WebSphere: Configuring a Web server and an application server profile on the same machine

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing How to configure a Web Server with the stand alone application server profile on the same machine in WebSphere

 

Procedure:

1.      Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment on the machine.

2.      Install the IBM HTTP Server or another supported Web server on the machine.

3.      Stop the standalone application server before installing the Web server plug-ins. For example, assuming that the profile name is default, use one of the following commands.

a.       LINUX: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/ profiles/default/bin/stopServer.sh server1

b.      WINDOWS: C: Program Files\ IBM\WebSphere\ AppServer\profiles\ default\bin\stopServer.sh server1

4.      Launch the Plug-ins installation wizard on the machine.

5.      Start the Snoop servlet to verify the ability of the Web server to retrieve an application from the Application Server.

a.       Test your environment by starting your Application Server, your Web server, and using the snoop servlet with an IP address.

6.      Point your browser to http://localhost:9080/snoop to test the internal HTTP transport provided by the Application Server. Point your browser to http://Host_name_of_Web_server_machine/snoop to test the Web server plug-in.

The HTTP Transport port is 9080 by default and must be unique for every profile. The port is associated with a virtual host named default_host, which is configured to host the installed DefaultApplication and any installed Samples. The snoop servlet is part of the DefaultApplication. Change the port to match your actual HTTP Transport port.
