Looking at the logs provided, it looks like the web server is running.  Can you confirm that by accessing a page on the web server?

Is there a firewall blocking connection on port 80 from the application server to the web server?  That is how WebSphere determines that the HTTP server is successfully running.

Yes. Http server is running but it is not reflecting in dmgr console.
How can i check whether firewall is blocking port 80 and how can i resolve this issue

Hi,
I have checked that firewall is not blocking the Http port it is allowing this port.

As well, Http server is configured to Appsrv node is it mandatory to start that node? before starting Http server?

Hi Kalyan,

  You have two choice to manage you Http through Adminconsole:

• Nodeagent
• Http Server Admin

  Using the administrative console to start IBM HTTP Server

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.ihs.doc/ihs/tihs_startwsadmincon.html

You can administer IBM HTTP Server through the WebSphere Application Server administrative console using the WebSphere Application Server node agent or using the IBM HTTP Server administration server. An IBM HTTP Server that is defined to a deployment manager (dmgr) managed node is administered using the node agent. An IBM HTTP Server that is defined to an unmanaged node is administered using the administration server.

   If you have defined Webserver in are managed node then you need to have nodeagent started.

  Hope this helps. Tell us if you need more support
