230 Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide
12.1 Post migration steps for IBM HTTP Server
After migrating WebSphere Commerce, there are still some steps that require to
be done manually. These steps will vary from one environment to another
depending if it is a single or a multi-node environment.
12.1.1 Migrating static content
The static HTML content must be moved over manually. This is done simply by
copying all the content from the HTTP document root on WebSphere Commerce
Suite V5.1 system to the HTTP document root on WebSphere Commerce V5.6
system. In our example we had our document root set to:
d:\static_http
This directory was copied from WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 system to
WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system.
12.1.2 Updating configuration
The WCIM tool will migrate the IBM HTTP Server configuration automatically, if
IBM HTTP Server is on WebSphere Commerce V5.6 system, installed locally on
the same node. All customized configuration in the configuration file (httpd.conf)
will be migrated, assuming that no customized configuration exists in the blocks
tagged as shown in Example 12-1.
Note: This should be enough as the document root will already be set to the
correct directory (IBM HTTP Server settings are preserved, see Updating
configuration)
If the document root is not set, it can be set in the manually in the IBM HTTP
Server configuration file. The configuration of the IBM HTTP Server is stored
in:
<ihs_home>\conf\httpd.conf
in our example:
D:\WebSphere\IBMHttpServer\conf\httpd.conf
The document root is added as described below:
DocumentRoot "d:/static_http/content/htdocs"
The IBM HTTP Server needs to be restarted in order for the changes to take
effect.
