Hi,

in the download of Dispatcher, the readme has extra steps for IBM HTTP Server, otherwise it should be the same steps as for Apache on which the IBM server is based. What specific issue are you having?

Hi,

There are simple steps to configure IBM HTTP Server with AEM Dispatcher. Make sure to download the correct versions based on your OS.

1. Download IBM HTTP Server from the link based on your OS and install it : https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/tnd/product.jsp?s=p&id=RBAR-5LER2T

2. Download Dispatcher from the URL : https://www.adobeaemcloud.com/content/companies/public/adobe/dispatcher/dispatcher.html, now copy the dispatcher.dll file and paste it in modules folder in the installed HTTP Server, i,e. "\IBM\HTTPServer\modules". Also copy dispatcher.any file under the path "\IBM\HTTPServer\conf".

3. You can configure - renders,rules to allow/deny paths, vanity urls , cache invalidate paths and others in dispatcher.any. Configure httpd.conf and change the server root paths, log files paths etc.

4. Start the serve in command prompt.

Let me know if you face any other issues.
