[John Meissner]

we were doing a restore of a directory under the main netscape server directory and one of the guys killed the netscape server. how do can we restart this without rebooting?

That looks like the init script for starting the Netscape Admin server. Once started, you can access it with a browser to start up the actual Web server(s). There is an init script for each of those, and also a "start" and "stop" script in the home directory for each Web server (we operate a test server and a production server on the same platform).

I launched netscape and browsed to http://servername but I didn't see anything for starting the server up... can you be a little more detailed about your previous post

Hi

we start our netscape admin server with
cd /opt/netscape/suitespot/bin/admin
./ns-admin -d /opt/netscape/suitespot/admin-serv/config

In your config-dir there must be a file name "ns-admin.conf"

In this file you can find several parameters, one of them is "PORT xxxx"

To connect to your adminserver:
http://servername:xxxx

Hi

If you want to start your webserver over the admin server you have to start the admin server and go to the admin-server with : http://localhost:port

On the first screen you see your servername and then an "ON/OFF" button.

OR

cd /opt/netscape/suitespot/SERVERNAME
./start

Typically there is a start script for each server instance.

EX:

//https-instancename/start

is the base server directory for netscape.

https-instancename is the subdirectory for that each server instance has.


In each of those directories there is a script called "start" that is used to start that instance.

thanks for all the help everyone. I tried to do all you suggestions. After talking with HP they determined that my netscape "server4" directory is corrupt. so it's off to restores I go. Thanks for your input and help.
