Configure the application server machine for remote HTTP

To configure your application server to use remote HTTP, follow these steps:

1. Start the application server and the administrative console.

2. In the virtual host alias list, add separate entries for the host name, IP address, and fully qualified host name of the Web server machine. To add alias entries, follow these steps:

   1. In the topology tree, expand Environment and click Virtual Hosts.
   2. On the Virtual Hosts page, click the name of the virtual host that you want to modify.
   3. On the virtual host's detail page, click Host Aliases.
   4. On the Host Aliases page, click New.
   5. Specify the host name, IP address, or fully qualified host name for the alias. If your HTTP server instance uses a port number other than 80, specify the port number for each alias in the Port field.
   6. Click OK.

   Note: If your configuration contains multiple Web servers or HTTP server instances, you must add a host alias entry for each Web server or HTTP server instance.

   For detailed steps on configuring virtual hosts, see Manage virtual hosts for your application server.

3. After you add a virtual host alias, you must restart the application server. See Start and test your application server for more information.
