WSO2 WSF/C with Apache HTTP server

Following section will show you how to use WSO2 Web services framework for C (WSF/C) with the Apache HTTP server in linux environment.
First download and install apache2 server. Please follow the instructions in INSTALL file.
Then download WSF/C and configure with the following option

%./configure --with-apache2=/path/to/apache2 --prefix=/your/wsfc_home/directory
%make
%make install

Once you do make install, this will create a libmod_axis2.so inside WSFC_HOME/lib. Copy this file to apache2/modules directory. Now please open the httpd.conf file inside conf directory. Add following entries to the file. These will be your configurations to the axis2/c web services engine.

LoadModule axis2_module modules/libmod_axis2.so
    Axis2RepoPath /your/path/to/wsf/c/home
    Axis2LogFile /tmp/apache_axis2.log
    Axis2LogLevel debug
    Axis2MaxLogFileSize 32
    <Location /axis2>
        SetHandler axis2_module
    </Location>

Done? Perfect. Let's start the server

%./httpd -k start

If the default port (i.e. 80) is in use try another port such as 8080. You can change the port in the conf/httpd.conf file

Listen 8080

Open s browser and enter the following address as the url

http://localhost:8080/axis2/services

If all goes well, this should show the deployed services. Usually these are samples comes with WSF/C.
