This topic contains troubleshooting information if you
receive an error when attempting to connect to the administration
server.
If you get the following error:
"Could not connect to IHS Administration server error"
when
you are managing an IBM® HTTP Server using the WebSphere® administrative console, try one
of the following:
- Verify that the IBM HTTP Server administration server
is running.
- Verify that the Web server hostname and port that is defined in
the WebSphere administrative console matches
the IBM HTTP Server administration host name and
port.
- Verify that the firewall is not preventing you from accessing
the IBM HTTP Server administration server from the WebSphere administrative console.
- Verify that the user ID and password that is specified in the WebSphere administrative console, under
remote managed, is created in the admin.passwd file,
using the htpasswd command.
- If trying to connect securely, verify that you export the IBM HTTP
Server administration server keydb personal certificate into the WebSphere key database as a signer certificate.
This key database will be specified by the com.ibm.ssl.trustStore in
the sas.client.props file in the profile your
console is running in. This is mainly for self-signed certificates.
- If you still have problems, check the IBM HTTP
Server admin_error.log file and the WebSphere Application Server logs (trace.log)
to see if problem can be determined.
