending upon the release of Apache used. For example, for Apache 1.3.33, the name is `mod_ssl-2.8.22-1.3.33`.
6307976 | The High-Availability Administration Guide does not contain instructions for using a certificate for Apache 2.0. Solution To run Apache security, you must use a certificate. For instructions on obtaining a certificate from a certificate authority, see the information on certificates in the modssl FAQ.
6308021 | Must start Apache Web Server as root. Solution On Solaris, if your Application Server was installed under root, you must start the Apache Web Server as root. Java Enterprise System installations are installed as root. For Apache 2.0, after starting as root, Apache switches and runs as another user you designate. You designate that user in the `/conf/httpd.conf` file. To start as root, on many systems you must edit the `httpd.conf` file to designate the correct group. Replace the line: `Group #-1` with `Group nobody` More information on user/group use is included in the `httpd.conf` file.
6308043 | Addition to instructions for using `openssl` with Apache Web Server 2.0 on Solaris. After installing Apache 2.0 and the load balancer plug-in, edit `ssl.conf` and `sll-std.conf` as follows: Replace the line: `<VirtualHost _default_:9191>` with `<VirtualHost machine_name:9191>` Where machine_name is the name of your machine and `9191` is a security port number.
