Configuration Issues when Running the Server as a CGI Process

Because the AnswerBook2 server follows standard web protocols, you can run the AnswerBook2 server as a CGI process on an existing server, rather than as the default NSAPI server. For information on how to configure your server to run this way, see "Running the AnswerBook2 Documentation Server as a CGI Process".

If you run your documentation server as a CGI process, the following configuration settings will not display on the View Configuration Settings page of the Admin GUI:

• Maximum Threads

• Maximum Server Request

• Server Configuration Path

• Server User

• Plug-in File

• Mime File

• Doc Root

• Log Directory

The only option available on the Modify Server Configuration page will be turning on or turning off access control. All other functions will not display.

The following options for the ab2admin command will not work:

• -o access_on

• -o access_off

• -o error_off

• -o error_on

• -o modify_server_name

• -o modify_server_port
