==============================
Before You Install the Product
==============================
By default, NetWare 4.1 sets the maximum number of
packet receive buffers to 100. This number is not
adequate for the NetWare Web Server. Before you
install the product, increase the maximum number
of packet receive buffers to 1000 by entering the
following command at the server console prompt:
set maximum packet receive buffers=1000
To ensure that the packet receive buffers are set
appropriately when the server is restarted, you
should also add this command to the SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF
file.
======================
Installing the Product
======================
Server Requirements
================================================
ò CPU: Intel Pentium-, 80486-, 80386-based PC (80486
or higher recommended).
ò File Storage: Hard disk with minimum 2.5 MB available for the
product software (not including storage for user-supplied
hypertext documents). An additional 3.5 MB is required if
you plan to install the online documentation.
ò Memory: 16 MB total RAM.
ò Network Operating System: NetWare 4.1 or later, NetWare 4.1 SMP,
or NetWare 4.1 SFTIII. The TCPIP NLM must be configured and loaded.
Installing on NetWare 4.1 SMP
=============================
The NetWare Web Server installation utility automatically installs
an SMP version of the Web NLM (HTTPSMP.NLM) to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
If you are running NetWare 4.1 SMP, you must manually unload the
single-processor version of the Web server (HTTP.NLM) and load
HTTPSMP.NLM. To do this, type the following commands at the server
console prompt:
unload http <Enter>
load httpsmp <Enter>
You will also want to edit the SYS:SYSTEM\UNISTART.NCF and
SYS:SYSTEM\UNISTOP.NCF files so that they automatically
load and unload HTTPSMP.NLM instead of HTTP.NLM.
NetWare Language Support
========================
NetWare Web Server 2 only supports the English language. When you
install NetWare Web Server 2 on a NetWare server with the LANGUAGE
parameter set to French, Italian, German, or Spanish, the
NetWare Web Server installation module will automatically load using
English. There is no need for you to change the LANGUAGE
parameter value.
Reinstalling the Software
=========================
If you reinstall the NetWare Web Server software, the installation
program will overwrite the configuration files in the \WEB\CONFIG
directory. Therefore, if you want to maintain your existing
configuration, you must save the configuration files under another
filename and then restore the files after you reinstall the software.
=====================================================
Running the NetWare Web Server Administration Utility
=====================================================
Workstation Requirements
========================
ò CPU: Intel Pentium-, 80486-, or 80386-based PC.
ò File Storage: Hard disk with minimum 1 MB available.
ò Memory: At least 8 MB RAM.
ò Operating System: Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11,
or Windows 95.
ò Network Protocols: NetWare client (VLM). WinSock 1.1
compliant TCP/IP stack.
NDS Login
=========
In order to restrict directory access to authenticated
NDS users, you must be logged in to NDS before you
launch the NetWare Web Server administration utility.
If you are not logged in to NDS, the Network users list
will be empty.
Using the Network Button
========================
If you notice that the Network button does not work inside
the NetWare Web Server administration utility, you may
have an old COMMDLG.DLL in the C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory. If you have a newer version of this DLL, you can
simply delete the old version. If you only have the old version,
you must delete the old COMMDLG.DLL and install a newer version
to get the Network button to work.
=======================
Configuring the Product
=======================
Setting the NetWare Rights
==========================
To maintain the security of your server, you should set
the NetWare rights as follows:
ò Set the rights to the \CONFIG directory (SYS:WEB\CONFIG
by default) so that the people responsible for administering
the Web server are the only people with rights to this
directory.
ò Set the rights to the scripts directories (SYS:WEB\SCRIPTS,
SYS:WEB\SCRIPTS\PERL and any other script directories you
create) so that only people responsible for writing, managing,
or editing the scripts have rights to these directories.
Checking the SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG File
====================================
If there is a SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG file on your server,
the Web server will automatically try to query the DNS
name servers listed in the file. If DNS is not used on
your network or the RESOLV.CFG file is incorrect, you
will notice delayed response times on your Web server.
Therefore, if your server has a SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG file
you should make sure that
ò DNS is used on your network
ò The SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG file syntax is correct
ò The DNS name servers listed in the file are up and running
Adding New Icons
================
The NetWare Web Server includes default icons for use with
the automatic directory indexing feature. You can map your
own icons to specific filename extensions by adding the
following directive to the SYS:WEB\CONFIG\SRM.CFG file:
AddIcon /icons/name_of_icon_file .filename_extension
You can add as many AddIcon directives as you want. You
can also use this directive to change the icon that
is displayed for files with a specific filename
extension.
============================
Perl Interpreter Limitations
============================
The Perl Interpreter NLM has the following functional
limitations:
ò The chmod function can only be used to set
file permissions to 0x000 (read only)
or 0x777 (read write).
ò The opendir and readdir functions are currently
unsupported.
=======================================
Running the Product with Other Software
=======================================
Compatibility With the FTPSERV NLM
==================================
The FTPSERV.NLM provided in the NetWare NFS Services,
NetWare/IP, and NetWare UNIX Print Services products
does not support requests from Web browsers. If you are
running one of these products and would like to receive
an updated FTPSERV.NLM that fixes this problem, contact
your technical support representative.
SFT III Support
===============
This product is compatible with SFTIII.
DBCS Compatibility
==================
The NetWare Web Server can serve DBCS documents.
However, the server will not perform any translation.
Therefore, the function of RCGI extensions in DBCS
environments is currently undefined.
==============
Using DynaText
==============
Do I Need to Install the Online Documentation?
==============================================
The NetWare Web Server Extension Interface Guide
documents the Remote Common Gateway Interface (RCGI).
This is the interface that enables you to
write custom scripts and NLMs to extend the functionality
of the Web server. This guide is available both in
DynaText format (included on the product CD) and in
HTML (on the www.novell.com Web site). If you have a
Web browser with Internet access, you can access this
guide at http://occam.sjf.novell.com:8080/iamg.websvr20.english.
Otherwise, you must install the online documentation on
your server and then view it using the DynaText viewer
(SYS:DOCVIEW\DTAPPWIN\DTEXTRW.EXE).
Installing the DynaText Online Viewer
=====================================
If you are installing the online documentation and the
installation program detects that you already have the
DynaText viewer installed, the installation program
prompts you whether to overwrite the existing Dynatext
viewer files. If you choose to overwrite the viewer
files, you must ensure that there are no users accessing
the viewer. If a user is accessing the viewer when the
installation program tries to overwrite the files, the
installation will fail.
=============================================
Installing the WordPerfect Internet Publisher
=============================================
The product CD includes a copy of the WordPerfect
Internet Publisher and the Netscape Navigator browser
that you can use to create and test your HTML documents.
To use this product, you must have a registered copy of
WordPerfect 6.1.
This product is located in the \WPIP directory at the
root of the product CD. For instructions on installing
this product, refer to the \WPIP\README.TXT file.
==============================
Corrections to the Online Help
==============================
The correct syntax for restricting directory access to
any user listed in a user database file is as follows:
AuthType Basic
AuthName any_name
AuthUserFile filename
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
