Map IBM® Connections
applications to IBM HTTP Server.
Before you begin
Complete this task only if you did not select to configure IBM HTTP Server during the installation IBM
Connections.
If you plan to configure a reverse proxy, see the Configuring a reverse caching proxy topic.
About this task
If
you installed and configured IBM HTTP
Server after you have installed IBM Connections,
your IBM Connections applications
are automatically mapped to the web server. However, if you installed
and configured IBM HTTP Server
before you installed IBM Connections,
you must manually map the applications.
To
map your IBM Connections applications
to IBM HTTP Server and regenerate
the plugin, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere® Application
Server Integrated Solutions Console on the system where you installed
the Deployment Manager.
- Select .
- Map an IBM Connections
application to IBM HTTP Server:
Note: This step instructs you to select webserver1. Ensure that
you have defined this web server before you attempt to complete these
steps. For more information, see the Defining IBM HTTP Server topic.
- Select the cluster on which the application was installed
and the web server that will be servicing the application.
- Select , where application is
an IBM Connections application.
- In the Clusters and Servers box,
select the cluster and server on which you installed the application.
If necessary, use the Ctrl key to select both targets.
- Select the check boxes for all the modules and click Apply.
- Review the Server details and ensure that both servers
are listed there. Click OK and then click Save.
- Repeat this step for each IBM Connections
application.
- From the WebSphere Application Server
Integrated Solutions Console, select and then click the web server (webserver1).
- Click Generate
Plug-in.
- Click
your web server again and then click Propagate Plug-in.
Note: If you have trouble propagating the plug-in on Linux™, restart IBM HTTP Server using the following commands:
./adminctl start
./apachectl -k stop
./apachectl -k start
- Stop and restart
the web server.
- Synchronize the nodes.
- Restart all IBM Connection
clusters.
- Restart the Deployment Manager.
What to do next
To verify that the
mappings are correct, complete the steps in the Verifying application mappings
topic.
Test the mappings: open
a web browser and try to access each of the applications by specifying
the web address using the following syntax:
http://hostname/application_name
where hostname is
the host name of the web server to which you mapped the application
and application_name is the name of the application.
Do not specify the port number.
