On AIX -- tryint go setup migrated c/s enviroment? Where do I start?

Question

I’ve been tasked to do a proof of concept (poc) –
I need to migrate a couple of our existing client server (c/s) forms to this new AIX platform (one or two forms – with menus and toolbar icons).
So far I’ve completed the AIX install (I hope correctly – since it was really two installs)
Now I believe I need to start setting up the forms environment with variable for UI_ICON and NLS_LANG and FORMS??_DEFAULTFONT. I used to setup a path on PC’s registry for forms60_path=g:\server1\menus;g:\server1\LIB60;g:\server1\forms60 to point to our, menus, library files and tool bar graphic and pll files and fmb and fmx files. Unfortunately, I don’t know where or with what file to begin with.
I believe I’ve got the compile command down ( I know I’ll have to FTP from PC’s to UNIX and do the re-compile and make sure all the paths are changed from NT pc speak to unix paths.
(please let me know if this is wrong):
ORACLE_HOME/bin/f60gen module=ICQTYUH2.fmb userid=apps/test99 output_file=ICQTYUH2.fmx module_type=form batch=no compile_all=yes
How do I let the browser know where everything is -- do I make manual entires in a formsweb.cfg file or forms.conf file?? Any help will be appreciated – or any metalink documents or notes or “how to’s” or getting started docs etc.
I’m using Sun Java Plugins on the POC machines aka – j2se runtime environment 5.0 release 13 and also most PC’s have jinitiator 1.3.1 on them and java6 update 2 and 7.
Might be in over my head – especially since I’m not a developer – but only somewhat proficient in the web server environment setup. – Eventually, I’ll be asking this forum for help in sizing our servers -- more memory or CPU – might have to ask about web cache also.
Thanks for the help.

thanks for the info
Tons of stuff at this link.
Can you assit by narrowing it down a bit -- I did get the Migrating Client/Server To the Web -- doc from april 2002 but it doesn't assist with quesitons
like on variables to modify in the conf files.
I'm now just wanting to see the test.fmx form that comes out of box and having an issue brining it up -- must be a service not started or something:
can you say if a syntax below is wrong or not?
http://europa.starship.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=test.fmx&config=webutil
gives 500 Internal Server Error from Internet Explorer
Forms Servlet Error.
Missing or invalid value for baseHTML parameter.
Please check the servlet configuration to make sure this value specifies a valid file
