Netscape location?

[Mott Given]

What is the full path and filename where Netscape is installed for HP-UX v11.i?
$ swlist -l fileset | grep -i netscape
# NetscapeDirSvr7 B.07.10.10 The Netscape Directory Server v7
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-ADM B.07.10.10 Netscape Administration Server
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-BASE B.07.10.10 Netscape Server Family Core Components
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-BSCLNT B.07.10.10 Netscape Core Java classes
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-BSJRE B.07.10.10 Java Runtime Environment
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-NC B.07.10.10 Netscape Console
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-NSPERL B.07.10.10 Netscape nsPerl
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-PERLDAP B.07.10.10 Netscape PerLDAP
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-SLAPD B.07.10.10 Netscape Directory Server
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-SLCLNT B.07.10.10 Netscape Directory Server Console
NetscapeDirSvr7.NDS-SVCORE B.07.10.10 Netscape core components

We have the directories above but I can't find the executable that starts the Netscape browser.

Hi,

You can do a swlist file on the package and it will tell you that,

swlist -l file NetscapeDirSvr7

Normally it should be under /opt, checkfor netscape directories,

cd /opt
ll -d netscape*

Hope this helps.

Hi Mott,

Netscape might not be there on your server, instead you can use Mozilla for HP-UX, which can be downloaded from.

Mott,

The Netscape Enterprise server usually runs in /opt/ns-enterprise

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Check if the mozilla browser is installed on your system:

>whereis mozilla
mozilla: /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla

[Mott Given]

Thanks for all the replies. I could not find a file in any of the directories in the replies which had a file that I could use to start up the Netscape browser. I found 2 directories:
/opt/netscape/plugins/
/opt/netscape6/plugins/

Mozilla is going to be installed on the machine.

Mott,

Here is the correct info

Netscape installs it under /var/opt/netscape/server? since there is a growth of the database.

There is a document link which may be helpful to you.

One more tip which will always be helpful for you-

If there is ever an application installed by SD-UX (atleast in most times), there will be a startup script in /sbin/init.d

You can find the corresponding name and then open it to find the start script under the START parameter. That will give you a starting point to investigate further.

Just to be clear, when software is referred to as simply "Netscape", it's almost always the web browser. The Netscape Directory Server depot does not include the web browser. The Netscape Enterprise Server might include it because it's administered via web pages, but that's very clunky way of getting a web browser.

Unless you have a specific need for one of the features in Netscape I would recommend using Mozilla as previous posters did. Most extra Netscape functionality (AIM, composer, etc) can be found in other applications.

The latest HP-UX release of netscape browser found at nescape.com is version 4.7 - really old:

I would prefer mozilla. It's available here

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/mozilla/index.html?jumpid=go/mozilla

or on the internet express CD.

[Mott Given]

Thanks for the replies. I did not realize that the install of Netscape Directory Services did not include the browser also.
