Using a homepage to serve documents to a local network

To serve documents to a local network (assuming you have already created them) you must:

1. Create a homepage.

2. Configure scohttpd to serve your homepage to the local network.

To create a homepage, use a text editor (for example, emacs or vi) to create your own HTML document (see ,Chapter 3, ``Writing HTML documents'' in Using Help) or customize the sample homepage in Using Help found in /usr/lib/scohelp/XHelp/sample.html.

After you have created your homepage, configure the help server (scohttp) to use it.

To configure the help server, complete the following steps:

1. Log in as root.

2. Move your homepage to your document root (the directory you want to make available to the network). By default, the document root is /usr/lib/scohelp. If you want to use the default directory, move your new homepage to /usr/lib/scohelp and skip to step 12. If you want to change the default directory, complete steps 3 through 11.

   ---

   WARNING: If you want access to the SCO Documentation Library, do not change the document root. To use your own homepage while retaining access to the help library, move your homepage to /usr/lib/scohelp and skip to step 12.

   ---

3. Change directories to /var/scohttpd/conf.

4. Open srm.conf.

5. Find the line defining DocumentRoot. This is the directory out of which you serve your help documents. The line resembles the following:

      DocumentRoot /usr/lib/scohelp
   

6. Change this directory to the new name. For example, if you want to serve documents from the directory /usr/local/documents, you would add the following line:

      DocumentRoot /usr/local/documents
   

7. Save the file and exit.

8. Open access.conf.

9. Find the following line:

      <Directory /usr/lib/scohelp>
   

10. Replace this directory pathname with the one used by DocumentRoot in srm.conf. In the above example, this line would be the following:

       <Directory /usr/local/documents>
    

11. Save the file and exit.

12. Change directories to /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.

13. Open ScoHelp and search for the following line:

       *homeDocument:                       http://localhost/dochome
    

    Change *homeDocument to reflect your new homepage. For example, if your new homepage file is called myhome.html, the line would look like this.

       *homeDocument:                       http://localhost/myhome.html
    

    ---

    NOTE: If you change the homeDocument resource and still want access to the Help library (/usr/lib/scohelp/dochome.html) on your homepage, make sure you create a hyperlink to dochome.html on your new homepage (there are also links to the library on the Navigate menu and the toolbar).

    ---

14. Save the file and exit.

15. Start and stop the help server (scohttp) by issuing the commands:
    
    scohttp stop
    scohttp start

16. To test your configuration, issue the command:
    
    scohelp

    SCOhelp should start with your new homepage displayed in the SCOhelp window.
