Note: You can change the html files as and when you like, but remember that the available flash memory is limited.

Using your own file as a New Home Page

Having created and stored your own web pages in the AXIS 230, you can now assign one of these pages as your default home page, as described below:

Caution!

Changing the web pages in the AXIS 230 is not something that should be undertaken lightly. Remember: Axis does not support the personalization of web pages and strongly recommends that inexperienced users DO NOT perform such modifications.

1.In your browser’s URL field (address bar) enter the following: http://<IP-address>/admin-bin/editcgi.cgi?file=/etc/httpd/conf/boa.conf

This opens the built-in editor in the AXIS 230 and loads the file boa.conf for editing.

2.Now add the following lines to the end of the file:

Alias /index.html /etc/httpd/html/index.html

Alias / /etc/httpd/html

These lines should be added to the file as shown below:

# Virtual I/O specific configurations of Boa

ScriptAlias /axis-cgi/io/virtualinput.cgi /usr/html/axis-cgi/io/virtualinput.cgi Alias /index.html /etc/httpd/html/index.html

Alias / /etc/httpd/html

3.This creates an alias to your own index.html file stored in the /etc/httpd/html/ directory and redirects access to it. Save the edited boa.conf in the camera, by clicking the Save file button. The next time you access the camera your own web page will now be the first page displayed.
