Testing the WebSphere Application Server

To test the WebSphere Application Server:

  1. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server (default name is server1) is started as explained in Starting WebSphere.

  2. Ensure that the IBM HTTP Server is started.

  3. Start a web browser.

  4. Enter this URL to test the WebSphere Administration Console:

    http://<machine_name>:<http_port>/snoop

    where machine_name is the name of the server where you installed IBM HTTP Server, and

    where http_port is the port of your IBM HTTP Server. The default value is 80.

    For example:

    http://localhost:80/snoop

    Tip: If your Web Server is not on the same machine as WebSphere, you might need to copy the plug-in configuration file from the WebSphere machine to the Web Server machine.
