This is what I did to integrate the Help stuff that comes with AIX into the normal Apache web server. Presuming you have Apache already installed and running normally, cd /usr/HTTPServer/conf and modify httpd.conf to add a VirtualHost stanza as follows: Listen 80 Listen 8080 DocumentRoot /usr/docsearch/html ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/docsearch/gi-bin/ ScriptAlias /icons/ /usr/docsearch/html/ Then /usr/HTTPServer/bin/apachectl graceful ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also had to putz around with the configuration a bit. For example, some environment variables get set in /etc/environment when you go through smitty web_configure or the long way is, smitty, then select System Environments Internet and Documentation Services Namely, DEFAULT_BROWSER=netscape DOCUMENT_SERVER_MACHINE_NAME=localhost DOCUMENT_SERVER_PORT=8080 CGI_DIRECTORY=/var/docsearch/cgi-bin DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY=/usr/docsearch/html Invoking the docsearch program, calls /usr/docsearch/docsearch which calls /usr/bin/defaultbrowser to call the default browser. The problem was when the DEFAULT_BROWSER environment variable was set to just "netscape", that is, not fully-qualified, if I were cd'd into my aixnotes directory where there exists a non-executable netscape file, /usr/bin/defaultbrowser did the wrong thing. I had to change /etc/environment to be DEFAULT_BROWSER=/local/bin/netscape I also had to change my /local/bin/netscape front end to pass along any parameters 'cause /usr/docsearch/docsearch called Netscape with a beginning page to start at as its first parameter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Commands page I like will be at http://jasper:8080/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixgen/wbinfnav/CmdsRefTop.htm -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
