Verify status of NPS Web Admin server

Question & Answer


Question

How do I verify that the NPS Web Admin server is running?

Answer

From the NPS Linux host, run:

    ps -eaf | grep httpd

This command will provide output if the Apache webserver is up and running.

From the NPS Linux host if you enter:
    telnet <linux server> 80

followed by <enter>, provided port 80 is available you should see output similar to the following:
    Trying 10.1.0.1..
    Connected to 10.1.0.1
    Escape character is '^]'

If you then type:
    GET /

followed by <enter>, you should normally expect to see the HTML source of the Apache welcome screen.

If you type:
    GET /admin.html

followed by <enter>, you will receive the HTML source of the NPS WebAdmin client.

The above Telnet instructions can be run from a remote host to verify that the remote host can navigate to the NPS server.
