  1. Before the double check the Netware configuration files that iASP configuration has modify; and make sure it is updated properly. The list for modified configuration files are :
  2. Obj.conf, urlmap.properties, and java.conf

    For obj.conf, is it located under ‘etc?folder, the following strings are added to the end of the file (Note: assume iASP is install under sys:\iasp folder) :

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;\java\lib\classes.zip

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\classes

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasplib.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\buttons.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\jsdk.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\rjax.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_image.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_sock.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_mail.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\ejbcorba.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_chart.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\activation.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_pop3.jar

    SERVLETCLASSPATH=$SERVLETCLASSPATH;sys:\iasp\lib\iasp_exec.jar

    Urlmap.properties, are located under java\servlets folder. The following strings are added to the end of the file:

    # Instant ASP

    *.ASP=Dispatcher.DispatcherServlet

    *.asp=Dispatcher.DispatcherServlet

    Obj.conf is located under the Novonyx\suitespot\https-[servername]\config folder. The following strings are added follow by the string "<Object name="default">":

    NameTrans fn="assign-name" name="Novell Servlet Gateway" from="/*.asp"

    NameTrans fn="assign-name" name="Novell Servlet Gateway" from="/*.ASP"

  3. Update the change on the NS Admin by the following:
  1. start the NS Adminstration console from your browser. It typically has a URL similar to http://servver:adminport.
  2. Then, on NS Administration console, go the the server perference where you have made changes
  3. Third, click on "Apply" button to load the latest configuration.
  4. Finally, click the OFF/ON button next to the server you want to administer to restart server.
  1. Update the change and reload java and restart the Web server. You can restart server and reload java by typing the following commands at the system console:

nvxwebdn

unload java

nvxwebup

Above procedure would allow you to update that last update that you have made changes. If there isn't anything misconfigured, iASP script now be running.
