Configuring the IBM Internet Connection Web server

When you have installed the gateway files for your operating system, you need to configure your Web server to find and recognize the Gateway files. You need to perform the tasks which are described in detail below:

The configuration is achieved by adding mapping statements to the httpd.cnf (httpd.conf on AIX, HP_UX, and Solaris) file on your Web server machine. Within this file you will find blocks of 'Service' statements, 'Exec' statements, and 'Pass' statements. Enter the required statements at the top of the appropriate block, before the default pass /* statement.

In the following entries gateway_dir is the path to the Gateway files directory for your installation, and docs_dir is the path to the documentation files directory for your installation.
