Installing a Linux WebAccess and WebPublisher Application
To install a WebAccess Application and a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:
1 After installing and configuring the WebAccess Agent, if you want to use an existing Apache
2 When the installation is complete, click OK.
3 Click Configure WebAccess Application.
4 Follow the prompts to configure the Linux WebAccess Application.
5 When the installation and configuration is complete, start or restart the Web server.
53.3 Configuring Redirection and Failover
Support
Redirection enables the WebAccess Application to direct user requests to specific WebAccess
Agents. For example, you might want WebAccess Agent 1 to process all requests from users on Post
Office 1 and WebAccess Agent 2 to process all requests from users on Post Office 2.
Failover support enables the WebAccess Application to contact a second WebAccess Agent if the
first WebAccess Agent is unavailable. For example, if the WebAccess Application receives a user
request that should be processed by WebAccess Agent 1 but it is unavailable, the WebAccess
Application can route the user request to WebAccess Agent 2 instead.
The following sections provide information to help you successfully configure redirection and
failover support:

or
Click Install GroupWise WebAccess Application with Apache and Tomcat.
This installs a version of Apache and Tomcat specifically for use with GroupWise. Apache files
are installed under
/var/opt/novell/http
files are installed under
/var/opt/novell/tomcat4
tomcat4.
In addition, a self-signed certificate is generated, enabling users to use WebAccess and
WebPublisher using an SSL connection.
NOTE: The option to install Apache and Tomcat along with the WebAccess Application is not
available if you are installing to Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux because Apache and
Tomcat are already installed and configured correctly in that environment.
