Netra j Web Servers

Netra j requires two web servers. One web server resides at port 81 and serves the pages of the Netra j Administration Interface to a web browser. The other resides at port 80 and delivers the HotJava Views application to JavaStation computers during the JavaStation boot sequence.

Sun WebServer software is installed on your machine during the Netra j installation, and Netra j configures web servers at ports 80 and 81 as follows:

• Netra j automatically configures a Sun WebServer at port 81.

• Netra inspects port 80, which is the default port for web servers. If a web server is not running on your machine at port 80, Netra j configures a Sun WebServer at that port. If a web server is running at port 80 (Netscape Enterprise, for example), Netra j leaves the existing web server intact but does not configure it for use with Netra j.

To Configure an Existing Web Server for Use With Netra j

1. Create a symbolic link called jdt from the web server's document root directory to the HotJava Views document directory.

   # ln -s /opt/SUNWjdt/lib web_server_document_root/jdt

2. Create a symbolic link called jdt from the web server's cgi-bin directory to the HotJava Views cgi-bin directory.

   # ln -s /opt/SUNWjdt/cgi-bin web_server_cgi_bin_directory/jdt

3. Provide the web server with access to cgi programs and documents.

   In the access control file for the web server, provide access to web_server_document_root and to web_server_cgi_bin_directory.
