Hi,

our provider is moving from WebSphere 5 to WebSphere 6.

For that reason I recently recieved a copy of WebSphere 6.0.0.1 to test our existing applications and to evaluate how well it integrates in our development process.

I installed Websphere 6 leaving all values at default in the following order:

1. WebSphere 6.0.0.1
2. IBM HTTP Server 6.1.0.0
3. IBM Web Server Plugins for WebSphere Application Server

After installation I verified that the application server is set up well. Verify was ok, one application server and one web server show up in the default profiles administration console.

We are using Eclipse 3.1.2, Build id: M20060118-1600 and MyEclipse 4.1.1, Build id: 20060228-4.1.1-GA).
I followed the Quick Start Guide for Websphere 6 (http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/websphere6/) and set up a new profile named “MyEclipse” as suggested in the tutorial.

The problem I encounter is that the web server instance is only visible in the WebSphere default profile administration console. If I start the “MyEclipse” profile’s administration console, a total of 0 web servers are shown underneath Server\Webserver in the admin console.

If I deploy a sample application to the MyEclipse profile I notice that jsp’s are served well, but I recieve HTTP 404 errors when trying to access html pages.

I am sure this is not a MyEclipse issue, but perhaps could anybody enlight me how to configure the application server and/or the web server so that the web server is also visible (and responding to http-requests) in the “MyEclipse” profile.

Kind regards,

Lars Kappenberg

Lars,
Actually a new connector for WebSphere 6.1 was added to MyEclipse 5.0, and when you point it at your default install of WebSphere 6.1 (I believe you mean 6.1 right?) it picks up the dirs and everything, so you just set one dir, and away you go.

Riyad,

thanks for your Reply.

Unfortunatly there is no typo:
Our provider uses 6.0.0.25 on AIX, I recieved a demo DVD with 6.0.0.1 Win32 and we are using MyEclipse 4.1.1.

Since I do not know when our admin will upgrade to Eclipse 3.2 / myEclipse 5.0 I have to set it up with our current configuration.

I agree this is more a WebSphere issue than a MyEclipse issue.

The question is: How can I setup a profile in WebSphere 6.0 (!) and bind an IBM HTTP Server instance to the new profile.

If any of WebSphere gurus reading this: Please give me a hint. 🙂

Kind regards,

Lars

Hi,

today I found a solution for my problem

1. Use GenPluginCfg.bat/.sh to generate a file called plugin-cfg.xml for the MyEclipse profile
2. Edit configurewebserver1.bat in the Profiles\MyEclipse\bin folder (add a new node (e. g. by changing node01 to node02)
3. Run configurewebserver1.bat
4. webserver1 is now visible to the MyEclipse Profile.

Again, thanks for your support

Lars

BTW: I read that in WebSphere 6 this can be done in the administration web interface.
