After installing ArcIMS, you must configure your Web server for ArcIMS. If your Web server and servlet engine are not operational, contact your system administrator before you proceed. See www.newatlanta.com for information on problems with ServletExec.
Verify that the following items are at <ServletExec Installation Directory>\ServletExec AS\se-<instance-name>\Servlets:
com directory
Esrimap_prop
ServletConnector_Res.properties
ServletConnector_Res_en_US.properties
WMSEsrimap_prop
If you can not verify the above:
On Windows NT, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services; on Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Component Services and chose Services on the Tree tab; on Windows XP, choose Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Component Services and click Services on the Tree tab.
Stop the Apache and Servlet Exec services. Then navigate to <ArcIMS Installation Directory>\ArcIMS\Connectors\Servlet and copy the items to <ServletExec Installation Directory>\ServletExec AS\se-<instance-name>\Servlets.
Navigate to <ServletExec Installation Directory>\ServletExec AS\se-<instance-name>\Servlets and open Esrimap_prop with a text editor (such as Notepad).
Rename the AppServerMachine variable "APPSMACHINE" with the name or IP address of the machine where the ArcIMS Application Server is installed. Change AppServerClientPort if you are using a non-default client port.
Start the Apache and ServletExec services.
After installing ArcIMS, you must create virtual directories for Manager, Output, and Website. A virtual directory is a mapped location on the Web server to a physical path.
Note: If you browsed to the location of your Web server root directory to create directories for Output and Website (the Web Site Working Directories) during the ArcIMS installation, you don't need to create virtual directories for Output and Website.
On Windows NT, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services; on Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >Component Services and click Services on the Tree tab; on Windows XP, choose Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Component Services and click Services on the Tree tab.
Stop your Apache Web server.
In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <ArcIMS Installation Directory>\ArcIMS\Common\ApacheAlias.txt and copy the contents of the file. Close the file.
In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <Apache Installation Directory>\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf. Under the line:
Alias /icons/ "<Apache Installation Directory/Apache2/icons/"
paste the lines from the ApacheAlias.txt file. Replace the paths in these lines with the appropriate paths where necessary.
Save and close the file.
Start your Apache Web Server and close the Services window.
Verify that the ArcIMS installation was successful.
a. Click Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS Diagnostics. The ArcIMS Diagnostics tool displays.
b. Select your Web server protocol, type your Web server name including domain, and type your port number. The default is 80.
C. Click 1 to test the ArcIMS Servlet Connector and 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.
