This appendix contains information about how to install and configure Netscape Communicator and Netscape FastTrack Server.
This release of DIGITAL UNIX contains Version 4.05 of the Netscape Communicator.
Netscape Communicator integrates the Netscape Navigator World Wide Web
browser with Netscape's Messenger Mailbox, Collabra
Discussions, and Page Composer components. The
application can be invoked through its CDE desktop icon, which is located in
the CDE Application Manager's Desktop_Apps folder. Netscape
Communicator can also be invoked directly from the
command line by running
/usr/bin/X11/netscape.
Detailed help on Netscape Communicator can be accessed through the
application's help menus.
A sample resource defaults file for Netscape Communicator can be found at
/usr/doc/netscape/Netscape.ad.
Comments within this file indicate possible settings for each resource.
It is not necessary to install this file. It is provided for informational
purposes.
The file
/usr/bin/X11/netscape
is actually a shell script that performs the following actions:
$HOME/.netscape
does not already exist. If you have a file or directory in
$HOME
called
.netscape,
it is highly recommended that you rename
it prior to running this version. If you do not,
there is a possibility that you could lose data
contained in this directory (for example, old preferences,
bookmarks, cookies, and so on).
preferences.js
file does not
already exist at
$HOME/.netscape/preferences.js,
one is copied there from
/usr/doc/netscape/default-netscape-preferences.
MOZILLA_HOME
environment variable is set to point to the Communicator installation directory
/usr/lib/netscape.
The Communicator java class files, nethelp files, plugins, registry, and so on,
are all installed under this directory. See the
/usr/lib/netscape/README
file for more information on
MOZILLA_HOME
and other environment variables.
/usr/bin/X11/real-netscape
is invoked.
The DIGITAL UNIX Installation Guide contains more information about how to set up Netscape. See Chapter 6, which covers postinstallation setup tasks.
This release of DIGITAL UNIX contains Version 3.01 of the Netscape FastTrack Server, an easy-to-use entry-level Web server designed to let you create and manage a Web site.
The Netscape FastTrack Server is provided in the DIGITAL UNIX
OSFNETSCAPEFASTTRACK301
subset on the
DIGITAL UNIX 4.0E Associated Products, Volume 1
CD-ROM. To install FastTrack on your system, perform the following
steps:
/usr/sbin/setld
software subset management utility to install the
OSFNETSCAPEFASTTRACK301
subset. This will install the FastTrack server in the
/usr/opt/netscape/suitespot
directory.
#
cd /usr/opt/netscape/suitespot
readme.txt
file:
#
more readme.txt
This file contains information from Netscape about the FastTrack kit.
Because you have installed FastTrack from the
OSFNETSCAPEFASTTRACK301
subset and not from a CD-ROM that Netscape ships, you can ignore steps
1-5 of the installation instructions, which pertain to installing from
the Netscape CD-ROM.
ns-setup
program and following the instructions in the
readme.txt
file:
#
./ns-setup
The installation program will query you for several pieces of information and then configure the FastTrack server.
The installation of FastTrack Version 3.01 will not update FastTrack Version 2.01 servers installed on your system. If you have an existing FastTrack 2.01 server installed on your system and wish to upgrade it to version 3.01, use the following process:
