Start and stop the HTTP Server

The Digital Experience Patterns is already configured with the IBM® HTTP Server to allow port 80 access to WebSphere® Portal.

To start the HTTP Server, run the following command:

./apachect1 start

To stop the HTTP Server, change to the /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin directory and run the following command:

./apachect1 stop

By default, the HTTP Server reads its application server plug-in configuration from /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/plugin_cfg.xml, which is automatically refreshed during pattern deployment. These directories might change depending on the value that is specified on the HTTP Server component.

More HTTP Server instances might be added by using the DX Add IHS Instance script package, and starting and stopping those script packages might be done by using the apachectl command with the

-f

options.
