goal

Changing the IP address for NetWare 6 WebAccess

cause

WebAccess is run from the Apache web server.  If the server's IP address is changed the Apache Web server must be modified to reflect the new address.

fix

To verify or change the IP address open SYS:\APACHE\CONF\ADMINSERV.CONF with a text editor like notepad or wordpad.  

This first section is the IP address for the standalone Apache Web server:

# Start Apache Services Port Configuration
Port 51080
Listen 192.168.1.1:51080
<IfModule mod_tls.c>
   SecureListen 192.168.1.1:51443 "SSL CertificateDNS"
</IfModule>
# End Apache Services Port Configuration

This section refers to the Web Manager:

# NetWare Web Manager config starts

Listen 192.168.1.1:2211
<IfModule mod_tls.c>
   SecureListen 192.168.1.1:2200 "SSL CertificateDNS"
#   Listen 192.168.1.1:2200
</IfModule>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:2200>
   ServerAdmin mymailname@mail.server
   DocumentRoot sys:/webapps/WebAdmin
   ServerName mcasey1.provo.novell.com
   ErrorLog sys:/novonyx/suitespot/admin-serv/logs/errors.txt
   CustomLog sys:/novonyx/suitespot/admin-serv/logs/access.txt common
   DefaultType text/html
   BrowserMatch "MSIE" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

# configuration for the /WebAdmin context ends.

   Redirect /iManage/ https://192.168.1.1:2200/eMFrame/iManage.html
   Redirect /iManage https://192.168.1.1:2200/eMFrame/iManage.html
   Include "SYS:/webapps/eMFrame/WEB-INF/eMFrame-apache.conf"
</VirtualHost>

SEARCH and REPLACE within the text editor can be used to make the necessary changes.  Make sure that all IP addresses within this file reflect the new IP address on the server.

After making the changes to this file down the apache web server by typing NVXADMDN at the server console.  Then restart the Apache Web Server by typing NVXADMUP at the server console.

Also, make sure the IP address changes are also made to the SYS:\ETC\HOSTS and SYS:\ETC\HOSTNAMES file on the server.
