5. SERVLETEXEC APPLICATION SERVER (UNIX)

ServletExec 4.1 Installation Guide 84

Argument Explanation

program assumes –host using the local IP

address and port 80. If

-host is specified

without a port, then the

StopServletExec

program assumes port 80. If

-direct is

specified without a port, then the

StopServletExec program assumes port

8888.

-admin

Specifies the username/password as

configured by the ServletExec Admin UI. If

these are not specified correctly, the stop

command will be rejected by the

ServletExec/AS instance. Therefore, you

must edit the StopServletExec script to

enter or modify the –admin parameter

whenever you set or modify the ServletExec

Admin UI username or password.

Table 10. Stop ServletExec/AS Command Line Arguments

6.6.3 Remote Operation

By default, a ServletExec/AS web server adapter is installed on the same machine as the

ServletExec/AS instance, and the ServletExec/AS instance only accepts requests from

web server adapters running on the local machine. It is possible to install and configure

web server adapters to run on a different machine (a “remote” machine) than the

ServletExec/AS instance.

To run a web server adapter on a different machine

1. Edit the StartServletExec script for the ServletExec/AS instance to add the

following argument at the end of the

java command line:

-allow <ip address>

where <ip address> is the IP address of the remote machine on which the web

server adapter will be installed

See Section

6.6.1.2 for a detailed discussion of the –allow argument.

2. Run the ServletExec/AS installer on the remote machine on which the web server

adapter is to be installed. Choose Install a web server adapter when prompted.

See Section 6.4 for more information.

3. Enter the name, IP address, and port number of the ServletExec/AS instance

when prompted.

Note

You can install multiple web server adapters on multiple machines or on a single machine

to forward requests to a single ServletExec/AS instance.
