Edit the web server type

This topic provides information on how to change the type of Web server. If you install a web server that is different from the one that is currently installed, you can modify the web server type from IBM HTTP Server to a non-IBM HTTP Server and vice versa, rather than delete the web server and create a new web server definition. If you change the web server type from IBM HTTP Server to non-IBM HTTP Server web server, the administration capabilities are lost accordingly.


Procedure

  1. From the WAS administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > Web servers.

  2. Select the server to modify.

  3. On the web server configuration panel, change your web server by selecting an option from the Type drop-down menu. If you are changing from a non-IBM HTTP Server to an IBM HTTP Server, you are also prompted for information such as IBM HTTP Server administration server port, user ID, and IBM HTTP Server administration server password.

  4. Click Apply.

We can verify your changes on the web servers collection panel. The web server type displays in the Web Server Type column.
