Preparing the Clickstream Collection Server

You must install and configure the clickstream collection server that collects the output from the tags and writes that output to a page tagging log.
Note: The Apache Software Foundation provides an open source Web server called Apache HTTP Server. This Web server is used as the clickstream collection server in a page tagging environment. A working Apache HTTP Server (with or without SSL enabled) is a prerequisite to setting up this environment. Once this prerequisite is met, install the SAS Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data Mid-Tier software onto each Apache HTTP Server that you intend to use as a clickstream collection server.
CAUTION:
You must configure and test the security of this server consistent with the standards of your organization both before and after you install the SAS Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data Mid-Tier components.
These precautions are necessary to protect the server from malicious attacks. In many cases, this server is exposed on the public Internet.
