IHS not redirecting the request to WAS

So, I have installed WAS, and IHS. I'm able to access the application directly from WAS. But IHS is trying to reply the request and its not using the plugin to reply the request. I'm able to access the default IHS page, but not to the test application.

To create the IHS, I have done the standard stuff:

1- Install IHS and Plugin
2- Configure the plugin within the IHS
3- Create an unmanaged node on the DMGR
4- Create the webserver instance on the DMGR

I'm just trying to call a sample application called hello (for helloworld)

I see the request on the webservers logs, but they are not being redirected to the WAS.

This is the mention of the plugin on the httpd.conf:

LoadModule was_ap22_module /opt/ibm/plugin-ihs-85/test_webserver_instance1/bin/64bits/mod_was_ap22_http.so
WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/ibm/plugin-ihs-85/test_webserver_instance1/config/test_webserver_instance1/plugin-cfg.xml

This is the plugin-cfg.xml:

Solution

  • Normally IHS is going to use port 80 to receive communication and rely to the application server. The port 80 is in the default virtual host. So I added the listening port I'm using (1080) to the default virtual host.
