Editing Web server configuration files

Edit Web server configuration files to configure a Web server.

Before you begin

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] The Plug-ins installation wizard automatically configures supported Web servers during the installation of the binary plug-in modules. Use this topic to understand how the wizard configures the Web server configuration files.

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] If you must change a configuration for some reason, you can run the Plug-ins installation wizard again to reconfigure the Web server, or you can edit the files. The recommended approach is to always use the Plug-ins installation wizard to configure the Web server configuration file. However, sometimes you must edit the files. An example is when you are installing a Web server definition for a non-default profile.

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] To support a non-default profile, edit the configuration to point the Web server to the correct location of the plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml). In this case, you would change the profile path from the default profile to the secondary profile.

[i5/OS] Use the IBM Web Administration for iSeries to configure i5/OS Web servers to communicate with a WebSphere Application Server. Doing so automatically updates the Web server configuration files as needed. See Creating and configuring an HTTP server instance for more information.

[i5/OS] If you must change a configuration for some reason, you can use the IBM Web Administration for iSeries to reconfigure the Web server, or you can edit the files. The recommended approach is to always use the IBM Web Administration for iSeries to configure the Web server configuration file. However, sometimes you must edit the files.
