Updating the HTTP server configuration on IBM i

Your Sametime® Community Server will use the IBM® Domino® HTTP server. It is possible that you may have already configured IBM HTTP Server for IBM i on your system for other applications. If so, then you must verify that each instance of the HTTP server is bound to a specific TCP/IP address. This will prevent it from conflicting with your Sametime server.

About this task

To change the HTTP server settings using commands, follow these steps:

Procedure

1. If the HTTP server is currently running, type the following command on any IBM i command line and press Enter to end it:

   ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP)

2. Start the HTTP Administration server by typing the following command and pressing Enter:

   STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)

3. Open the IBM HTTP server configurations page.
   • Start your web browser.
   • Enter the following URL:

     http://mysystem:2001/HTTPAdmin

     where mysystem is the name of your system.

   • Click IBM Web Administration for IBM i.
   • Select the Manage tab.
   • Select the HTTP Servers tab.
4. Select a configuration from the menu at the beginning of the screen, and complete the following items for each configured instance of the HTTP server:
   • In the navigation pane, select General Server Configuration.
   • Locate the IP address and port table in the section called Server IP address and ports to listen on.
   • If one of the rows in the table has an asterisk (*) in the IP Address column, then the server is listening on all IP addresses. Select that row. Replace the asterisk (*) with the IP address for this server and click Continue.
   • When finished updating the server IP address table, click Apply to save your changes.
5. When each instance of the HTTP server is configured to use a specific IP address, restart the HTTP servers by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
