Dear All,
Hey,
I am learning was 4.0 ae these days. I am facing some problem in running the IBM HTTP Server alongwith the WAS Admin Server. My installation platform is windows 2000 profession, db2 ee 7.1, ibm http server 1.3.19, was 4.0 ae and ibm jdk 1.3.<some minor>. My installation sequence is according to that listed in the Administration Handbook:
1) Install DB2 7.1
2) Update
JDBC Drivers to 2.0
2) Install IBM HTTP Server
3) Setup SSL on HTTP Server
4) Create WAS Admin Database
5) Catalog the WAS Admin Database
6) Install WAS 4.0 AE with HTTP Server option DESELECTED
7) Install HTTP Plug-in to IBM HTTP Server
Everything installs just fine without any hitch. After reboot, I start the WAS admin server and run the Admin Console. From there I run the Default Server and regenerate the plugin. Now, while, the WAS admin server is running, if I stop my HTTP Server and try to start it again, it hangs (showing the status of 'Starting' in the Services window). I did not find any error or warnings in the admin_err log file of http server. However, if I stop the WAS Admin Server, the the HTTP Server starts immediately and works well.
To my surprise, in one of my installation's when I DID NOT catalog the DB for WAS administration repository, and did rest of the above steps, everything started working alright without any errors or glitches. I was able to start/stop HTTP Server, HTTP Administration Server, WAS Admin Server... all of them togethor, without any problem.
Can anybody shed some light as to what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Tualha Khan
