I am reposting this message - I thought I posted it yesterday; however, I
haven't seen it. If it is a duplicate I apologize - Thanks.

I am running Netware 6.5 sp3 with Apache 2.0.52.

I installed the default configuration and have two instances running. I
tried to use the Web Manager to configure apache but couldn't figure out
which instance I was configuring. I manually edited the httpd.conf in the
apache2 directory just to include my ip address on the listening ports and
add my email address for notification.

So, whether I enter the IP address or the server name, I get an iManager
login screen
(../nps/servlet/portalservice?NPService=iManagerContainer&setContainerOn=true).
I thought it was supposed to go to the welcome screen.

Anyway, when I log in I am directed to the same link but a different screen
depending on the browser I use. When using firefox, I am directed to
iManager. When using IE, the left indicates Novell exteND Director (when
using the server name) and iManager (when using the ip address). The
address in all cases is
https://slg_srv1/nps/servlet/portal...ype=PortalData.
So, though I have no problem with using firefox, my users are on IE. Also,
I am not sure that it should be taking me to iManager.

Both conf files have the ip address as the server name.

The httpd.conf file has:
Listen x.x.x.x:80
SecureListen x.x.x.x:443 "SSL CertificateDNS"

The adminserv.conf has:
Listen x.x.x.x:2211
SecureListen 0.0.0.0:2200 "SSL CertificateDNS"
(literally, the files has 0.0.0.0 as the ip address. The x's are the actual
server ip address.

So, I actually don't know what to ask as far as my problem. I just know
something isn't right. Part of this my be simply because I don't know what
should be happening.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Janet

Duplicate.
It is. I posted a reply to you earlier.

That happens if your httpd.conf includes the "welcome" file. Normally
httpd.conf is your to play with. Are you trying to set it up to host
your web site?

I appreciate you reposting your reply, I can not locate my previous post, I
even reset my newsgroup and downloaded everything again. Anyway...

Okay, I changed the default page to the welcome page and that did the trick
to bring users to the correct page. That part of the problem was clearly a
learning curve thing. So, I have made progress.

The Web Search 3.0 brings up the error:
Virtual Search Server not found: The request was: query0=netware
unless I use the IP address.

When I log in to Virtual Office (which I just installed) I am taken to the
blank page mentioned previously (Novell exteNd Director).

My purpose for even playing with any of this is to get an idea of what was
happening. I intend on deploying Virtual Office to my users. I haven't
configured anything yet after the install. But, I think the issue with
having to use the IP address has something to do with the way I have dns set
up.

Thanks,
Janet

Yes. It works when you use the IP address, right? Both Nsearch and VO? Did you
enter a domain suffix when you installed the server?

The IP address works for both Nsearch and VO. The domain suffix and server
name work for VO but neither of these work for Nsearch.

OK. Look at how the site is defined in the NSearch admin.
