Fix many web access problems with IFS 9.0.1 on Solaris (and other OS's)...

Question

When the installation is done according to the documentation,
web access does not work because the scripts that add entries to
the jserv.properties file add duplicate references to
wrapper.env and wrapper.classpath. Look at the jserv.properties
file below and look at the remarked-out (#) lines of the
duplicate references. For example, look at the references to the
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Oracle, please note this bug so the web access problems are
minimized when the product is intstalled.
Thank you,
William T.

# 2) multiple definitions of the same key are concatenated in
a

# The Java Virtual Machine interpreter.
# Syntax: wrapper.bin=[filename] (String)
# Note: specify a full path if the interpreter is not visible in
your path.

# Default: "org.apache.jserv.JServ"
# Arguments passed to main class after the properties filename
(not used)
# Syntax: wrapper.class.parameters=[parameters] (String)
# Default: NONE
# Note: currently not used
# PATH environment value passed to the JVM
# Syntax: wrapper.path=[path] (String)
# Default: "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" for Unix systems

# Protocol used for signal handling
# Syntax: wrapper.protocol=[name] (String)
# Default: ajpv12
# General parameters
# Set the default IP address or hostname Apache JServ binds (or
listens) to.
# If you have a machine with multiple IP addresses, this address
# will be the one used. If you set the value to localhost, it
# will be resolved to the IP address configured for the locahost
# on your system (generally this is 127.0.0.1). This feature is
so
# that one can have multiple instances of Apache JServ listening
on
# the same port number, but different IP addresses on the same
machine.
# Use bindaddress=* only if you know exactly what you are doing
here,
# as it could let JServ wide open to the internet.
# You must understand that JServ has to answer only to Apache,
and should not
# be reachable by nobody but mod_jserv. So localhost is usually a
# good option. The second best choice would be an internal
network address
# (protected by a firewall) if JServ is running on another
machine than Apache.
# Ask your network admin.
# "*" may be used on boxes where some of the clients get
connected using
# "localhost"and others using another IP addr.
# Syntax: bindaddress=[ipaddress] or [localhost] or [*]
# Default: localhost
bindaddress=localhost
# Set the port Apache JServ listens to.
# Syntax: port=[1024,65535] (int)
# Default: 8007
port=8007
# Servlet Zones parameters
# List of servlet zones Apache JServ manages
# Syntax: zones=[servlet zone],[servlet zone]... (Comma

# Default: NONE
zones=root
# Configuration file for each servlet zone (one per servlet zone)

# Default: NONE
# Note: if the file could not be opened, try using absolute
paths.
root.properties=/d3/Apache/Jserv/etc/zone.properties
# Thread Pool parameters
# Enables or disables the use of the thread pool.

# Default: false
# WARNING: the pool has not been extensively tested and may
generate
deadlocks.
# For this reason, we advise against using this code in

pool=false
# Indicates the number of idle threads that the pool may contain.

# Indicates the pool controller that should be used to control
the
# level of the recycled threads.
# Syntax: pool.controller=[full class of controller] (String)
# Default: org.apache.java.recycle.DefaultController
# NOTE: it is safe to leave this unchanged unless special
recycle behavior
# is needed. Look at the "org.apache.java.recycle" package
javadocs for more
# info on other pool controllers and their behavior.
pool.controller=org.apache.java.recycle.DefaultController
# Security parameters
# Enable/disable the execution of org.apache.jserv.JServ as a
servlet.
# This is disabled by default because it may give informations
that should
# be restricted.
# Note that the execution of Apache JServ as a servlet is
filtered by the web
# server modules by default so that both sides should be enabled
to let this
# service work.
# This service is useful for installation and configuration
since it gives
# feedback about the exact configurations Apache JServ is using,
but it should
# be disabled when both installation and configuration processes
are done.
# Syntax: security.selfservlet=true (boolean)
# Default: false
# WARNING: disable this in a production environment since may
give reserved
# information to untrusted users.
security.selfservlet=true
# Set the maximum number of socket connections Apache JServ may
handle
# simultaneously. Make sure your operating environment has
enough file
# descriptors to allow this number.
# Syntax: security.maxConnections=(int)>1
# Default: 50

#security.allowedAddresses=127.0.0.1
# Enable/disable connection authentication.
# NOTE: unauthenticated connections are a little faster since
authentication
# handshake is not performed at connection creation.
# WARNING: authentication is disabled by default because we
believe that
# connection restriction from all IP addresses but localhost
reduces your
# time to get Apache JServ to run. If you allow other addresses
to connect and
# you don't trust it, you should enable authentication to
prevent untrusted
# execution of your servlets. Beware: if authentication is

# Default: 5
#security.challengeSize=5
# Logging parameters
# Enable/disable Apache JServ logging.
# WARNING: logging is a very expensive operation in terms of
performance. You
# should reduced the generated log to a minumum or even disable
it if fast
# execution is an issue. Note that if all log channels (see
below) are
# enabled, the log may become really big since each servlet
request may
# generate many Kb of log. Some log channels are mainly for
debugging
# purposes and should be disabled in a production environment.
# Syntax: log=[true,false] (boolean)
# Default: true
log=true
# Set the name of the trace/log file. To avoid possible
confusion about
# the location of this file, an absolute pathname is recommended.
# This log file is different than the log file that is in the
# jserv.conf file. This is the log file for the Java portion of
Apache
# JServ.
# On Unix, this file must have write permissions by the owner of
the JVM
# process. In other words, if you are running Apache JServ in
manual mode
# and Apache is running as user nobody, then the file must have
its
# permissions set so that that user can write to it.
# Syntax: log.file=[log path and filename] (String)
# Default: NONE
# Note: if the file could not be opened, try using absolute
paths.
log.file=/d3/Apache/Jserv/logs/jserv.log
# Enable the timestamp before the log message
# Syntax: log.timestamp=[true,false] (boolean)
# Default: true
log.timestamp=true
# Use the given string as a data format
# (see java.text.SimpleDateFormat for the list of options)
# Syntax: log.dateFormat=(String)
# Default: [dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS zz]
log.dateFormat=[dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS zz]
# Since all the messages logged are processed by a thread
running with
# minimum priority, it's of vital importance that this thread
gets a chance
# to run once in a while. If it doesn't, the log queue overflow
occurs,
# usually resulting in the OutOfMemoryError.
# To prevent this from happening, two parameters are used:
log.queue.maxage
# and log.queue.maxsize. The former defines the maximum time for
the logged
# message to stay in the queue, the latter defines maximum
number of
# messages in the queue.
# If one of those conditions becomes true (age > maxage || size
maxsize),# the log message stating that fact is generated and the log
queue is
# flushed in the separate thread.
# If you ever see such a message, either your system doesn't
live up to its
# expectations or you have a runaway loop (probably, but not
necessarily,
# generating a lot of log messages).
# WARNING: Default values are lousy, you probably want to tweak
them and
# report the results back to the development team.
# Syntax: log.queue.maxage = [milliseconds]
# Default: 5000
log.queue.maxage = 5000
# Syntax: log.queue.maxsize = [integer]

About your home page; Manually set up Firefox with the window(s) and tab(s)
the way you want them to be. Then;
'''''Firefox Options > General > Homepage'''''.
Press the button labeled ''''Use Current'''.'
=====================================
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.
