Adding a New Virtual Directory on Web Server

---

Virtual directories are created automatically when you install the SWSE.

However, you may in some cases want to create your own virtual directory, for example, to be able to test features such as Web site single sign-on, so that you can point to an already existing Siebel Object Manager.

To do this, you would add the new virtual directory to either obj.conf (Sun ONE [iPlanet]) or httpd.conf (IHS and HP-Apache2), as appropriate, and as described below.

Following this, you must add the name of the new virtual directory to the appropriate connect string in the eapps.cfg file under $SWEAPP_ROOT/bin.

To add a new virtual directory for Sun ONE (iPlanet)

Open the obj.conf file to view the existing virtual directories and add a line as shown below.

NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/myvirdir_lang" dir="/export/home/siebel/public/lang"

where:

myvirdir_lang = the name of the language-specific virtual directory.

lang = the Siebel code for the language.

To add a new virtual directory for IHS

Open the httpd.conf file to view the existing virtual directories and add a line as shown below.

Alias /myvirdir_lang /export/home/swe/public/lang

To add a new virtual directory for HP-Apache2

Open the httpd.conf file to view the existing virtual directories and add lines like those shown below.

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

where:

www.domain.tld = the new top level domain.

/www/domain = the directory path to the virtual domain's root.
