6.6.16: Administering virtual hosts (overview)
To define a virtual host, the administrator specifies information
such as:
- An administrative name for the virtual host
- One or more domain name aliases for the virtual host
- Mime types and extensions to recognize
- Whether this is the default virtual host
Ensuring there is a virtual host alias for each HTTP transport port
There must be a virtual host alias corresponding to each port
being used by an HTTP transport. There is one HTTP transport in each
Web container, with one Web container in each application server.
The following procedure describes how to find out (or set) the
port for the HTTP transport, then create a corresponding virtual host
alias. You will need to do so in the following cases:
- You are using the internal HTTP transport (described in
the transport administration overview) with a port
other than the default of 9080, or for some reason the virtual host does not
contain the usual entry for port 9080
- You have created multiple application servers (either standalone, or might have
created a server group) that are using the same
virtual host. Because each server must be listening on a different
HTTP transport port, you need a virtual host alias for each one's transport port.
To discover or edit the transport port number for a given application server,
and then create an alias corresponding to the port number:
- View or edit the transport properties . Note the value in the field
named Port or Transport Port, such as 9082.
- Configure the virtual host to contain
an alias for the port number, such as *:9082, if
9082 is port number in use by transport.
- When you enter the URL for the application into a Web browser, include
the port number in the URL, such as:
http://localhost:9082/wlm/SimpleServlet
using the port number from the previous step.
