This topic provides information on how to change the type
of Web server.
About this task
If you install a Web server that is different from the one
that is currently installed, you can modify the Web server type from IBM® HTTP Server to a non-IBM HTTP Server and vice versa, rather
than delete the Web server and create a new Web server definition.
If you change the Web server type from IBM HTTP
Server to non-IBM HTTP Server Web server, the administration capabilities
are lost accordingly.
Procedure
- From the WebSphere® Application Server
administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > Web servers.
- Select the server that you want to modify.
- On the Web server configuration panel, change your Web
server by selecting an option from the Type drop-down menu. If you are changing from a non-IBM HTTP Server to an IBM HTTP
Server, you are also prompted for information such as IBM HTTP
Server administration server port, user ID, and IBM HTTP
Server administration server password.
- Click Apply.
Results
You can verify your changes on the Web servers collection
panel. The Web server type displays in the Web Server Type column.
