2.3 IBM HTTP Web Server

If you choose to use the IBM HTTP Web Server as your Web Server, there are

several ways you can verify its proper installation. If you have problems with the

server, you may want to execute the steps in the following checklist:

򐂰 The Web server is normally installed as a service in Windows NT. Therefore,

from the Control Panel, open Services and make sure it has been started

after rebooting the machine, as shown in Figure 2-1. If it is not started, select

the Startup option to verify which user ID it is using and that it has

administrator privileges. Reconfigure any options for proper values to run the

IBM HTTP Web Server as a service.

Figure 2-1 IBM HTTP Server status

򐂰 Once you are sure that the IBM HTTP Web Server is started and running,

from a Web browser access the Web server welcome screen using the URL

http://<server-name>/ or http://127.0.0.1/ (for a local connection).

Restarting the server

The IBM HTTP Server can be stopped and restarted using the Services control

panel options (see Figure 2-1 on page 38); you can also enter a command, in the

Windows console, which is very useful when you Telnet to the server. In this

case, enter a command as follows:

To start the server, enter net start "IBM HTTP Server"

To stop the server, enter net stop "IBM HTTP Server"
