Web Application Server:
Preliminary
Steps
If you plan to install a Prolifics web application server on UNIX, you must create a user account called proweb.
To prepare your UNIX system for installing a web application server:
1.Add a user called proweb (this name assignment is required) to the /etc/ passwd file on the machine on which your HTTP server is running. This creates a user account for the web application server.
2.Create a web home directory for the web application server user account. For example: /home/proweb.
3.Set the permissions of proweb so that both the Prolifics web application server and the HTTP server can access the files in the web home directory. Follow these steps:
•Determine the name of the HTTP server user account (for example, webmast).
•Create a permission group consisting of the web user account (proweb) and the HTTP server user account (webmast).
•Give the group permission to access files in the web home directory
(/home/proweb). You may need to assign the same permissions to all of the parent directories as well.
4.In your web home directory, create an ini subdirectory. Make sure that it has
/home/proweb/ini
