Novell NetStorage


Changing iFolder IP Address after NetStorage Installation

If you change the iFolderTM server IP address, DNS name, or port number after NetStorage has been installed, you must either reinstall NetStorage or edit the XSYNCNSP\IFOLDER SERVER registry setting to reflect the change. NetStorage will not function properly without this change.


Changing Apache Port Numbers after NetStorage Installation

If you change the Apache Web server port numbers after NetStorage has been installed, you must either reinstall NetStorage or edit the XSYNCNSP\SECURE PORT registry setting to reflect the change. NetStorage will not function properly without this change.


Logging In as a Different User

If you are using Windows 98 and Internet Explorer, and after logging in to NetStorage you intend to log in again as a different user, you must first delete Internet Explorer cookies and log out from Windows 98 or you will not be able to log in again. This is necessary because Windows 98 retains user information and NetStorage cookies are created that are user specific.

When using Windows 2000 and Microsoft Web Folders, you must enable the Launch Folder Windows in a Separate Process option by doing the following:

  1. Double-click My Computer and then click Tools > Folder Options > View.

  2. Check the Launch Folder Windows in a Separate Process check box.

    3.

Internet Explorer Unable to Open Some Web Folders

If you use Microsoft Web Folders with NetStorage to create a new folder, you might not be able to open that folder using Internet Explorer.


Hosts File Not Usable by NetStorage

NetStorage cannot use the SYS:\ETC\HOSTS file to resolve DNS names. If you have applications that can use DNS names (such as iFolder), your DNS names must be registered with a valid DNS server which is identified in the SYS:\ETC\RESOLVE.CFG file. The DNS server is normally registered automatically during the NetWare 6 installation.


NetStorage Help Not Accessible When Using NetWare WebAccess

NetStorage online help is not accessible when both of the following conditions exist:

To make NetStorage help accessible, copy the SYS:NETSTORAGE directory from the server where NetStorage is installed to the server where NetWare WebAccess is installed and add the following lines to the SYS:APACHE\CONF\ADMINSERV.CONF file on the NetWare WebAccess server.

Alias /NetStorage "SYS:/webapps/NetStorage"

<Directory "SYS:/webapps/NetStorage">

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

   AllowOverride None

       Order deny,allow

   Allow from all

</Directory>


Character Set Issues with Netscape

If you use the Netscape* browser to open NetStorage, square boxes will be displayed in place of some characters. To resolve this, click View > Character Set > Unicode (UTF-8) and then click View > Character Set > Set Default Character Set.
