title: Websphere: How to add a Uri to UriGroup of plugin-cfg.xml
body: <p>I am new to Websphere.
  We have installed a simple hello world app on the websphere application server (8.5.5) and with ibm http server with the context root set as /HelloWorld.
  Given below is the web.xml we are using for the war:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
      id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"&gt;
      &lt;display-name&gt;HelloWorld&lt;/display-name&gt;
      &lt;servlet&gt;
          &lt;servlet-name&gt;welcome&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
          &lt;jsp-file&gt;/index.jsp&lt;/jsp-file&gt;
      &lt;/servlet&gt;
      &lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
          &lt;servlet-name&gt;welcome&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
          &lt;url-pattern&gt;/&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
      &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;
  
  &lt;/web-app&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I browse to http:///HelloWorld I am expecting to see the contents of the index.jsp page of my hello world application.
  However I am getting the "Forbidden" page. I see the contents if I use the path  http:///HelloWorld/index.jsp</p>
  
  <p>Some posts/documentation online lead me to plugin-cfg.xml file on the server.
  I have edited the file to add the Uri "/HelloWorld/*" to the default URIGroup manually and it works.</p>
  
  <p>Now my question is how do I add a Uri to the UriGroup using the Adminsitration Console?
  Also is there a way to have the route added via the war being deployed instead of editing the plugin-cfg file explicitly.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong>
  It's working now I assumed that mapping the module to the Cluster during deployment ("Map modules to servers" step) will automatically map it to the web server, but apparently not. I have mapped the module to the cluster and the web server and it works I will just redo the whole deployment from scratch again to make sure my understanding is correct and then update the post.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks @dbreaux</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update#1</strong></p>
  
  <p>I guess I should RTFI (I = Instruction). The fix for my issue was right there on the deployment page.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Map modules to servers</strong><br>
    Specify targets such as application servers
    or clusters of application servers where you want to install the
    modules that are contained in your application. Modules can be
    installed on the same application server or dispersed among several
    application servers. <strong>Also, specify the Web servers as targets that
    **serve as routers for requests to this application. The plug-in
    **configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml) for each Web server is generated,
    based on the applications that are routed through.</strong></p>
