Changing the Web server configuration

You can configure the Web server to run Apache 1.3 or Apache 2.0 by specifying an additional Web server port.  

To change the Web server configuration:

  1. On the left navigation bar, click Services or Subscribed Services. The Subscribed Services form opens displaying a list of services.

  2. On the Subscribed Services form, locate the Web Server whose configuration you want to change, then click Configure in the corresponding Actions column.

  3. In the Web Server submenu, if it is not already selected, click Configuration. The Configuration form opens displaying all of your current network settings and resource limits.

  4. In the Configuration form, click Edit Configuration.

  5. In the ServerName field, enter the fully qualified domain name of the Web server.

  6. In the Port field, type the port number of the Web server.

  7. Note: You may type 80 or a valid port number greater than 1024.

  1. In the SSL Port field, type the port number of the SSL service.

  2. Note: You may type 443 or a valid port number greater than 1024.

  1. In the ServerAdmin field, enter the email address of the person responsible for managing the server.

  2. In the StartServers field, enter the number of servers that start up when the Web server starts.

  1. In the MaxClients field, enter the maximum number of simultaneous Web server connections.

  2. Note: Each connection generates a process, consequently, too many connections can slow or stop the server; however, if you specify too few simultaneous connections, it can slow down the responsiveness of the Web server.

  1. In the HostnameLookups field, select the check box if you want host names to be resolved; otherwise, leave the check box blank. Host name lookups determine the host names of every Web connection and note them in the log files.

  2. Note: This process can slow the Web server.

  1. Click Update Configuration.

  2. Repeat steps 5 to 12 for Apache 2.0.

  3. Note: If you want to switch between your Production and Test Web servers, click Set to Production Server. After you click the button, restart Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0 service for the change to take effect.

  1. To make these changes effective, restart the corresponding Web server.

  2. Note: Services hosted on the Web server will be inaccessible for the length of time required to restart the Web server.
