Testing your WebSphere installation

First of all, start your HTTP Server and WAS administration server "server1".

In a browser, run the snoop servlet:

http://localhost:9080/snoop
Using port 9080 bypasses the web Server plug-in and uses the imbedded HTTP server of WebSphere Application Server.

In a browser, run the snoop servlet:
http://localhost/snoop
This uses port 80, which will test the Web Server plug-in of the HTTP Server, and the communication from the Web Server to WebSphere Application Server.
