Web Server Test Failed
If the Deployment assistant cannot communicate with the web server that you specified, you can
provide more information and try again.
To change web server settings:
1. In the Web Server Test Failed step in the Deployment assistant, specify the settings to use
to communicate with the web server.
2. Click Retry.
3. Examine the Web Server Test Results:
• If successful, the result is Web Server Test Passed.
• If unsuccessful, the Deployment assistant could not communicate with the web server.
This test can fail if your web server requires HTTPS or uses a port other than 80. You
can re-enter this information and try to communicate with the web server again.
Ensure that you can access the web server from the master
machine — for example, using
a web browser — and try these steps again.
If still unsuccessful, then click Skip this step and configure later.
4. Click Next to go to the next step.
Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to exit the Deployment assistant.
