AXIS 2120 User's Manual
Creating a New Home Page
Having created and stored your new custom Web pages in product memory, you then
proceed to assign one of these pages as your default Home page in the AXIS 2120, as
described below:
Caution!
Adding a new Web page to your AXIS 2120 is not something that should be undertaken lightly. Remem-
ber: Axis does not support the personalization of product Web pages and strongly recommends that
inexperienced users DO NOT perform such modifications.
1. Start a new ftp session to the AXIS 2120, by entering:
ftp <camera ip address >
2. type
bin
3. Navigate your way to the appropriate directory, entering:
cd /etc/httpd/conf/
4. Fetch the boa.conf file, by typing:
get boa.conf
5. Add an alias to your own "homemade" index.html file stored in the /etc/httpd/html/
directory. This redirects access to your personalized Home page. For example:
Alias /usr/html/index.html /etc/httpd/html/index.html
Note:
As an alternative to the above, you might like to edit the DocumentRoot so that it points directly
to the local directory. However, after doing this you will then be unable to access the original
Home pages - so be warned!
6. After making these changes, you must now type in the complete URL to access the
normal index page:
http://IP#/view/index.shtml
