We have been able to determine that we can get the same behaviour from the web server if we use the ip address rather than the server name. So the web server only passes requests off to the WebSphere plugin if the server name is used and the request is coming in over https. We did not notice before the load balancer was installed because folks just accessed the web apps via ssl and the server name. http://servername/appname -- results in File not found https://servername/appname -- activates the plugin http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -- brings up default web server page http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/appname -- results in File not found https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/appname -- results in file not found So how do we modify the config files to correct this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
