  3. Open the httpd.conf file for editing.

  4. Add a line for a Listen directive for the external port selected above. For example: Listen 81

  5. Locate the entry in the httpd.conf file with the path to the plugin-cfg.xml file. Verify that the path points to the location of the file generated above. If not, change the path to match the file location.

    WebSpherePluginConfig "/u01/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/wps7httpserver/plugin-cfg.xml"

  6. Restart both the Web server (i.e webserver81) and the WebSphere_Portal servers.
