{Installation Path}/wlserver_10.3.5/server/plugin/solaris/sparc/mod_wl_20.so

{Installation Path}/wlserver_10.3.5/server/plugin/solaris/sparc/mod_wl_22.so

{Installation Path}/wlserver_10.3.5/server/plugin/linux/x86_64/mod_wl_20.so

{Installation Path}/wlserver_10.3.5/server/plugin/linux/x86_64/mod_wl_22.so

Note: Plugin is operating system specific so we  should use the Apache webserver  operating system specific plugin.

Steps to integrate Weblogic application server with Apache

• Load the weblogic_module as below in httpd.conf file.

            LoadModule weblogic_module /modules/mod_wl_20.so

• Add the below configuration tags in httpd.conf file.

  <Location /weblogic_app >

SetHandler weblogic-handler

WLLogFile /apache/2.0.55/logs/wlproxy.log

WLProxySSL ON

WebLogicCluster weblogic-server1.com:7009,weblogic-server2.com:7009

 </Location>

Note: If Virtual hosts has configured , place the above configuration in virtual host tag 

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80

Listen 8080

# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses

NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>

ServerName www.weblogic.com

  <Location /weblogic_app >

SetHandler weblogic-handler

WLLogFile /apache/2.0.55/logs/wlproxy.log

WLProxySSL ON

WebLogicCluster weblogic-server1.com:7009,weblogic-server2.com:7009

 </Location>

</VirtualHost>

• Restart the Apache server to reflect the changes

Note: The above configuration is for weblogic clustered servers. If we have more managed servers in a weblogic cluster use the configuration as below 

WebLogicCluster weblogic-server1.com:7009,weblogic-server2.com:7009,weblogic-server3.com:7009,weblogic-server4.com:7009

<Location /weblogic_app >

SetHandler weblogic-handler

WLLogFile /apache/2.0.55/logs/wlproxy.log

WLProxySSL ON

WebLogicCluster weblogic-server1.com:7009,weblogic-                                                                         server2.com:7009,weblogic-server3.com:7009,weblogic-server4.com:7009

 </Location>

• If we want to integrate  the standalone or single weblogic server instance use the below configuration.

  <Location /Single_weblogic_app>

SetHandler weblogic-handler

WebLogicHost weblogic-single_app.com

WebLogicPort 7009

 </Location>
