• Introduction
• Procedures
• Buttons

The Manage Servers and Services page shows the current state of the Java^TM Web Server^TM and lists the services that are installed and running on your machine. These are:

• Web Service - A standard HTTP protocol service. It listens on the default port 8080.
• Secure Web Service - Allows the addition of a secure HTTP (HTTPS) service. It listens on the default port 7070.
• Proxy Service - Allows the addition of a proxy for improved caching and faster performance. It listens on the default port 6060.

To Manage a Service

• Click on the service to highlight it, then click the Manage button.
• Alternatively, you can simply double-click on the service.

1. Click on the server or service to highlight it
2. Click the Restart button

To Shutdown a Service

1. Click on the service to highlight it
2. Click the Stop button

To Shutdown a Server and all its Services

To Shutdown All Servers and Services Being Managed by This Tool

1. Click on the Shutdown button
2. Click on the Yes button when the dialog box asks you to confirm that you want to shut down all servers

To Log Out of This Administration Tool

• Click the Log Out button. This returns you to the Java Web Server login screen.

To Get Help

• Click the Help button. This displays a Help page for the screen you are viewing, or the Help table of contents.

At the top of the page there are three buttons:

• Properties - Allows you to manage the Administration Tool itself.
  The Properties Button displays three cards. Each allows you to set a specific function of the Administration Tool. These are:

  • Admin Password-Allows you to change the password used to enter the Administration Tool.
  • External Port-This is the port visible to the external world. For example, the default port 9090 is known by any user of the Java Web Server, and if not password protected or changed, can be used to access your Administration Tool.
  • Internal Port-This port should be known only to the System Administrator of your Java Web Server. The default is 9091 but can be set to any number. Using this hidden internal port as your only point of entry to the Administration Tool significantly increases your Web Server security.
• Logout - Allows you to leave the Administration Tool.
• Help - Allows you to view an explanation of this page

At the bottom of the page there are four buttons:

• Manage - Allows you to see and change the characteristics of the highlighted service. This button is grayed out and can not be used when the server is highlighted.
• Restart - Stops the execution of the highlighted server or service. If you choose stop with a server highlighted, the server and all its services are shut down. To run a stopped server or service, you must restart it explicitly with the Start button; httpd will not try to start them the next time it is invoked.
• Stop - Stops the execution of the highlighted server or service. If you choose stop with a server highlighted, the server and all its services are shut down. This button is grayed out and can not be used when a server or service is highlighted and its status is "Not Running".
• Shutdown - Stops the execution of all running servers and services shown on the Manage Servers and Services page. After you use the Shutdown button, you can no longer start or administer a server or service using the administration GUI. You must, instead, restart by invoking httpd. The httpd command will then restart all servers and services that were running when shutdown was invoked.
