Lotus Domino Server
How to configure Lotus Domino as the Web Server for Host Publisher.
Introduction
Lotus Domino is the Lotus Notes Server product. It includes a Web Server function.
Note that Domino Go is a completely different product, and none of these instructions apply to it in any way whatsoever.
These instructions were developed and tested using Lotus Domino 4.6a for Windows/32. Other versions and platforms may be
different.
The scenario described here configures the Host Publisher CGI adaptor to get requests from Domino and forward them to the
Host Publisher Dispatcher. The Dispatcher and Page Server can be on the same machine as Domino or on different machines. It
doesn't matter as long as the machines have the capacity necessary.
Summary
Details for Domino
Configuring the Domino Web Server is difficult, at least the first time you have to do it. Here are some hints.
- To do some of the configuration, look in the local address book under Servers to find your server. Edit that record, and open the section titled "HTTP Server".
- Verify that the CGI directory is domino\cgi-bin; if not, either change it to that, or copy vgluecgi.exe to your CGI directory instead of the domino\cgi-bin directory.
- Verify that the CGI URL path is /cgi-bin. If not, you might have to change the first part of the right side of the URL mappings listed above.
- To enter the URL mappings, you must have a local Notes database named "domcfg.nsf". If you don't have one, create a new Notes database with that filename, using the "domcfg.ntf" template. The database name can be anything. e.g. "Web server configuration".
- Open the database.
- Pull down the Create menu and select "Mapping URL -> URL". Leave IP Address blank, enter a Comment if you want, set First URL path to /HostPublisher, and Second URL Path to /cgi-bin/vgluecgi.exe/HostPublisher. Save the new mapping (using Control-S or the File/Save menu).
- Repeat, adding a "/*" to each URL path in the second mapping as shown above.
- Restart the server.
