Manual Step: Configure the external web server

The Modify Site URLs for SEO option in the Configuration Wizard includes manual steps. For reference only, we can see the details of the manual step for configuring an external web server. To view this step in the Configuration Wizard, select Yes to using an external web server when we provide information about the environment.

1. Standalone server setup with web server

   1. Copy the following script from plugin_root/bin of the web server to the wp_profile_root/bin directory on the HCL application server:
      ./configurewebservername.sh

   2. Run...
      cd wp_profile_root/bin
      ./configurewebservername.sh

   3. Regenerate the web server plug-in in WebSphere Application Server. For a remote web server, copy the generated plugin-cfg.xml file to the remote server.

      Note: Do not complete these steps if we are changing only the WSRP Producer context home value.

   4. Restart the web server.

Cluster setup with web server

1. Copy the following script from plugin_root/bin of the web server to dmgr_profile/bin on the Deployment Manager server:
   ./configurewebservername.sh

   where webservername is the web server definition name defined previously when we configured the HTTP Server for HCL, for example: configurewebserver1.bat.

2. From the Dmgr server run:
   ./configurewebservername.sh

3. Regenerate the web server plug-in in WebSphere Application Server. For a remote web server, copy the generated plugin-cfg.xml file to the remote server.

   Note: Do not complete these steps if we are changing only the WSRP Producer context home value.

4. Restart the web server.
