Setting up the Provisioning Service

To set up the provisioning service for products fulfilled internally through URL requests, complete the following steps:

1. In a previously created virtual environment (RHEL8 container or VM), install the httpd service:
   

   # yum install -y httpd php php-json

2. Create a working directory:
   

   # mkdir /opt/app-plm

3. Copy source files (create.php and so on) into this working directory.

4. Update the httpd configuration file by pointing the document root to the working directory:
   

   # sed -E -i -e 's%DocumentRoot .*$%DocumentRoot \"/opt/app-plm\"%' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

5. Set httpd to use the prefork module:
   

   # echo "LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so" > /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf

6. Create the httpd configuration entry for the working directory. That is, put the configuration file into the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory.
   

   The directory configuration example is:
   

   Copy

   <Directory "/opt/app-plm">
       Options Indexes MultiViews
       AllowOverride All
       Require all granted
   </Directory>

7. Start httpd:
   

   # systemctl start httpd
