NetWare Enterprise Web Server


No NDS Replica on the Web Server

If the Web server does not have an NDS® replica, users cannot access private pages through the Web server. Users are allowed to authenticate, but the page access returns a 404 error.

To avoid this problem, make sure the Web server has an NDS replica.


Internet Explorer Issues

Folder operations in WebDAV have limitations. When you copy a folder to another folder of the same name, Internet Explorer sends a request to delete the original folder and its contents before it copies the new folder.

To update a folder and its contents with a folder of the same name in another location, copy the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself to the target destination.


ActiveX Controls

If icons such as those for Users, Groups, and Organizational Units are missing from your My Network folder, check the security settings in Internet Explorer. Security settings must allow ActiveX Controls to be downloaded and run. When the following message appears, accept the module to allow it to run:

Novell DAVICONS.OCX Signed ActiveX Controls Being Downloaded

If your Web folders still do not display the icons, you must repair Internet Explorer 5 by doing the following:

  1. From your desktop, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

  2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

  3. Click Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 > Change/Remove > Repair Internet Explorer.

  4. Restart your system if required.


INDEX.HTML Renamed

When upgrading to NetWare 6 from an earlier version of NetWare, the file INDEX.HTML in the document root of the Enterprise Web Server (volume:\NOVONYX\SUITESPOT\DOCS) might be renamed to INDEX_ENTERPRISE.HTML. This occurs when the new NetWare 6 default home page is installed as INDEX.HTML.
