The new zone URL has the following format:
http://virtual_hostname[:port]
where virtual_hostname is the hostname or fully qualified domain name of the Novell Vibe zone that you have set up in DNS.
All zones use the same port number as the physical Vibe site. If you have the Vibe site configured to listen on your browser default port, you do not need to include the port number in the zone URL. How you configure your Vibe site to listen on the browser default port varies by platform.

Specify the desired port numbers when you run the Vibe Installation program, as described in |
To perform an initial test of the Vibe zone, add the zone URL to the hosts file on your local workstation where you run your browser. The location of the hosts file and the format of the line to add vary by platform:
|
Linux |
/etc/hosts ip_address vibe_zone_url hostname 172.16.5.18 www.myvibesite.com vibe1 |
|
Windows |
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ip_address vibe_zone_url 172.16.5.18 www.myvibesite.com |
Specify the zone URL in your Web browser.
http://www.myvibesite.com
Log in to the new zone by using the default administrator username (admin) and password (admin).
From this, you can see that each zone has its own site administrator who has administrative rights only within that particular zone.
Immediately change the site administrator password to a secure password of your own choosing, as described in Accessing Your Basic Vibe Site as the Site Administrator
in Basic Installation
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Installation Guide.
After you can access the new zone successfully following the instructions in Step 1, have your network administrator make comparable changes to DNS so that the zone URL is recognized across your company or across the Internet as needed.
