Server-Side JavaScript Programs
298 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
Important
Before you install an application, make sure the application name you choose
does not usurp an existing URL on your server. All client requests for URLs that
match the application URL are routed to the directory specified for the
.web
file, circumventing the server’s normal document root.
Using the previous example, any requests for URLs that begin with
http://
myserver
.mozilla.com/world
will look for documents in the
js/samples/world
directory and not in your server’s normal document root.
Controlling Access to a Server-Side
JavaScript Application
When you install an application, you may want to restrict its use to only certain
users. You can do this by applying a configuration style to the application. For
more information, see Chapter 12, “Working With Configuration Styles.” For
more information on restricting access to part of your server, see Chapter 14,
“Controlling Access to Your Server.”
Modifying Installation Parameters
To modify an application’s installation parameters, open the Application
Manager as described in the section “Running the Application Manager,” on
page 291. Then select the application name in the left frame of the Application
Manager and click Modify.
You can change any of the parameters defined when you installed the
application, except the application name. To change the name of an
application, you must remove the application and then reinstall it.
If you modify the parameters of a stopped application, the Application Manager
automatically starts it. When you modify parameters of an active application,
Application Manager automatically stops and restarts it.
