- 1 - 5. _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s__a_n_d__W_o_r_k_a_r_o_u_n_d_s +o Netscape has confirmed that UUUUsssseeeerrrr DDDDooooccccuuuummmmeeeennnntttt DDDDiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrriiiieeeessss will not work if you have an user without a password. The problem is that the server will incorrectly parse the /_e_t_c/_p_a_s_s_w_d entry and return the user's shell instead of the home directory. To workaround this problem you must toggle on the option LLLLooooaaaadddd eeeennnnttttiiiirrrreeee ddddaaaattttaaaabbbbaaaasssseeee oooonnnn ssssttttaaaarrrrttttuuuupppp. +o If you have both the nnnnssssssss____ffffaaaassssttttttttrrrraaaacccckkkk and websetup images installed, you will see that wwwweeeebbbbsssseeeettttuuuupppp will try to launch twice during a system reboot. Do not worry about this situation, it will not affect either product's functionnality of performance. +o If you are trying to start up a server instance in the Unix shell, you will need to do so as the user rrrrooooooootttt. This will allow the nnnnssss----hhhhttttttttppppdddd process to bind to port 80. %%%% ssssuuuu ---- #### ccccdddd ////vvvvaaaarrrr////nnnneeeettttssssccccaaaappppeeee////ffffaaaassssttttttttrrrraaaacccckkkk////hhhhttttttttppppdddd----hhhhoooossssttttnnnnaaaammmmeeee #### ....////ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt +o The file /_v_a_r/_n_e_t_s_c_a_p_e/_f_a_s_t_t_r_a_c_k/_u_s_e_r_d_b/_d_b_s_w_i_t_c_h._c_o_n_f must be readable by either the owner or group of each server instance. For example, if you create a FastTrack Server instance "httpd-test" and specify the sssseeeerrrrvvvveeeerrrr uuuusssseeeerrrr to be "uidtest", who is a member of UNIX group "gidtest", then the configuration file _d_b_s_w_i_t_c_h._c_o_n_f must be owned by either user "uidtest" or group "gidtest". Failure to do so will result in the process uuuuxxxxwwwwddddoooogggg spinning forever. +o If your server is serving pages from a CDROM and caches pages, it may not release the CDROM. For example if the SGI SysTour is linked to /CDROM you will need to add the following to the _o_b_j._c_o_n_f file of your server: <<<<OOOObbbbjjjjeeeecccctttt ppppppppaaaatttthhhh====////vvvvaaaarrrr////wwwwwwwwwwww////hhhhttttddddooooccccssss////SSSSyyyyssssTTTToooouuuurrrr////****>>>> PPPPaaaatttthhhhCCCChhhheeeecccckkkk ffffnnnn====""""DDDDoooonnnnttttCCCCaaaacccchhhheeee"""" <<<<////OOOObbbbjjjjeeeecccctttt>>>> +o You may be able to improve the performance of your server by disabling Server Parsed HTML for .shtml files. This is configurable on your Admin server under "Content Mgmt -> Parse HTML". Note that this will disable some of Outbox's functionality. - 2 - +o If you notice that your server's performance is sluggish or not returning pages fast enough then you should try increasing the number of processes, minimum number of threads, and maximum number of threads. However, doing so will increase the memory footprint. Please check the SGI Web Performance Tuning Guide for more details on these parameters. +o This release of the FastTrack server has changed the way it is returning a 333300002222 redirect message. When you are asking for the header of an URL that is being redirected to another URL, the 2.x FastTrack returns a HHHHTTTTTTTTPPPP////1111....0000 333300002222 FFFFoooouuuunnnndddd line. The new FastTrack instead will send you a HHHHTTTTTTTTPPPP////1111....1111 222200000000 OOOOKKKK line. This causes the /_u_s_r/_s_b_i_n/_l_a_u_n_c_h_D_e_m_o_s program to think that the server is not present and will not present the Demos via the Netscape browser. To correct this, the /_u_s_r/_s_b_i_n/_l_a_u_n_c_h_D_e_m_o_s script has been modified to detect either the 333300002222 or 222200000000 return code. If you are installing the demonstration files after nnnnssssssss____ffffaaaassssttttttttrrrraaaacccckkkk has been installed, you will have to modify _l_a_u_n_c_h_D_e_m_o_s by hand. To do this, simply look for the line as: iiiiffff ((((////333300002222////)))) {{{{ and replace it by iiiiffff ((((////222200000000//// |||| ////333300002222////)))) {{{{ +o The InfoSearch(1) program relies on the FastTrack webserver to present documentation in HTML format. This release of FastTrack differs in behaviour when it comes to handling parsed-HTML files. The file /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_i_n_f_o_s_e_a_r_c_h/_C/_i_n_d_e_x._s_h_t_m_l now needs an extra line before the $$$$eeeexxxxeeeecccc ccccggggiiii line in order to have it execute properly. Upon installation we have modified that file to have a comment as the first line. If you are installing iiiinnnnffffoooosssseeeeaaaarrrrcccchhhh....sssswwww....sssseeeerrrrvvvveeeerrrr after nnnnssssssss____ffffaaaassssttttttttrrrraaaacccckkkk has been installed, you will need to modify the file as follows: <<<<!!!!-------- DDDDoooo nnnnooootttt rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee tttthhhhiiiissss ccccoooommmmmmmmeeeennnntttt lllliiiinnnneeee -------->>>> <<<<!!!!--------####eeeexxxxeeeecccc ccccggggiiii====""""////ccccggggiiii----bbbbiiiinnnn////iiiinnnnffffoooossssrrrrcccchhhh....ccccggggiiii""""-------->>>>
