Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP10 Getting Started Guide

Administering ASPs

When you install Sun Java System Active Server Pages, you can choose to configure it against any of the Web server instances that the Active Server Pages installer automatically detects. The Active Server Pages installer configures a URL to connect from a browser. For example; http://plaza:5100

To administer Sun Java System Active Server Pages, type the specified URL in a browser window.
