Configure a Netscape Web Server on NetWare

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

  1. Run NSGCFG.NCF from the server console, or NSGCFG.BAT 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 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 SYS:\SYSTEM. It saves backups of these files as obj.orig and nvxwebdn.orig if necessary.

  1. Once the utility has completed, restart your web server by typing the following at the system console:

   nvxwebdn

   nvxwebup

You can also restart the server using the administration console from your browser. It typically has a URL similar to http://server:adminport.

  1. Click the OFF|ON button next to the server you want to administer to shut it down. Then click it again to restart.

  2. New installations will now use the ServletGateway.properties file mentioned in 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 ServletGateway.sample to ServletGateway.properties or create a properties file that has the necessary entries in it.

If you copy the sample file, make sure and edit the properties contained in it 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

  1. Finally, restart the web server (as described in Step 2 or 3) for the changes to take effect, then proceed to Testing Your Setup.
