Purpose

The Network Setup page enables you to define and change the basic network settings for the services running in your Java Web Server^(TM).

							\|_ Network

Fields

Port
Defines the port that your HTTP or HTTPS service listens on to field requests.

A port number can be any number between 1 and 65535. (On UNIX^(R), port numbers less than 1024 are considered protected ports and must be run as root. Therefore, to start Java Web Server on port 80, you would have to start it as root.)

The Java Web Server default ports are:

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

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

Provide Service on
This field enables 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).

All Network Addresses
Sets your default port to listen to requests that come in on both (or all) network interface cards installed in your machine.
Network Address
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

Restart
Temporarily stops and then restarts the service so your changes can be saved and activated. You only have 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.

Save
Writes your changes to Java Web Server and changes the settings.

Revert
Returns to the last, saved 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.
