of the Prolifics setup program. For further information on configuring web

HTTP server’s CGI directory; otherwise, copy them from
$SMBASE/util
.

(web setup manager)

jwsamp
(sample application executable)

Confirm that the following web application server files reside in the document
root directory (consult your system administrator for the correct name) used
by your HTTP server; otherwise, copy them from
$SMBASE/notes
.
•
*.htm
(configuration HTML files)
•
*.gif
(graphics files)
3.
Confirm that the following initialization file resides in the Prolifics web
initialization directory (

); otherwise, copy it from
$SMBASE/config
.

jwsamp.ini
4.
Check
jwsamp.ini
in the Prolifics web initialization directory (
