Configure IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache

Description

In z/OS® V2R1 and earlier versions, the Infoprint Central component of Infoprint Sever was designed to work only with the IBM® HTTP Server powered by Domino®. In z/OS V2R2, IBM removed support for IBM HTTP Server powered by Domino and only IBM HTTP Server - Powered by Apache, a base element of z/OS V2R2, is supported. You must now use the IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache 31-bit.
