Checking Web Service Status
In the Server Settings application, you can check to see the current state of the server and
the performance cache, and which Web modules are active. The Start/Stop Status Messages
field displays messages about the server status. If you are not sure what the messages mean,
you can find explanations on the Apache Web site:
www.apache.org
If Web service is not running, the window shows only the date and time the server stopped.
To view Web service status:
1 In Server Settings, click Internet.
2 Click Web and select Show Web Service Status.
Current requests and current throughput include both Apache and performance cache data.
Performance cache requests and throughput include performance cache data only.
Viewing Logs of Web Service Activity
Web service in Mac OS X Server uses the standard Apache log format, so you can use any
third-party log analysis tool to interpret the log data.
To view the log files:
1 In Server Status, click Web under your server.
2 Click the Logs tab.
3 Click the log you want to view.
Setting Up Multiple IP Addresses for a Port
When you first set up your server, the Setup Assistant lets you configure one IP address for
each Ethernet port available on the server.
On some occasions, you may want to configure multiple IP addresses for a particular port.
For example, if you use the server to host multiple Web sites, you may want to accept
requests for different domain names (URLs) over the same port. To do so, you need to set up
the port to have multiple configurations, one for each domain name, and then use the Web
module of Server Settings to map each site to a particular configuration.
To set up multiple IP addresses for a port:
1 Open System Preferences and click Network.
2 Choose Advanced from the Configure pop-up menu.
3 Click New.
