About this task
After you define a Web server definition in the WebSphere repository to represent the installed IBM HTTP
Server, an administrator can administer and configure IBM HTTP
Server through the WebSphere Application Server
administrative console. IBM HTTP Server cannot be remotely
managed by the IBM HTTP Server administration server when IBM HTTP
Server is started under a non-root user ID.
Administration includes
the ability to start and stop the IBM HTTP
Server. You can display and edit the IBM HTTP
Server configuration file, and you can view the IBM HTTP
Server error and access logs. The plug-in configuration file can be
generated for IBM HTTP Server and propagated to the remote,
or locally-installed, IBM HTTP Server.
Note: Administration and configuration using the WebSphere Application Server administrative
console is available if IBM HTTP Server is on a managed
node only. The node agent must be present to perform administration
because there is no support for the IBM HTTP
Server administration server.
