Verify the HTTP Server installation

To verify that you have successfully completed the IBM® HTTP Server for i installation, follow these steps.

Before you can verify the IBM HTTP Server for i installation it is assumed you have installed the licensed program. For more information about installing the product, see Install HTTP Server on your server.
The HTTP Server is installed with a default server called APACHEDFT. To test your installation, do the following:
  1. Access the IBM Web Administration for i from your browser. For information about how to access the Web Administration for i interface, see Starting Web Administration for i.
  2. Click the Manage tab.
  3. Click the HTTP Servers subtab.
  4. Select the APACHEDFT server from the Server list.
  5. Click the Start icon next to the Server list.
  6. Click the Refresh icon and check if the server status is still shown as "Running". If your HTTP Server does not start, see Troubleshooting.
  7. Open another Web browser and go to http://your.server.name where your.server.name is the host name of your IBM i server to view the default Welcome page. The default Welcome page is a Web page that is returned by the APACHEDFT Web server.
Upon successful completion of these steps you will have verified the installation of IBM HTTP Server for i.
