Hello Adnan,
I am not sure why you have installed apache in the first place: the Gateway does not require any webserver on that same machine, Apache or NGINX.
I am assume that you using the Apache as an ingress point for port translation (80-8080 and 443-8443). If so, there is a better way, via the IPTables: the firewall of Redhat
Anyway, the Gateway is a standalone product and does not care about the version of applications that connect via protocols such as http or https: it just cares that the protocols are respected. So , in that light, you can put any version of any webserver in front of it.
Just one word of caution, Layer7 Support (of which I formerly was part of and agree on) suggests to NOT install any additional software on the machine that has the Gateway to minimise any performance impact that the third party app could have.
Another word of caution, Version 10.0.00 of the gateway came out which means that version 9.0 is one step away from not being supported anymore, make sure you upgrade your Gateway version to at least 9.4.
ALSO, the redhat version you are using is end-of-life for RedHat.
What are you using? the VM version of the gateway?
I hope all this helps,

Subject: layer 7 version 9.0.01 and Apache 2.4.x
Hi Folks,
Currently we have our Layer7 Api Gateway version 9.0.01 running on Linux RHLE 6.8 and Apache 2.2.
For business reasons we are asked to upgrade to Apache 2.4 and would like to know if this will negatively impact Layer7 operation.
If no concerns, I appreciate guiding me to a document which show any Apache Settings I need to keep close watch on to ensure Layer7 functionality remains intact.
Stay well & Safe!
