Web server port and path information after the installation

[Mushy]

Hello All,

I have a new webserver installed at my company.

How do I know the port details to connect to the index page. Is there a  config file I could refer to see the port and which root path in the server is referred when we type in the intranet webpage information example index page @ server:port ?

Thanks

Mushy

Are you referring to the SAS Web Server in SAS 9.4? The generated Instructions.html file should include a link to the Web Server to confirm it's running. Its host and port are specified in <SASConfig>/Lev1/Web/WebServer/httpd.conf,

@gwootton Thanks for the information... I see good amount of information... But I cannot find the details of all web applications link say... SASPortal, SASlogon, SASEnterpriseminer etc... do you know where I could find all the web app links?

The individual web applications are served from one or more SAS Web Application Servers. The SAS Web Server proxies these application servers to a single entry point. The generated Instructions.html file typically lists each application, and the <SASConfig>/Lev1/Web/WebServer/sas.conf file lists out the proxy configuration for each application endpoint to its associated web application server.

@gwootton  Indeed this is the information I was looking for. Thanks for helping me out

Usually, you can find the port information in the configuration files, like httpd.conf for Apache or nginx.conf for Nginx. Look for lines that say Listen or similar. That’ll tell you what port the server is using.

When I set up my own server, I went through a similar process and almost pulled my hair out trying to figure it out. Once I found the config files, it all made sense. I also read about bulletproof hosting, which emphasizes stability and security. That made me think about how I want my server to perform without any downtime.

Hello @Mushy ,

while you got a perfect answer from @gwootton.

I would like to add something that might be interesting:

For web applications in 9.4 there is a SAS code you can run that can query the metadata configuration, quite relevant: https://gist.github.com/frayos/5213a8e129747db67cc7a478fe266a37

For SAS Viya, you will need to query your Ingress configurations (with kubectl get endpoints) and/or your NGNIX config ( cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf - which would be the similar one as indicated by @gwootton  in 9.4)

I hope it helps you or anyone who finds this!
