Creating a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain

Creating a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain is an essential step in setting up and configuring your PeopleSoft environment. A Web Server Domain acts as a bridge between the web server and the application server, allowing users to access PeopleSoft applications through a web browser. In this tutorial, we will explore the step-by-step process of creating a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain.

Prerequisites:
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:

1. PeopleSoft Installation
Make sure you have installed and configured your PeopleSoft application on the application server.

2. Web Server Installation
Ensure that you have a web server installed and properly configured on your system. Commonly used web servers for PeopleSoft include Apache HTTP Server or Oracle HTTP Server.

3. Configuration Files
Have access to the necessary configuration files for both your web server and application server. These files include httpd.conf for Apache or httpd.conf file for Oracle HTTP Server, psappsrv.cfg, psprcs.cfg, etc.

Now let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain:

Step 1: Locate Configuration Files

The first step is to locate the configuration files for your web server and application server. These files are typically located in different directories depending on the installation and operating system used.

For Apache HTTP Server:
– The main configuration file (httpd.conf) is usually located in /etc/httpd/conf or /etc/apache2.
– The virtual host configuration file (httpd-vhosts.conf) can be found in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or /etc/apache2/sites-available/.

For Oracle HTTP Server:
– The main configuration file (httpd.conf) is typically located at $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf.conf) can be found at $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/extra.

Step 2: Configure Web Server

Once you have located the configuration files, it’s time to configure the web server to enable the PeopleSoft Web Server Domain.

For Apache HTTP Server:
1. Open the httpd.conf file using a text editor.

2. Search for the “LoadModule” section and ensure that the following modules are enabled:
– mod_ps_dms
– mod_rewrite
– mod_proxy
– mod_proxy_http
3. Locate the “VirtualHost” section and add the following lines:

“`xml

ServerName your_domain_name
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/document/root


ProxyPass ajp://your_app_server_host:your_app_server_port/psp
ProxyPassReverse ajp://your_app_server_host:your_app_server_port/psp


ProxyPass ajp://your_app_server_host:your_app_server_port/psc
ProxyPassReverse ajp://your_app_server_host:your_app_server_port/psc


“`

4. Save the changes to httpd.conf and restart Apache HTTP Server.

For Oracle HTTP Server:
1. Open httpd.conf using a text editor. Search for “LoadModule” section and ensure that the following modules are enabled:
– PsExeHandler .exe
– PsExeHandler .dll

3. Locate “IfModule alias_module” section and add the following lines:

“`xml

SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster your_weblogic_cluster_url_or_IP:your_weblogic_cluster_port


SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster your_weblogic_cluster_url_or_IP:your_weblogic_cluster_port

“`

4.conf and restart Oracle HTTP Server.

Step 3: Test the Configuration

Now that you have configured the web server, it’s time to test the configuration and ensure that the PeopleSoft Web Server Domain is working correctly.

1. Open a web browser and enter the URL of your PeopleSoft application. For example, http://your_domain_name/psp/.

2. If everything is configured correctly, you should be able to access the PeopleSoft login page.

  • If you encounter any errors or issues, double-check your configuration files for any typos or missing steps.
  • Verify that your application server is up and running.
  • Check the logs of both your web server and application server for any error messages.

Conclusion

Creating a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain is a crucial step in setting up your PeopleSoft environment for web access. By following this tutorial, you have learned how to locate the necessary configuration files and configure your web server to enable seamless integration with the application server. Remember to double-check your configurations and test them thoroughly to ensure a smooth user experience.

Now that you have successfully created a PeopleSoft Web Server Domain, you can start accessing your PeopleSoft applications through a web browser. Happy configuring!
