Host alias settings

Use this page to view and configure a host alias.

To view this administrative console page, click Environment > Virtual hosts > virtual_host_name > Host aliases > host_alias_name.

Host name

Specifies the IP address, domain name system (DNS) host name with domain name suffix, or the DNS host name that clients use to request a Web application resource, such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page.

For example, when the DNS name is myhost, the host alias is myhost:8080, where 8080 is the port. A URL request can refer to the snoop servlet on the host alias as: http://myhost:8080/servlet/snoop.

When there is no port number specified for a host alias, the default port is 80. For existing virtual hosts, the default host name and port reflect the values specified at product installation or configuration. For new virtual hosts, the default can be * to allow any value or no specification.

Data type String
Default *

You can also use the IP address or the long or short DNS name.

Port

Specifies the port where the Web server accepts client requests. Specify a port value in conjunction with the host name.

Specifies the port where the virtual host accepts Web client requests. The port number that you specify must be a unique in conjunction with the host name to avoid conflicts with other virtual hosts. The port number default is port 80, which is the default Web server port. You can assign another port number if you want to use the internal HTTP transport capability of the application server, or to use another port that you have designated as the Web server port. For example, you can create a new virtual host and assign port 9085 to that virtual host if you want to serve application resources over the internal HTTP transport of the application server that uses port 9085.

Data type Integer
Default 80
