How to create plugin-cfg.xml in websphere application server?

[s***@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am new to WAS 6. I have installed WAS as a stand-alone application server and i want to configure it with IBM HTTP server. But when i am installing the plugin for WAS i am unable to find the plugin-cfg.xml.
In the installation doc i found that this file is located at
*was_install_root/profiles/profile_name*
*/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/*
*Web_server_name_node/servers/*
*Web_server_name/plugin-cfg.xml*

but i was unable to find it at this location. Also i tried to create new plugin-cfg.xml by using some bat file llocated at /bin/Genplugin.bat (name of the bat file is similar to this).

Please help me and provide me the exact steps for configuring IBM http server with WAS

After you install plug-in, you need configure the HTTP Server httpd.conf file to point to the plug-in location. Here are the info center links on how install and configure plugin with different scenarios.

You need to make sure that the application you deploy is deployed to
the HTTP server that you have already defined within the WebSphere
administrative console.
If it's not deployed to a JVM and the HTTP server, the new application
will not be included in the plug-in configuration file.

Run the genPluginCfg command ( Probably under \Program Files\ibm
\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\<DeploymentManagerProfileName>\bin )
then look for a plugin-cfg.xml file that has been updated recently.
Perhaps from a DOS window (yes, I still use one of those)
cd c:\
dir plugin-cfg.xml /s
Look for one that has been updated recently. Then make sure you have
the httpd.conf file updated with the path to the plugin DLL and the
plugin configuration file.
You should be alright shortly after that!

If you have any further difficulties, please do feel free to get in
touch.

I am new to Websphere administration too. I have a question.

I installed IHS, then installed plugins. When the plugins are
installed, it lets me create a web server and the httpd.conf
automatically gets updated with proper information.

How can I start and stop the webserver using the WAS admin console
instead of using the HTTP server? Thanks for your feedback.
