moving site NSBS5.0-NES to NSBS6.5sp1-Apache2
|
|
|
| Hi!
My intention is to move my actual domain and WEB site to a new tree and
hardware. The old system is NSBS 5.0 with Netware Enterprise WEB Server.
The new one will be NSBS 6.5 with Apache 2.
I already installed 2 server (NSBS 6.5 sp1) on a new tree.
The first server is a BM (Border Manager) and the second is dedicated
for WEB. A third one will be for GW (GroupWise) and other services.
On the second (WEB) server I installed the 'exteNd Application Server',
hopping it will install all AMP components and all other WEB services
too (FTP, Search Server, etc.).
After moving to the new WEB system \ hardware we will develop
interactive eLearning including animation and other media using mysql to
store students \ users progress \ info. (I'm familiar with Macromedia
Dreamweaver).
I'm new to Apache and the other NAMP, exteNd & Search server.
First I need assistance to move my WEB site from the old tree \ hardware
\ system (NSBS5.0 \ Novell enterprise Web server) to the new NSBS6.5sp1
Web server with Apache 2:
1. I understand I need a second instance. How to define \ run it?
2. Can I preserve the original Apache Web root?
3. How to add a new Web root? I wish to put my site in different volume
is it right?
4. I have already a domain on the original site www.kalmanovitz.co.il.
5. I know i will need to define NAT in the BM server.
6. ON the old site are a lot of usual HTML pages (with little \ short
java scripts) not connected to any DBase, part of the pages with Hebrew
"funny" characters written from left to right ;-).
I believe it will run "as is" on any platform \ system, am I wrong?
Any other suggestions are well come.
TIA
Nanu

On 6.5 yo already have two instances, the administrative one and the
general purpose one. You can easily use he latter. Just comment out the
"welcome" line from httpd.conf and plonk your HTML files in HTDOCS.

Yes.

Yes. Move it off sys. Just change the document root directive in httpd.conf

It should, yes.
Search on the Novell site. You wil find lots of examples there. Also have a
look at www.apache.org. The O'Reilly book about Apache is also a good
reference.
The really cool thing about Apache is that it is completely configured
through text files. Print out httpd.conf and read it. It is heavly
documented. Also read up on Tomcat for when you want to do JSP and stuff.

1. Do you mean to comment out the following "include" line?
# Include the welcome page configuration
Include "SYS:/adminsrv/webapps/welcome/web-inf/welcome-apache.conf"
2. How can I see what this page displayed once before I make the change?
Is it page displayed at the server IP private address
(http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/welcome/index.html)?
3. Is it possible to continue to see the above "welcome" page for users
who want to know more about the system and to have my site at a
different private \ locale address. How?
4. I have the sensation that you and others here are not enthusiastic to
support the Novell Apache Manager tool. Am I right? Why?
TIA

Let me check those at work tomorrow.

I got used to editing httpd.conf long before that tool existed. The Apache
manager is a great tool, especially for managing many servers, but for what
I need and editor works best.

You can just copy the folowing:
# NetWare configuration starts
Alias /welcome "SYS:/adminsrv/webapps/welcome"
<Directory "SYS:/adminsrv/webapps/welcome">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Into your httpd.conf. This will let you access the welcome page as
www.yoursite.com/welcome

Yes. It should work. I have not tested it myself though.
