Configuring a Netscape Web Server on Novell NetWare

To enable servlet support for the Netscape FastTrack or Enterprise Web Server for Novell NetWare:

  1. Run the NSGCFG.NCF file from the server console, or run the NSGCFG.BAT file from a client that has a drive mapped to the SYS volume of the server that you have installed the Servlet Gateway to.

    If you run the NSGCFG.BAT file from a client, you must start the batch file from the \JAVA\BIN directory for the program to work correctly. This will launch a java configuration utility that will update the obj.conf file for your web server, and the nvxwebdn.ncf file in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory. The utility saves backups of these files as obj.orig and nvxwebdn.orig as necessary.
  1. After the utility has completed, restart your web server.
  • You can type the following commands at the system console:

    nvxwebdn
    nvxwebup
  • You can use the administration console from your browser. (The administration console typically has a URL similar to http://server:adminport.)
    Click the OFF|ON button next to the server you want to shut down. Then click the button again to restart it.
  1. New installations will now use the ServletGateway.properties file mentioned in the General Configuration. To upgrade existing installations of the Servlet Gateway to use this file, find the line in the obj.conf file that looks like:

    Init fn="ServletGateInit" javaparms="-mp0 -envCWD=sys:/java/servlets-classpath
    $SERVLETCLASSPATH" requestthreads=1


    and change it to:

    Init fn="ServletGateInit" propertyfile="SYS:/java/servlets/ServletGateway.properties"
  1. Copy the information in the ServletGateway.sample file to the ServletGateway.properties file.
  2. Edit the information that you just copied into the ServletGateway.properties file to reflect the correct paths for your installation.
    If you have made modifications to the javaparms parameter in the old line, copy these changes to the java.args property in your properties file.
  3. Restart the web server (as described in Step 2) for the changes to take effect.
  4. Verify that iASP is running correctly.
