Author Issues with Websphere Plugins as Non root User
BJ Brooks

Initially ran into an issue in which the user I had created to
start/stop/config the IHS was unable to start or stop IHS... I found that
the issue was in fact with the Websphere plugins referenced in the
httpd.conf file. If the following lines are commented out, IHS comes up
w/out a hitch.

LoadModule ibm_app_server_http_module
/usr/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/mod_ibm_app_server_http.so
WebSpherePluginConfig /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml

If those two lines are left in, however, the IHS is not able to start(only
root is able to start it) and find the following error in the error_log
file..

[Wed Sep 24 16:44:05 2003] [notice] Initializing the WebSphere Plugin
Assertion failed: 0, file
/blddir/ASV/ws/code/plugins.http/src/common/esi/esiLock.c, line 35


The non root user that is attempting to start the IHS is the owner of all
related files in /usr/IBMHttpserver and /usr/Websphere, which is where the
plugin-cfg.xml is referenced... any ideas?

Set the servertokens to prod. This will only display IBM HTTP Server

Check the permissions on the plugin-cfg.xml file and the
mod_ibm_app_server_http.so files. Chances are that other users don't
have access to execute the module. Try changing the file permissions
to add x to all other users.


Current:
-rw-r--r-- 1 user wasgrp 442989 Nov 04 23:16
mod_ibm_app_server_http.so


New:
-rw-r--r-x 1 user wasgrp 442989 Nov 04 23:16
mod_ibm_app_server_http.so


Command:
chmod 645 mod_ibm_app_server_http.so


Let me know if that works. We also had a problem that non-root users
can start HTTP servers because it binds to port 80. But if it starts
without the plugin lines then that probably isn't your problem.
