Administration Express
Chapter 3 Using Netscape Console 65
Administration Express
The Administration Express page is an HTML-based version of Netscape Console
that provides quick access to servers running Administration Server 4.2 or later. In
the Administration Express page, you can perform four administration tasks:
• Starting servers (except stopped instances of Administration Server, which
must be started from the command line)
• Stopping servers
• Viewing basic server information, such as name, description, and installation
folder.
• Viewing logs
Keep the following in mind when you use the Administration Express page:
• Before you can use Administration Express to manage a server, you must
upgrade its Administration Server to version 4.2 or later. If you try to use
Administration Express with a server using a pre-4.2 version of Administration
Server, you’ll get the message “Status Unknown.”
• If you turn off the instance of Administration Server that you used to log in to
Administration Express, you will no longer be able to use that Administration
Express page. If this happens, log in again using a different Administration
Server URL.
Accessing Administration Express
The Administration Express page is accessed through a browser.
To Open Administration Express
1.
Open version 3.0 or later of either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer, and enter the qualified host name and port number for the instance
of Administration Server that you want to access.
