Introduction

Sun WebServer (SWS) is the default web server provided with the Solaris version of Unix. If you do not use Solaris, or use the Apache web server, skip this section. It is only necessary to set up SWS if you require Web access to Vitalware, otherwise this step may be skipped.

In the notes below client refers to the name of the client directory for the current installation. The term ~vw is used to refer to the user vw's home directory. This is normally /home/vw.

Requirements

• SWS 1.0 (Sun WebServer), SUNWhttpr, SUNWhttpu, SUNWhttpv packages

Installation Notes (SWS)

1. Log in as root.
2. Enter cd /etc/http
3. Enter vi httpd.conf
4. Add the following lines to the server parameters:
   
   map "/vwclient/" "~vw/client/html/release/"
   map "/vwmmclient/" "~vw/client/multimedia/"
   map "/cgi-vwclient/" "~vw/client/html/cgi-vw/" "cgi"
   
   
5. Save the file and close it.
6. Locate the process id number pid for the httpd process and enter kill -HUP pid, to restart the web server.

URL Setup

The are two URLs used to access KE Vitalware from the Internet and from an Intranet:

Internet http://hostname/cgi-vwclient/vwwebclient.exe?form=vw/start
Intranet http://hostname/cgi-vwsclient/vwwebclient.exe?form=vw/start

To restrict access via the Intranet interface you need to modify the access.acl file located in the /etc/http directory.
