Assume that the application server is already installed and configured. Perform
the following tasks:
1. Install the Web server on system A.
2. Install the Web server plug-in on system A by performing the following steps:
a. Select Local installation.
b. Enter a name for the Web server definition. The default is webserver1.
c. Select the location for the plug-in configuration file. By default, the location
under the config directory in the profile for the stand-alone application
server is selected. For example, when the name specified for the Web
server definition in the previous step is webserver1, the default location for
the plug-in file is as follows:
/config/cells//nodes/webserver1_node/ser
vers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml
Be aware that in a local scenario, the plug-in configuration file does not
need to be propagated to the server when it is regenerated. The file is
generated directly in the location from which the Web server reads it.
During the installation, the following tasks are performed:
1. The plug-in configuration file is created and placed in the location
specified.
2. The Web server configuration file is updated with the plug-in configuration,
including the location of the plug-in configuration file.
3. The WebSphere Application Server configuration is updated to define the
new Web server.
The plug-in configuration file is automatically generated. Because this is a local
installation, you do not have to propagate the new plug-in configuration to the
Web server.
