Network Setup

Contents / Administrator Docs / Developer Docs / Index / AdminTool Contents

The Network Setup page allows you to define and change the basic network settings for the services running in your Java^TM Web Server^TM. The Network Setup page has the following fields and settings:

Port
Defines the port that your HTTP, Proxy, or HTTPS service listens on to field requests. A port number can be any number between 1 and 65535. (On UNIX^TM, port numbers less than 1024 are considered "protected" ports and run as root. If you want to run your Java Web Server on a port less than 1024, for example the default World Wide Web port 80, see Installation.)

The Java Web Server default ports are:

Web Service (HTTP) - 8080
Secure Web Service (HTTPS) - 7070
Proxy Service - 6060

Note: If you change the port number, you must restart the service by clicking the Restart button to have your change take effect.

Restart
Temporarily stops and then restarts the service so your changes can be saved and activated. It is only necessary to restart the service if you change the port.

Stop
If you choose, you can Stop a service rather than restart it. If you do this, the Restart button changes to read Start. To restart a stopped service, click Start.

Provide Service On
This field allows you to accept connections on more than one network address if your machine is set up for multihoming. For example, if you have installed two interface cards, and one is set to le0 and one is set to le1, you can assign a single port (for example, 8080) to listen to requests that come in on both cards. Alternatively, you can set your port to listen to only a single card, requests that come in on the other card are ignored.

All Network Addresses - This sets your default port to listen to requests that come in on both (or all) network interface cards installed in your machine.
Network Address - This field sets your default port to listen to requests coming in on only the card specified. Enter the host name assigned to the card, or the IP Address. If you have more than one interface card installed, requests coming in on that card are ignored if this field is selected.

Buttons

To make changes to the Network Setup page and have those settings take affect, use the three buttons at the bottom of the screen. These are:

Save - Writes your changes to the Java Web Server and changes the settings.
Revert - Takes you back to the previous settings for all fields in the screen. Use this button to undo changes you have not yet saved.
Defaults - Displays the settings that were active when you entered the Java Web Server Network Setup page.
