Hi,

Someone installed IBM Http Server on my Solaris 8 and left. So now when I
try to access th admin console, I got problem. Can you please tell me how to
find the Admin login Name, and how to change the pw?

Thanks a lot ahead

Jane

It uses basic auth through a password file. I think the docs tell you
where to find it. In fact it is installed with no user set up so you
HAVE to set an id/password using htpasswd before you can get to the console.

Thanks a lot Ray. And I used ./htpasswd -cm
/opt/IBMHttpServer/conf/admin.passwd [login name] and gave a new pw. But the
admin console didnt show up. When I click the "Config Server" link, I got
"page cannot be found" error. And I found port 8008 is not up although 80 is
opened.

What should I do now?

Thanks again

Jane

I'm afraid I've only done that on NT where the admin server runs as a
service. I'm not sure how it's set up on Unix.

IIRC, you have to run another process to get the admin service up - and,
it was only available at all for certain versions of IHS.

I've always found it easier to simply edit httpd.conf.
