Help on Setting up Web Cache.

Question

Hi,
I need help for setting up OAS Web Cache, whether the following setup is correct. I’m new to this.
When I login to http://server2.domain.com:8300/appname1/, the display URL is changed to http://server2.domain.com:7778/appname1/. However there is no activity in the Web Cache Statistics.
We have OAS Web Cache standalone installed on one server using port 80 (e.g. server1.domain.com) and OAS Application Server (HTTP & J2EE) installed on another server using port 7777 (e.g. server2.domain.com).
Currently, when our user login to the application, they use the following URLs:
http://server2.domain.com:8300/appname1/
http://server2.domain.com:19000/appname2/
I have setup OAS Web Cache as follows:
Listen Ports:
     Cache Name: server1.domain.com-WebCache
     IP Address: ANY
     Port: 7778
Origin Servers:
     Host: server2.domain.com
     Port: 7778
     Routing: enabled
     Ping URL: /
     Protocol: HTTP
Site definitions (two entries)
     Hostname: server1.domain.com
     Port: 80
     URL Path Prefix: (blank)
     Default: No
     Aliases (Host Name: None, Port: N/A, URL Path Prefix: N/A)
     Hostname: server2.domain.com
     Port: 7778
     URL Path Prefix: /
     Default: No
     Aliases (Host Name: None, Port: N/A, URL Path Prefix: N/A)
Site to Server Mapping:
     Site                    Origin Server     
Priority Host Name     Port URL Path Prefix ESI Content Policy Host Name     Port
1 server2.domain.com 8300 /appname1/ Unrestricted      server2.domain.com     7778
2 server2.domain.com 19000 /appname2/ Unrestricted      server2.domain.com     7778
3 server2.domain.com 7777 Unrestricted      server2.domain.com     7778
4     *      7777 Exclude Fragments server2.domain.com     7778
5     *      *           Exclude Fragments server2.domain.com     7778
And in server2.domain.com, the following has been set in httpd.conf
ServerName server2.domain.com
UseCanonicalName On
Port 7777
Listen 7777
Listen 7778
Listen 19000
<VirtualHost server2.domain.com:8300>
     Port 7778
</VirtualHost>
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lian

Answer 1

as mentioned above, All that you need is a optical cable (a toslink) and that will provide you with the 5.1 sound output. BUT and this is important, the Game or Movie must support 5.1 for you to get 5.1 sound (not a lot of Mac games have 5.1 output) also you will need to ensure that you setup the right settings on your sound Preference panel. You dont need any additional boxes or cables as long as your 5.1 speaker system accepts 5.1 audio via digital toslink (eg optical cable). the z5500 is suitable and will give you 5.1 sound if used with a game or movie that has 5.1 sound output.
Good luck and enjoy the sound
