Mapping applications to IHS
Map Connections applications to IHS.
Complete this task if you installed and configured IBM HTTP Server before installing IBM Connections.
If we plan to configure a reverse proxy, see the Configure a reverse caching proxy topic.
If we installed and configured IBM HTTP Server after you have installed IBM Connections, the Connections applications are automatically mapped to the web server. However, if you installed and configured IBM HTTP Server before installing IBM Connections, we must manually map the applications.
To map the Connections applications to IHS, and regenerate the plugin:
- Open the WAS console on the system where you installed the dmgr.
- Select Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
- Map a Connections application to IHS:
This step instructs you to select webserver1. Ensure you have defined this web server before you attempt to complete these steps. See Define IBM HTTP Server.
- Select application > Manage Modules, where application is a Connections application.
- In the Clusters and Servers box, select the cluster, and server on which you installed the application. If necessary, use the Ctrl key to select both targets.
- Select the check boxes for all the modules and click Apply.
- Review the Server details and ensure that both servers are listed there. Click OK and then click Save.
- Repeat this step for each Connections application.
- From the WAS console, select Servers > Server Types > Web servers and then click the web server (webserver1).
- Click Generate Plug-in.
- Click the web server again and then click Propagate Plug-in.
If we have trouble propagating the plug-in on Linux, restart IBM HTTP Server s:
./adminctl start ./apachectl -k stop ./apachectl -k start
- Stop and restart the web server.
- Synchronize the nodes.
- Restart all IBM Connection clusters.
- Restart the dmgr.
What to do next
To verify the mappings are correct, complete the steps in the Verify application mappings topic.
Test the mappings: open a web browser and try to access each of the applications by specifying the web address using the following syntax:
http://hostname/application_name
where hostname is the host name of the web server to which you mapped the application, and application_name is the name of the application. Do not specify the port number.
