Starting the *ADMIN instance of IBM HTTP Server on IBM i

Learn how to start the *Admin instance of IBM HTTP Server.

This article assumes that we have decided to use the IBM HTTP Server for IBM i to serve requests to WebSphere Application Server.

Start the *ADMIN server instance of IBM HTTP Server to create, change, or display an IBM HTTP Server instance configuration using the IBM HTTP Server for IBM i Configuration and Administration forms.

We can start the *ADMIN server instance from a Control Language (CL) command line or from Navigator for i.

  Type the following command and press Enter to start the *ADMIN instance from the CL command line:

  The IBM i Navigator is the graphical interface to the IBM i server. The Navigator for IBM i is part of the IBM i Access for Windows product.

  For more information about IBM i Access for Windows and Navigator for i, see the IBM i Access Family website.
