Admin Console URL change in Websphere 6.1
bshah
http://localhost:9061/ibm/console
and I would like to change the URL to
http://localhost/ibm/console or http://myName/ibm/console.
Can somebody please help me out in this matter ?

Keep in mind that when a port is not specified the default one 80 will
be accessed. If you do not have a web server running on this machine
(or it is listening on other port than 80), you can setup your admin
console to listen to port 80 and access it without specifying a port.
To do that go into the admin console
Application Servers --> server1 (or whatever) --> Ports -->
WC_adminhost
and change the port from 9061 to 80.
Restart WAS and Voila!
Let me now if any problems.

the same machine listening to port 80. Also, I have a application
runnning on this machine which is hosted on a different Application
server then server1 which has the URL http://myName/myApp.
So I have a virtual host "xyz" which maps to the application and has
an entry for myName at posrt 80. I guess to use port 80 I will have to
point Admin console to virtual "xyz". I dont know how to achieve
that ?

Theoretically, you can create a virtual host just for the Admin
Console so you can access it at the default port 80, but I am not sure
if it's worth the trouble. I get a headache just trying to think how
this can be done.
Let us know if you find a easy way.
Good luck,

Notice there are two "default" virtual hosts defined. IIRC
-default_host
-admin_host
admin_host mapping reads as *:9060 and *:9443 (for non-ssl and ssl)
respectively.
Add another entry there which reads as myName:80
Notice default_host also has *:80. (and *:443 for ssl)
It is a good idea to replace *:80 with say myapps:80. Do ensure that
there is no clash in the mappings between the various virtual hosts.
In what i have said above, you access admin console via http://myName/ibm/console
while for example a web applicaiton with URI say "TEST" would read as:
