4.2.1 Managing an ASP Server

4.2.1.1 Add an ASP Server
Note:
If you are adding a server that is a non-DSO version of Apache, you will have to execute the add_server script (see add_server section in the Linux section of chapter 2, Installation). The Administration Console doesn't support this function for non-DSO servers.
If you have installed another instance of the web server and want to configure Chili!Soft ASP to work with it, use "Add Server". The interface will show you any webservers that Chili!Soft ASP knows about. You can click the "Refresh Webservers" link to bring the list up to date for any additional webservers that might have been installed. Note that this searches the entire file system, and might take a while. You can also type the path to a webserver manually.
For the "Add Server" function to work, all necessary configuration files (*.conf) must be located in the standard location, <Web server installation root>/conf directory. If the configuration files are not in the standard location, you must run the interactive add_server script. See add_server, under chapter 2, Installation.
The server will be installed into a directory under the top-level ASP directory named asp-apache-PORT (where PORT is the port number). If you view Manage Servers in the Administration Console application, the new server should now show up.
4.2.1.2 Remove an ASP Server
To remove a server, click on the `remove' link next to the server that you wish to remove. You will be asked to confirm the removal.
4.2.1.3 Start/Stop an ASP Server
To start or stop the ASP server, click on the start/stop link. Only the option opposite the current state of the ASP server will be displayed (ie, if the server is stopped, it will show `start'). This will take anywhere from several seconds to around one minute depending on server load.
Note:
If you are removing a server that is a non-DSO version of Apache, you will have to execute the delete_server script (see delete_server section in the Linux section of chapter 2, Installation). The Administration Console doesn't support this function for non-DSO servers.
4.2.1.4 Restart the ASP Server
To restart the ASP Server, click on the `restart' link. You need to restart the ASP Server whenever you change a setting or property that requires a restart as indicated by a [RESTART REQUIRED] comment.
