Adding and Editing Listen Sockets
Before the server can process a request, it must accept the request via a listen
socket, then direct the request to the correct connection group and virtual server.
When you install Enterprise Server, one listen socket, ls1, is created automatically.
This listen socket uses the IP address 0.0.0.0 (equivalent to "all addresses on this
machine") and the port number you specified as your HTTP server port number
during installation (the default is 80). You cannot delete the default listen socket.
You can edit your server's listen socket settings using the Server Manager's Listen
Sockets Table. To access the table, perform the following steps:
Access the Server Manager and click the Preferences tab.
1.
Click the Edit Listen Sockets link.
2.
Make the desired changes and click OK.

You can also edit the listen socket settings in the
Netscape Enterprise Server NSAPI Programmer's Guide for details.

Choosing MIME Types

The Mime Types page allows you to edit your server's MIME files.
MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension) types control what types of
multimedia files your mail system supports. MIME types also specify what file
extensions belong to certain server file types, for example to designate what files
are CGI programs.
You don't need to create a separate MIME types file for each virtual server. Instead,
you create as many MIME types files as you need and associate them with a virtual
server. One MIME types file,
cannot be deleted. This file can be the absolute path.
To access the MIME Types page, perform the following steps:
Access the Server Manager and click the Preferences tab.
