You might encounter some errors when you use the Web Administration Tool console on the Windows™ Server 2003 platform. Follow the steps to avoid or resolve these errors.

Web Administration Tool errors occur if all the following conditions exist:
  • The Web Administration Tool is installed locally.
  • The Web Administration Tool runs on a locally installed version of Microsoft™ Internet Explorer.
  • The Web Administration Tool uses the locally installed WebSphere® Application Server.
  • An IP address or host name is part of the URL used to access the Web Administration Tool.

To avoid these errors:

  1. If WebSphere Application Server is running locally, add http://localhost to the list of trusted sites.
  2. If WebSphere Application Server is running on a remote system, add the IP address or host name of the remote computer to the list of trusted sites. For example: http://IP address or http://hostname.

To add a web address to the list of trusted sites:

  1. Click Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Site > Sites.
  2. Type the web address in the website field.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Click OK.

To log on to the Web Administration Tool on a remote computer, open an Internet Explorer web browser and type the following in the Address field:
