Configuring SCOhelp to use a remote server

To configure scohelp on a given SCO system


to use a remote help server, complete the following steps.

For the purposes of this procedure, we assume three things:

• The server machine name is helpsrv.sco.com,

• The client machine name is helpcli.sco.com,

• SCOhelp document resources (in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ScoHelp) and scohttp document root values (in /var/scohttpd/conf/srm.conf and /var/scohttpd/conf/access.conf) are set to their default values. For more information on setting those values, see the manual pages for scohttp(ADM) and scohelp(XC).

1. Log in as root.

2. If scohttp is installed and you no longer intend to use it locally, disable scohttp by entering:
   
   scohttp disable

3. With your ASCII editor, open /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ScoHelp

4. Find the following X resource definitions:

      *documentServer:		http://localhost
      *homeDocument:			http://localhost/dochome
   

5. Change them to read:

      *documentServer:		http://helpsrv.sco.com:457
      *homeDocument:			http://helpsrv.sco.com:457/dochome
   

   ---

   NOTE: These settings assume the default resource configuration on the server. For more information about X resources, see Chapter 5, ``Understanding resources'' in the Graphical Environment Guide. For more information on scohelp resources, see the manual page for scohelp(XC).

   ---

6. Log on as root to helpsrv.sco.com and enter scohttp query. If the server is running the output should resemble the following:

      Scohttp is currently running.
      Scohttp is enabled.
   

   If it is not running, see scohttp(ADM).

7. Start help on helpcli.sco.com by entering scohelp at a SCOterm UNIX command line. If the help library appears, you have correctly configured helpcli.sco.com to use the help libraries on helpsrv.sco.com. If it does not, check to make sure you followed the steps correctly.

8. After completing this procedure, make sure that context-sensitive help works on helpcli.sco.com by pressing <F1> with the cursor in any graphical application. If help for that application appears, context-sensitive help is working. If the an error message or the Documentation Library appears see ``Using context-sensitive help on a document server system''.
