Introduction

Steps describing installation , configuration of weblogic server proxy plugin with MS IIS  Server 7.x
 

Installation

1.  Download, Install & start Weblogic server 12.2.x 

Refer below site

https://oracle-base.com/articles/12c/weblogic-installation-on-oracle-linux-6-and-7-1221

2.  Download Web server plugins 11g from Oracle site. 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/wls-plugins-096117.html

3. Install IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 Server

Refer link below 

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725762(v=ws.11).aspx

Ensure to have WWW service started from services.msc

Video link to install IIS 7 Server

Video to verify the IIS Server 

Configuration Steps

  Create a file and name it as iisproxy.ini with the below content 

WebLogicHost=URL_of_WebLogic_Host 

WebLogicPort=WebLogic_Port 

Debug=ALL 

DebugConfigInfo=ON 

WLLogFile=C:\Temp\wl-proxy.log

Configure the weblogic host & port number in the above file. 

 Copy the whole contents of the downloaded plugin to below folder location i.e under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisproxy

Set the path environment variable to below

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\iisproxy\lib

Open IIS Manager UI  

To open IIS Manager from the Search box 1. Click Start. 2. In the Start Search box, type inetmgr and press ENTER.

Click on the Sites and Create a new Website by name or can use the Default web site

Add an application right clicking on the new site  or Default site

Give the application name and the path till lib of your Plugin lib folder
Here we are configuring Weblogic Console . 

Enable Directory browsing for the site.

Now click on the Handler mapping and select the “Add Script Map”

Provide the request path (ex: console)

Provide the Executable Location (till iisproxy.dll

IIS 7 proxy plugin configuration is complete.

Access the console of weblogic via proxy server and test

Steps to integrate Weblogic Server with Apache Http Server 2.4.x using WLS Plugin

Introduction


Oracle Weblogic Server proxy plugin 12.2.x for Apache Http Server is supported on Apache 2.2 & 2.4 web servers


Environment Details
OS : Red hat linux 3.10.x   x86_64 Architecture
WLS Version : 12.2.1.2
Apache Server version : 2.4.6.x
Plugin Version : 12.2.x


Steps  are below  to integrate  Weblogic Server 12.2.1.2 with Apache Http Server 2.4.x using WLS Plugin 12c


1. Install Weblogic Server 12c (latest 12.2.1.2.0)

Refer below site

https://oracle-base.com/articles/12c/weblogic-installation-on-oracle-linux-6-and-7-1221

2 . Download and Install Apache HTTP Server (2.4.x)
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi


Installation Guide
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html


OR
To use yum rpm installer on Linux , following this link from Redhat

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Confined_Services/chap-Managing_Confined_Services-The_Apache_HTTP_Server.html


Refer link below to Install http service on Linux and starting & stopping service. Refer this below doc

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-install-and-start-apache-httpd/


Sample commands

service httpd start
service httpd stop
service httpd restart
service httpd status

Run below command to verify if Apache Http Server is already installed

$ rpm -q httpd

Sample output : httpd-2.4.6-45.el7_3.4.x86_64


3. Download latest plugins of Apache Http Server for WLS 12c  from below site for your OS Version
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webtier/downloads/index-jsp-156711.html


4.  Extract the plug-ins zip distribution to PLUGIN_HOME
and move the below .so file



mod_wl_xx*.so to ..%apache_home%/modules directory


5.  Set/Export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH to extracted ${PLUGIN_HOME}/lib folder..


For eg

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../weblogic-plugins-12.2.1/lib


6. Modify the httpd.conf file located under 
/etc/httpd/conf   or Apache_home/conf folder

Add the below snippet to the end of the file

LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_24.so

<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
  WebLogicHost 127.0.0.1
 WebLogicPort 7001
 #MatchExpression *.jsp
 MatchExpression /*
 DebugConfigInfo ON
</IfModule>


 Note: Backup httpd.conf file
##Line LoadModule loading  mod_wl_24.so  for Apache web server 2.4.x

For 2.2.xversion , use below line 

LoadModule weblogic_module /home/myhome/weblogic-plugins-12.2.1/lib/mod_
wl.so 

7. Restart Http Server and Weblogic Server

8. Hit the weblogic console using the link below to test
http://localhost/console



Misc




If you choose to not use the <IfModule>, you can instead directly place the WebLogic
properties inside Location or <VirtualHost> blocks.
Consider the following examples of the <Location> and <VirtualHost> blocks:
<Location /weblogic>
WLSRequest On
WebLogicHost myweblogic.server.com
WebLogicPort 7001
</Location>
<Location /weblogic>
WLSRequest On
WebLogicCluster w1s1.com:7001,w1s2.com:7001,w1s3.com:7001
</Location>
<VirtualHost apachehost:80>
WLSRequest On
WebLogicServer weblogic.server.com
WebLogicPort 7001
</VirtualHost>
