Configuring an HTTP server instance on IBM i

Configure your IBM® HTTP Server or Lotus Notes® Domino® HTTP Server to use either web server with WebSphere® Application Server for IBM i.

Before you begin

Decide which HTTP Server you want to use to serve requests to WebSphere Application Server.

The following web servers are supported on IBM i:
  • IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) (5761-DG1 or 5770-DG1)
  • Lotus® Domino 8 for System i® 8.0 (5733-LD8), versions 8.0.1 and 8.0.2
  • IBM Domino 8.5 for i (5733-L85)

The IBM HTTP Server (original) is not supported for WebSphere Application Server. However, you can use the IBM i IBM HTTP Server (Powered by Apache) with your application server. Or, you can configure a remote HTTP server residing on a supported platform to route requests to WebSphere Application Server running on the IBM i server. Review the "Selecting a web server topology diagram and roadmap" topic for guidance.

About this task

An HTTP server instance is not required to install or use WebSphere Application Server. However, it is recommended to support requests for servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) resources managed by WebSphere Application Server.
