Creating a New HTTP Server Configuration

WebSphere Application Server plugs into IBM HTTP Server for IBM i. The IBM HTTP Server routes certain client requests (such as for a servlet or JSP file) to WebSphere for processing. You must create a new HTTP server configuration that contains the information that IBM HTTP Server needs to route requests to the appropriate WebSphere Application Server methods.

You can create a new IBM HTTP Server configuration by opening the Configuration and Administration forms.

To create a new HTTP Server configuration:

  1. Start your JavaScript-enabled browser.

  2. In the URL location or address window, enter this url:

    http://<server_name>:2001/HTTPAdmin

    where <server_name> is the host name of your IBM i web server machine.

  3. Press Enter.

  4. You are prompted for an IBM i user ID and password.

    You should enter an IBM i user ID that has *ALLOBJ and *IOSYSCFG authority.

    The IBM i Web administration page appears as shown in the sample screen below.
