Overview of IBM Web Administration for i

The HTTP Server and other Web applications can be managed through the IBM® Web Administration for i interface. The Web Administration for i is an application that is loaded in the HTTP Administration server, and accessed from a Web browser.

One of the key differences between IBM HTTP Server for i and other Web server products is the graphical user interface (GUI) provided for setting up and managing your servers. The Web Administration for i interface combines forms, tools, and wizards to create a simplified environment to set up and manage many different servers on your system. The Web Administration for i interface is rich in function, examples, error-checking, and ease-of-use.

Using the Web Administration for i interface, it is no longer necessary to memorize directive names and their proper usage or syntax. Directives are represented in the interface by descriptive field names, along with help text for every field. For Apache users, it is no longer necessary to memorize the supported context of directives. The Web Administration for i enforces supported context for the directives.

The Web Administration for i supports several wizards that guide you through a series of advanced steps to accomplish a task. With a few clicks of a button, you can have a Web server or application server running in no time at all. The Web Administration for i supports the creation of many types of servers, including Web servers, and application servers such as WebSphere® Application Server for System i®, WebSphere Portal Server, IBM Integrated Web Application Server for i, and IBM Integrated Web Services Server for i.
