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:

  • For some reason the virtual host does not contain the usual entry for port 9080

To discover or edit the transport port number for a given application server, and then create an alias corresponding to the port number:

  1. View or edit the transport properties . Note the value in the field named Port or Transport Port, such as 9082.
  2. Configure the virtual host to contain an alias for the port number, such as *:9082, if 9082 is port number in use by transport.
  3. 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.
