You can create a Web server definition in the administrative console when the Web server and the Web server plug-in for WebSphere® Application Server are on the same machine and the application server is on a different machine. This allows you to run an application server on one platform and a web server on another platform.
With a remote Web server installation, WebSphere Application Server can facilitate plug-in administration functions and generation and propagation of the plugin-cfg.xml file for IBM® HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server, but not for other Web servers.
Web servers that are not IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server must reside on the same machine as the WebSphere Application Server (as a managed node) to facilitate plug-in administration functions and generation and propagation of the plugin-cfg.xml file.
The following steps will create a Web server definition in the default profile. This procedure does not apply when setting up a remote Web server for an i5/OS® Web server. For information about setting up an i5/OS Web server, see the topic entitled Selecting a Web server topology diagram and roadmap.
Other non-IBM HTTP Server Web servers have different methods to specify the location of the plugin-cfg.xml file for the plug-in module. However, in order for propagation to work, update the location to reflect the location in the application server node repository.
