IBM® HTTP
Server for IBM i
runs in the QHTTPSVR subsystem, and each HTTP Server instance starts multiple jobs. The WebSphere®
Application Server code that plugs into IBM HTTP Server for IBM i runs in the HTTP Server job that communicates with one or more
application servers. Start the HTTP Server instance to enable communication with the application
server.
Before you begin
This article assumes that you have already created an HTTP server instance. If you have not yet
created an HTTP server instance, see Configuring IBM HTTP Server for IBM i.
About this task
Use this procedure to start the HTTP Server instance for the HTTP Server you are using.
Procedure
-
Start IBM HTTP
Server.
Enter the following command on the CL command line:
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(myinst)
The
myinst variable is the name of your HTTP server instance. This is the HTTP
instance that you configured in
Configuring IBM HTTP Server for IBM i.
If you change your HTTP server instance configuration, stop and then start your HTTP server
instance.
To stop your HTTP server instance, enter this command from the CL command
line:ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(myinst)
The myinst variable is the name of your HTTP server instance. This is the HTTP
instance that you configured in Configuring IBM HTTP Server for IBM i.
You can also stop and start your HTTP server instance from the IBM HTTP Server for IBM i Configuration and
Administration forms in the browser-based interface. For instructions on using the browser-based
interface, see Configuring IBM HTTP Server for IBM i.
The Configuration and Administration forms provide the option of restarting, as opposed to
starting and stopping, your HTTP server instance. When restarting, the HTTP server recognizes all
configuration changes except changes to the Basic and Security configuration forms.
