Manually Configuring Your Web Server

If you skipped the "Web Server Configuration" step during installation, you will need create directories and copy files from the ION installation to your Web server directory after installing and configuring a Web server. Follow the steps for your platform.

On UNIX: Run the configuration script, java_config, located in the default installation directory, ITT_DIR/ion64/ion_java/bin. This script will create directories and copy the required files to your Web server's HTML files directory as well as configure the IDL_PATH.

On Windows: Manually copy files from the ION distribution into the Web server's HTML files directory as follows:

Create a directory named IONJava in the Web Server\htdocs directory (or the Web Server\wwwroot directory for IIS).

Copy index.html from the main ION installation directory, ITT_DIR\idl64\products\ion64\ion_java directory to the
Web Server\htdocs\IONJava directory.

Create a subdirectory named classes in the Web Server\htdocs\IONJava directory. Copy the following files from ITT_DIR\idl64\products\ion64\ion_java\classes to the new directory, Web Server\htdocs\IONJava\classes:

ion_64.jar

ion_64.zip

all .class files

Note
You do not need to copy the com directory, contained in the classes directory, or any of its subdirectories. All of these files are packaged into the ion_64.jar and ion_64.zip files.

Copy the entire examples directory, including all files and subdirectories, from ITT_DIR\idl64\products\ion64\ion_java to the Web Server\htdocs\IONJava directory.

When you finish, the main level htdocs\IONJava directory of your Web server will include two subdirectories, classes and examples and an index.html file.

Update your IDL search path to include the Web Server/htdocs directory. For more information, see The ION Java Properties Dialog.
