- TCP/IP reconfiguration
-
If you reconfigure TCP/IP, any Netscape servers installed on your system
might be improperly configured.
To correct this, you must edit configuration files as described in
``Deferring or reconfiguring network configuration''.
See
``Default Netscape FastTrack Server values''
for default installation values for the Netscape FastTrack server.
- Configuring SNMP utilities
-
SNMP utilities are automatically installed,
but must be configured, on SCO OpenServer 5.0 systems.
- Connecting to the Policy Manager
-
After installing one or more Netscape servers,
your system might report failures to connect to the
Policy Manager (pmd) when users attempt to log in.
To fix this, enter the following commands as root:
/etc/tunek -l user -n 100
cd /etc/conf/cf.d
./link_unix
After the kernel relinks, use
shutdown(ADM)
to reboot your system.
(See
``Relinking the kernel''
(http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/HANDBOOK/kernel_relinking.html)
in the
SCO OpenServer Handbook
(http://osr5doc.sco.com:457/HANDBOOK/CONTENTS.html).)
- Enabling virtual domains with secure servers
-
If you enable virtual domains on a system that
has a secure web server (port 443) installed,
the secure server is no longer accessible from the
Internet Manager.
However, you can still administer the server from the
Netscape Administration Server.
- Using Netscape LiveWire with Netscape FastTrack Server
-
When using Netscape LiveWire with the Netscape FastTrack Server,
install the Strong Encryption Supplement prior to installing Netscape LiveWire.
If you install the Strong Encryption Supplement after you install
Netscape LiveWire, you will no longer be able to configure
Netscape LiveWire from the Netscape Administration Server.
If this problem occurs, add the following line to the
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/bin/httpd/admin/html/index.lst
file, immediately following the Java line:
--Option:livewire,LiveWire
The next time you load the Programs page in the Netscape
Administration Server, you will once again see ``LiveWire''.
- Editing access control files
-
The directories
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/httpacl,
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/authdb,
and
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/userdb
contain access control and user authentication information.
The permissions for these directories are set to 0711 to allow
the Netscape Administration Server to write files in them.
To modify these databases, use the Netscape Administration Server.
After making changes to the databases, change the permissions for
the directories listed above to 0700 to prevent shell users from
gaining access to this information.
Then, stop and restart the server so these changes will take effect.
To make additional changes to the databases, first change the
permission to 0711.
After making the changes, return the permissions to 0700.
- Setting Access Control (ACL) for nested directories
-
Setting ACL for nested directories does not work.
For example, you cannot set access control for user1 to
be able to read
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/docs/user1
and also have user2 access only the
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/docs/user1/user2 subdirectory.
Instead, you must set up parallel directories, such as:
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/docs/user1
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/docs/user2
- Archiving logs
-
When trying to archive a log, the Netscape FastTrack Server stops.
The confirmation dialog says that the server is sent a restart signal,
but the server does not restart.
If this occurs, restart the server manually by selecting
System Settings->On.
- Log files renamed
-
To prevent conflicts with the old log file format,
each server's log files are renamed during the update.
Three standard files are used for logging:
one for access messages, one for errors,
and one for messages about a secure server, if one is running.
These files are named:
name.DD.MON-ftpudate
Where:
name --- access, errors, or secure
DD --- day of month update is installed
MON --- month update is installed
For example, if the update is installed on October 31st,
the server using /usr/internet/ns_httpd/httpd-80
as its root directory would use these log files:
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/httpd-80/logs/access-31-Oct-ftupdate
/usr/internet/ns_httpd/httpd-80/logs/errors-31-Oct-ftupdate
- Running Java
-
If you select Programs->Java,
then specify the Java directory, the Netscape FastTrack Server stops.
The confirmation dialog says that the server is sent a restart signal,
but the server does not restart.
If this occurs, restart the server manually by selecting
System Settings->On.
- Removing Netscape FastTrack Server from SCO Internet FastStart 1.1
-
Removal of the Netscape FastTrack Server from an SCO Internet FastStart 1.1 system
is unsupported and might leave your system in an unusable state.
- Removing database with non-alphanumeric name
-
If you create a database with non-alphanumeric characters
(such as ~!@#$%^&*()_+}{":?> or <),
you get a message that the database does not exist and you
might not be able to remove the database.
- Warnings in Netscape Server log when running Tarantella
-
When the Netscape FastTrack server is run with Tarantella,
it might hang and produce warnings about failed calls to accept
in the log.
These are harmless, and can be ignored.
Restart the server as usual.
