This topic describes installing a Web server plug-in that WebSphere Application Server provides to communicate with a particular brand of Web server. This procedure describes installing multiple Web servers and their Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server on one machine and multiple application servers on another machine.
Before you begin
Why and when to perform this task
Perform the following procedure to install the plug-ins and configure both Web servers and both application servers.
This topology lets each profile have unique applications, configuration settings, data, and log files, while sharing the same set of system files. Creating multiple profiles creates multiple application server environments that you can then dedicate to different purposes.
For example, each application server on a Web site can serve a different application. In another example, each application server can be a separate test environment that you assign to a programmer or a development team.
A deployment manager by itself is also considered a remote scenario if the deployment manager has no managed nodes. Although multiple application servers are not shown in the preceding diagram, Machine B could have more than one application server profile.
Steps for this task
The script that the Plug-ins installation wizard creates works on the default profile only. So, this script can create only a Web server definition on the profile that is the default profile at the time that the script runs.
Result
This procedure results in installing two or more application servers on one machine and installing dedicated Web servers on another machine. This procedure installs the Web server plug-ins for both Web servers and configures both Web servers and both application servers.
What to do next
See Selecting a Web server topology diagram and roadmap for an overview of the installation procedure.
See Web server configuration for more information about the files involved in configuring a Web server.
See Editing Web server configuration files for information about how the Plug-ins installation wizard configures supported Web servers.
