This topic provides information on how to change the type of Web
server.
About this task
If you install a Web server that is different from the one that is
currently installed, you can modify the Web server type from IBM® HTTP Server
to a non-IBM HTTP Server and vice versa, rather than delete the Web server
and create a new Web server definition. If you change the Web server type
from IBM HTTP
Server to non-IBM HTTP Server Web server, the administration capabilities
are lost accordingly.
Procedure
- From the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console,
click Servers > Server Types > Web servers.
- Select the server that you want to modify.
- On the Web server configuration panel, change your Web server by
selecting an option from the Type drop-down menu. If you are changing
from a non-IBM HTTP Server to an IBM HTTP Server, you are also prompted for
information such as IBM HTTP Server administration server port, user ID,
and IBM HTTP
Server administration server password.
A new Web server type
for WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS® exists:
HTTPSERVER_ZOS.
- Click Apply.
Results
You can verify your changes on the Web servers collection panel. The
Web server type displays in the Web Server Type column.
