Can anyone help me to troubleshoot the error below I am having on my http servers due to which users unable to connect to application through http server,
Maximo 5.2
Webshpehere 5.1
Cluster environment
Doc link path is valid and ok.
Receive the error below when starting http service
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>>
<Directory "//lnaafs10.na.lafarge.net/max_doclink$"> path is invalid."
ERROR: ws_config_parser: configParserParse: Failed to parse the config file
D:\Programs\WebSphere\DeploymentManager\config/cells/plugin-
GSK_ERROR_BAD_CERT error
Paths with $ signs are usually hidden shares... and may not parse well...
Have you tried removing the entry from your doclinks.properties file to see if the server will start??
Can you send a copy of your doclinks.properties file?

Do you or anyone know if there is a way I can disable the certificate
validation on http server so that I can avoid receiving certificate
expiry message and service could be started with no issues.
Based on the error messages and log information, it appears to suggest that
we have expired security certificates in the environment.
Unfortunately, we (IBM and us) haven't been able to figure out how to
deal with that problem given the legacy versions of the Maximo and
Webspehere.
Thanks for the reply Will, I can try to modify the doclink.properties and see if that helps, I have placed a workaround for doclink access but main problem is starting of http server services that we need to fix.
Maximo 5.2
Webshpehere 5.1
Cluster environment
any help would be appreciated.

addition to last email i just sent,
I am looking the possibility on how we can disable the use of SSL (use of security certificates) in this environment as a means to restore services quickly.

It’s actually kind of spelled out :)
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzatz%2F51%2Fsec%2Fsecjsswa.htm
Follow the steps but with your current configuration (don’t change anything until you get to this part and just Uncheck instead of Check:
[cid:image001.png@01CE8D18.DF15EA50]
(step 15 in case the snapshot doesn’t come through)
On step 4 you may want to change to a different port for non SSL access …
You could even create a whole new port for non SSL and enable / disable it as necessary to support your needs.

I think you would need a websphere expert who would configure WebSphere in a way to bypass the validation process of SSL
That is only if WebSphere and IBM HTTP Server are interlink with each other.
