Accessing the Administration Console

The Sun ONE Active Server Pages Administration Console is hosted by the Administration Web site, which is installed on the computer running the ASP Server. The Administration Web site consists of its own Apache Web Server and its own ASP Server. By default, the Administration Web site is configured to start when the computer running Sun ONE ASP is started.

To access the Administration Console, you must know the hostname of the Web server configured to run with Sun ONE ASP, and the port on which the Administration Console is running (5100 by default).

If you did not configure a Web server to run with Sun ONE ASP during installation, you will be prompted to do so the first time you open the Administration Console.

To access the Administration Console

In your browser address bar, enter the following URL:

http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]

where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of the Web server configured to run with Sun ONE ASP, and [PORT] is the port on which the Administration Console is running (5100 by default).

When prompted, type the username and password specified during installation. If you chose the default configuration for the Administration Console during installation, the username is configured as "admin" and the password as "root." You should change these from the defaults as soon as possible, as described in Configuring Usernames and Passwords

After typing the username and password, the Administration Console opens and displays the Server Management page. This page is used to access configuration settings for Sun ONE ASP, view information about the installation, and start and stop the associated Web server.

Note	When Sun ONE ASP is installed and your Web server is running, you can also access the Administration Console from the Sun ONE ASP product home page at:

http://[HOSTNAME]/caspsamp/

where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of the Web server configured to run with Sun ONE ASP.

To access the Sun ONE ASP Administration Console using a URL, you must specify its port number. While the default port number is 5100, this number might be different if 5100 was already in use when you installed Sun ONE ASP, or if you specified a different port number for the Administration Web site during installation. If you don’t know the correct port number, this information can be found in the Sun ONE ASP installation summary file. This file is named install_summary.

On UNIX and Linux platforms, the installation summary file is found in the following location:

/[C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR]/logs/

where [C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR] is the directory in which you installed Sun ONE ASP.

The entry reads as follows:

Administration console installed:

URL: http://[YOUR_WEB_SERVER_HOSTNAME]:[PORT_NUMBER]

Port: [PORT_NUMBER}
