Please help me in configuring two IBM MObilefirst Platform 7.1 ap server to one IBM HTTP Web server. As per the IBM Documents I should follow Server Farm configurations.
Need guidance in doing the same.
Scenario 1
Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Each app server is having separate DB for each. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
Scenario 2Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Both the app server is having common DB. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
I need both the app servers to be up at the same time in the above given scenarios. Please let me know in scenario one should I install any separate plugin for setting up server farm configuration.
note:In Scenario 2 currently only one App server can be made up at a time
Use JConsole to generate the plugin-cfg.xml from your individual Liberty servers. You can either merge the plugin-cfg.xml files manually or use Job Manager to generate a merged plugin from both the Liberty servers.
More details here:
Setting up HTTP Server in a WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile farm
Manually merge the files by using a text editor.
Use the job manager to submit a Generate merged plugin configuration for Liberty servers job.

We are in active process of developing web application under Apache Web Server.
What is web application structure, that should be deployed on Apache Web Server? Is there documentation available?
After installing Apache Web server
you need
1) Mysql to access database and store your data
2) PHP to run scripts for retrieving data from database to display it and to save data to the database.

I have a desktop client application (Windows) developed using C++. It connects to the web services hosted on the IIS on the server. Currently I am in the process of porting this application to use TLS1.1/1.2 from the existing SSLv3.0/TLS1.0. However, I would like to test my client code separately by connecting to some server which already supports TLS1.1. Is there any tool available that I can use to test the same?
Hello Folks,
We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:
We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.
Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.
Things done so far:
Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
Installed IBM Installation Manager
I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?
You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.
The steps you need to take are:
Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
Build the app
Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console
If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.
I read somewhere that a web application consists of a web server, application server and a database server. What is the difference between these three ?
I asked this question because I remember when I hosted a website, all I had was a https login to the control panel of the website, in which I put all my files in htdocs folder. There were no three separate things like the web server, application server and the database server.
This often gets confusing.
Firstly - "Server" can refer to a physical thing (a computer), or a logical thing (a piece of software).
Web, application and database server software can all run on the same physical server machine, or be distributed across multiple physical machines. Most large websites have multiple machines; most "consumer" hosting packages run on a single box.
The logical separation is as follows.
The Web server deals with HTTP(S) requests, and passes these requests on to "handlers". They have built-in handlers for file requests - HTML pages, images, CSS, JavaScript etc. You can add additional handlers for requests that they cannot manage - e.g. dynamic pages delivered by the application server. Web servers implement the HTTP specification, and know how to manage request and response headers.
The application server handles requests which create dynamic pages. So instead of serving an HTML page that is stored on the hard drive, they dynamically generate the HTML sent to the end user. Common languages/frameworks for this are Java/JSP, .Net (aspx), PHP, Ruby (on Rails or not), Python etc. Most of the time, this application server software is running on the same physical server machine as the web server.
The database server software is where the application stores its structured information. Typically, this means custom software which allows the application server to ask questions like "how many items does user x have in their basket?", using a programming language. Examples are MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle (all "relational databases"), and MongoDB, Redis and CouchDB ("NoSQL" solutions).
The database software can run on the same physical machine as the web server, but it's usually the first thing that gets hosted on separate physical hardware when the site needs to scale.
Web Server -
Server on which your website is hosted. This server will have installed web servers such as IIS, apache, etc.
Application Server -
Server on which your created applications which are utilizing your database, web service, etc.
This application server will host business layer (wrapped with web services), scheduled jobs, windows services, etc.
Database Server -
Database server will have your one or more database hosted such as Oracle, Sql Server, MySql, etc.
If you are referring to htdocs then it is a Web Server. The database you are using is must be installed on different server which is your Database server. Application server can also be installed on the same web server machine.
Reference - Deployment Patterns
Web Server: The server on which all your HTTP requests are handled is known as a web server
where as
Application Server: Including the services of web server i.e responding to the HTTP requests it also responds to the business logic thus not just limited to the HTTP protocol
Eg. gaming servers, chat rooms etc.
