Copying the plugin-cfg.xml file to Web server

If you are not using an IBM HTTP Server as your Web server, you must complete the steps on this page each time a change is made to the plugin-cfg.xml file to copy the plugin-cfg.xml file to the remote Web server.

Procedure

Stop the Web server according the documentation provided with the Web server.

Copy the following file on the WebSphere Commerce node.


WebSphere Commerce in a clustered environment	`WAS_DM_profiledir`/config/cells/`cell_name`/nodes/`webserver_node`/servers/`webserver_name`/plugin-cfg.xml
WebSphere Commerce in a non- clustered environment	`WC_profiledir`/config/cells/`cell_name`/nodes/ `webserver_node`/servers/`webserver_name`/ plugin-cfg.xml

To determine the location you need to copy the file to, go to the Web servers section of WebSphere Application Server administration console and click Propagate Plug-in. A message box displays with the location. For example:

/usr/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1

Overwrite any existing plugin-cfg.xml file on the Web server node.

Important: The plugin-cfg.xml file contains directory-specific information. If you do not copy the file to the exact same directory structure on the Web server node, the Web server will not function correctly and WebSphere Commerce will be inaccessible.

Copy the following file on the WebSphere Commerce node to the same location on the Web Server node:

WC_profiledir/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/servers/server_name/plugin-cfg.xml
Overwrite any existing plugin-cfg.xml file on the Web server node.
Important: The plugin-cfg.xml file contains directory-specific information. If you do not copy the file to the exact same directory structure on the Web server node, the Web server will not function correctly and WebSphere Commerce will be inaccessible.
For Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 4 users, ensure that the path for the WebSphere Application Server plug-in is shown correctly in the configuration files. The line in a configuration file for the WebSphere Application Server plug-in resembles the following text:
```
Init fn="as_init" 
bootstrap.properties="WAS_installdir/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml"
```
```
Init fn="as_init" 
bootstrap.properties="WAS_installdir\config\cells\plugin-cfg.xml"
```
Note: For Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) users, the path for the WebSphere Application Server plug-in can be found in the plugin-cfg.loc file. For more information, see Configuring Microsoft Internet Information Services.
If the path in the configuration files does not match the full path to the plugin-cfg.xml file on the Web server node, correct the path.
Start the Web server according to the documentation provided with the Web server.
