Overview
Contents / SWS Administration Console
SWS is a high-performance, TCP/IP-based, World Wide Web
server for both Internet and Intranet services. It supports HyperText
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.0, and a few key features of the HTTP 1.1
specification. You can administer SWS through a Java-enabled browser.
SWS Administration Console
The SWS Administration Console is divided into three areas:
The Folders Area
This area displays a toggled list where you select which view you want
to display. Your choices are:
- Configuration-Displays
the tabs and menus used to configure SWS.
- Request Log-Displays
the HTTP requests processed by SWS in a tabular fashion showing
various parameters associated with each request, including the connections
made to the server, the machine making the connection, the date of the
connection, and other information.
- Error Log-Displays the
system errors encountered by SWS, including run-time connection
errors. The log is displayed in a tabular format showing the date, time,
and syslog error message.
- Server Stats-Displays
statistics about the server, including statistics about any hosts that
have been assigned and the available ports
- Feedback-Displays three
feedback forms for sending electronic mail to the Sun WebServer team. These
include feedback on:
- SWS usability
- Suggestions for improving SWS
- SWS bugs
The Administration Area
This area is where most SWS administration is done. What you view in this area depends on which folder you select. The Administration area has three parts:
- The Status Bar-Displays a status message about the folder
you are currently working in, for example, the name of the configuration file
you are currently running. It also displays the context-sensitive online
Help Question Mark icon (?).
- The Menu Bar-Displays the menus for the folder you are
currently viewing.
- The Work Area-Contains the configuration parameters,
log entries, statistics, or feedback forms you are currently working with.
In some folders, there are several tabbed cards you can toggle between.
Cards allow you to choose which part of the selected folder you want to work
with.
The Help Area
This is where SWS documentation is displayed. For more information
about SWS Help, see How To Use Help.
