Configuring the Netscape Web Server For the NSAPI Messenger
You must perform the following tasks to configure a Web server to work with the WebSpeed NSAPI Messenger:
Editing the Netscape Web Server Configuration File
A Web server uses information in its configuration file to recognize the WebSpeed NSAPI Messenger. The configuration file for the Netscape Enterprise Server is named
install-dir
/https-
host-name
/config/obj.conf.
(If you are using the Fast Track Server, refer to your Web server documentation for the name of the server’s configuration file.)Make a copy of the file before you modify it so that you can restore the original configuration. Table 8–2 describes the changes you must make to
obj.conf
.
Each line you add to
obj.conf
must be on a single line. Do not add line breaks within a command line. Use forward slashes (/) in pathnames. Here is an excerpt from a sampleobj.conf
file (the additions that you must make for the WebSpeed Messenger are bold):
Editing the Netscape Web Server Start File
The Netscape Web server must be able to locate the WebSpeed Messenger and the resources that the Messenger requires for configuration information and messages. Edit the Netscape Web server’s start file (for Netscape Web servers, this file is
install-dir
/https-
hostname
/start
) to set the environment variables described in Table 8–3.
Table 8–3: NSAPI Messenger Settings Environment Variable Setting DLC The WebSpeed Messenger installation path PROMSGS The pathname of the PROMSGS file:/

WRKDIR The pathname of your working directory LD_LIBRARY_PATH Shared library search path (on Solaris, Compaq Tru64 UNIX and Linux only) SHLIB_PATH Shared library search path (on HP-UX only) LIBPATH1 Shared library search path (on AIX only)
Here is a sample start file for AIX that includes the necessary WebSpeed information:
