You can use the WebSphere Application Server administrative
console to start and stop IBM HTTP Server.
About this task
You can administer IBM HTTP Server through
the WebSphere Application Server administrative console using the
WebSphere Application Server node agent or using the the IBM HTTP
Server administration server. An IBM HTTP Server that is defined
to a deployment manager (dmgr) managed node is administered using
the node agent. An IBM HTTP Server that is defined to an unmanaged
node is administered using the administration server.
Important: You must start the IBM HTTP Server
administration server with the same Userid used to start IBM HTTP
Server. Starting both IBM HTTP Server and the IBM HTTP Server administration
server as root allows them to drop privileges at runtime processing;
this is the recommended configuration.
In addition, the Userid used
to start the IBM HTTP Server administration server must
be the same as defined on the
Admin.conf directive:
- User <admin>
- Group <admgoup>
