Overview

Install a supported Web server and WAS before installing the plug-in.

One way to install, using install media...

/cd_root/A-9/IHS/install.exe

Install the plugin

/cd_root/A-9/plugin/install.exe

You can also use the launchpad.exe utility to install IHS and plug-in at the same time.

The Plug-ins installation wizard...

  • Installs the plug-in module

  • Configures the Web server for communicating with the appserver. In httpd.conf you should see:

    LoadModule was_ap20_module "C:\IBM\IHS\Plugins\bin\mod_was_ap20_http.dll"
    WebSpherePluginConfig "C:\IBM\IHS\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"

  • If possible, creates a Web server configuration definition in the appserver

When multiple profiles exist, the plug-ins installer configures only the default profile.

 

Scenario 1: Remote

The appserver and the Web server are on separate machines or logical partitions.

 

Scenario 2: Remote

Multiple stand-alone appservers are on one machine, and each appserver has a dedicated Web server on a separate machine or logical partition.



 

Scenario 3: Local Application Server profile

The appserver and the Web server are on a single machine or logical partition.

A local distributed installation includes the Web server plug-in, the Web server, and a managed appserver on the same machine:


 

Scenario 4: Local custom profile

A managed node and the Web server are on the same machine or logical partition.

A local distributed installation includes the Web server plug-in, the Web server, and the managed custom node on the same machine:


 

Scenario 5: Local deployment manager profile

A deployment manager node and the Web server are on a single machine or logical partition.

A local distributed installation includes the Web server plug-in, the Web server, and the appserver on the same machine:


 

Scenario 6: Non-default profile

Creating a Web server definition for a profile that is not the default profile.
