When you install Web Proxy Server, two server instances are installed by default: a Web Proxy Server Admin Server instance and a Web Proxy Server instance.

  1. On the command line, start the Web Proxy Admin Server by changing to WebProxyServer-base/proxy-admserv:

    • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-admserv/start

    • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-admserv/start

  2. On the command line, start the Web Proxy Server instance by changing to the WebProxyServer-base/proxy-hostname.domainname:

    • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-server1/start

    • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-server1/start

  3. Verify that the Web Proxy Server processes are running. For example:


    /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep proxy

ProcedureTo Start the Socks Server

  1. From the command line, go to WebProxyServer_base/proxy-serverid.

  2. Start the Socks Server:


    ./start-sockd
  3. Verify that the Socks Server processes are running.

    For example:


    /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep sockd

ProcedureTo Access the Administration Server Graphical Interface

    http://host1.example.com:8888

    Your login confirms successful installation.
