Configuring Sun ONE (iPlanet) to Accept Siebel Web Server Extension

---

If your Web server runs under the Solaris operating system, it is crucial that you configure the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server to accept the changes that the Siebel Web Server Extension (eappweb) installer makes to the Sun ONE (iPlanet) server configuration files after you install Siebel Web Server Extension. Otherwise, changes that you may make in the future to the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server configuration will overwrite the changes made by the Siebel installation script.

To make sure that the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server accepts changes made by Siebel Web Server Extension

Navigate to the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server Administration page. (For instructions, see the Sun ONE (iPlanet) documentation.)
Click the button that shows the server instance on which the Siebel Web Server Extension was installed.

This takes you to the Server Preferences page for the instance.

On the upper-right side of the Server Preferences page, click Apply.

This displays another page with a warning message:

WARNING: The configuration files have been edited by hand. Use this button to load the latest configuration files.

Click the Load Configuration Files button.

This displays the message:

Success! The most recent config files have been loaded.

This message indicates that the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server has accepted the changes made to it by the installer.

Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server References to the eapps.cfg File

The Siebel installer adds a reference to the Sun ONE (iPlanet) server configuration file magnus.conf, located within the Sun ONE (iPlanet) configuration directory during installation.

A typical line the installer would add to magnus.conf might resemble the following example:

Init fn="swe-init"config-file="/SWEAPP_ROOT/bin/eapps.cfg"
siebel-home="/eappweb"

To locate magnus.comf

Navigate to the following path:

Sun_ONE_Web_Server_Root/https-your server instance name/config

NOTE:  It may be directly under the config directory or within a subdirectory of config.
