Creating a Webserver Definition

When WebSphere Application Server was initially installed, a webserver definition was created for the WebSphere Application Server profile, known as the default profile. The installation of the WebSphere Portal Server creates a new profile, wp_profile. This profile is a non-default profile. Non-default profiles do not have web server definitions or plugin files created for them at the time of install. To use an external http server with portal, a second webserver definition and its corresponding plugin-cfg.xml file must be created manually for the wp_profile.

To create the new definition:

  1. Log in to the server1 admin console of the wp_profile, Navigate to servers, webservers, and then click New.
