Installing WebAccess to Unsupported Web Servers

If necessary, you can run the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications on an unsupported Web server as long as the Web server supports a Java servlet engine that is JSDK 2.0 and JDK* 1.1.6 compatible. However, the Installation program does not install the applications to other Web servers, which means you must manually install and configure them. When you run the Installation program, deselect the options to install the WebAccess Application and WebPublisher Application, install the WebAccess Agent, then complete the following steps to install the applications:

  1. Unzip webaccess.zip to the root of the network server volume where the Web server resides.

    The webaccess.zip file and the ZIP files referred to in the next three steps are in the \internet\webacces\other directory of each GroupWise 6.5 Support Pack.

  2. Unzip webaccessdocs.zip to the Web server's document root directory.

  3. Unzip webaccessservlets.zip to the servlet root directory.

  4. Unzip webaccessjars.zip to a library or jar file directory on the network server (for example, you might want to create a \novell\lib directory), then add the jar files (ldapfilt.jar, ldapjdk.jar, njgwap.jar, njweb.jar, spellservlet.jar, xalan.jar, and xerces.jar) to the class path.

  5. Modify your Java engine's servlet properties file to include the settings provided in the sample WebAccess servlets.properties file.

    The WebAccess servlet.properties file is located in the \internet\webacces\other directory of each GroupWise 6.5 Support Pack.

  6. Modify the Templates.path setting in the webacc.cfg and webpub.cfg files, located in the \novell\webaccess and \novell\webpublisher directories, to replace java/servlets with the path to the servlet root directory.

  7. If you created the \novell directory structure in the location specified in Step 4 (the root of the volume where the Web server resides), the paths for the following settings in the webacc.cfg and webpub.cfg should already be correct. If not, you need to modify the paths to make them correct from the perspective of the Web server.

    File.Upload.path
    Log.path
    Security.Timeout.path
    Provider.GWAP.Config.file
    Provider.LDAP.Config.file (webacc.cfg only)

  8. Copy the index.html file to the Web server's document root directory.

    You can replace your Web server's current default home page with this file, or you can rename the file and link to it from your current default home page.

  9. Copy the commgr.cfg file, located in the WebAccess gateway home directory (domain\wpgate\webac65a), to the \novell\webaccess directory and the \novell\webpublisher directory.
