Verifying application mappings

Complete this task only if you did not select to configure IBM® HTTP Server during the installation IBM® Connections.

About this task

If you installed and configured IBM® HTTP Server after you have installed IBM® Connections, your IBM® Connections applications are automatically mapped to the web server. However, if you installed and configured IBM® HTTP Server before you installed IBM® Connections, you must manually map the applications.

To verify whether the mappings exist, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. From the WebSphere® Application Server Integrated Solutions Console, select Servers > Server Types > Web servers and then click the web server (webserver1).
  2. Click Generate Plug-in.
  3. Click your web server again and then click Propagate Plug-in.
    Note: If you have trouble propagating the plug-in on Linux, restart IBM® HTTP Server using the following commands:
     ./adminctl start
     ./apachectl -k stop
     ./apachectl -k start
    
  4. Wait until a confirmation message is displayed; for example:
    PLGC0062I: The plug-in configuration file is propagated from /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/config/cells/servernameCell01/nodes/webserver1/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml to /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml.

    The message identifies where the plugin-cfg.xml file is on the system that hosts IBM® HTTP Server. In this example, the file path is: /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml.

  5. Log on to the system that hosts IBM® HTTP Server and open the plugin-cfg.xml file.
  6. Verify that the URIs for the installed IBM® Connections applications are present. For example:
    <UriGroup Name="default_host_Cluster1_URIs">      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/activities/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/activities/quickrpicker/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/communities/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/communities/calendar/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/communities/recomm/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/forums/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/metrics/service/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/metrics/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/profiles/*"/>      
    <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/profiles/seedlist/*"/>   
    </UriGroup>

    If the IBM® Connections URIs are not present, complete the steps in the Mapping applications to IBM® HTTP Server topic.
