You must have a Web server and Servlet Engine installed and operational before they can be configured for ArcIMS. For information on setting up your Web server and Servlet Engine visit http://support.esri.com/search/KbDocument.asp?dbid=25867. For supported Web servers and Servlet Engines, See Step 1: Verify system requirements. After you have installed your Web server and Servlet Engine you must verify that they are communicating with each other. To verify that your Web server and Servlet Engine are communicating see Verifying your Servlet Engine. If your Web server and Servlet Engine do not appear to be successfully communicating with each other, see your Servlet Engine's Web site for further information.
Your Web server and Servlet Engine can be configured automatically using the post installation setup, or they can be configured manually.
ServletExec 5.0 AS users
If you are using ServletExec 5.0 AS and you did not install it from the ArcIMS CD, you will need to verify that you are using ServletExec native adapter version 5.0c or greater. See http://www.newatlanta.com/biz/c/products/servletexec/self_help/faq/detail?faqId=94 for directions on determining the version of the ServletExec AS native adapter you have installed. ArcIMS Supports ServletExec 5.0 (patch level c or greater). If you do not have ServletExec 5.0 (patch level c or greater) installed you can obtain it from the ArcIMS CD or from the New Atlanta Web site.
To automatically configure your Web server and Servlet Engine use the post installation setup. You can run the post installation setup at any time from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS post installation. See the Web Server-Servlet Engine Configuration option for information on the following automated Web server Servlet Engine configurations:
Apache 1.3.x with ServletExec 4.2
Apache 2.0.4.x with ServletExec 5.0
Apache 2.0.4.x with Tomcat 4.1.xx (mod-jk2)
Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE) Web Server 6.0 sp5
Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE) Application Server 7.0
IIS with ServletExec 4.2/5.0
IIS with Tomcat 4.1.xx (with isapi_redirector.dll)
If you have Manager or Metadata Explorer installed, the post installation setup will also configure your Web server to work with the ArcIMS Services Administrator and the Metadata Explorer.
If you did not use the post installation to configure your Web server, you must do so manually. To manually configure your Web server and Servlet Engine for ArcIMS use these steps:
If you manually configured your Web server and Servlet Engine, and you will be using Metadata Explorer or the ArcIMS Services Administrator, verify your system requirements, install the features required, then configure your Web server for use with these features using the steps below:
Configuring your Web server for ArcIMS Metadata Explorer
Configuring your Web server for ArcIMS Service Administrator
After Configuring your Web server and Servlet engine, follow these steps to use the ArcIMS Diagnostics tool to test your ArcIMS installation:
Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > Diagnostics. The ArcIMS Diagnostics tool is displayed.
Select your Web server protocol, type your Web server name including domain, and type your port number. The default is 80.
Click 1 to test the ArcIMS Servlet Connector.
Click 2 to test the ArcIMS Application Server.
If these tests are successful, your ArcIMS Application Server and ArcIMS Servlet Connector are configured correctly.
If you receive an error message, select the error number in the dropdown list and click View. The error number and a description display. Follow the instructions in the description to fix the problem and try the Diagnostics tool again.
