HTTP

The NAS Gateway 500 has HTTP file sharing protocol preloaded on the system. It
allows clients with a Web browser to access files stored on the NAS Gateway 500.
The NAS administrator can perform the following tasks:
v "Configuring the HTTP server"
v "Managing HTTP users" on page 127
v "Creating HTTP file shares" on page 128
v "Starting, restarting and stopping the HTTP serve daemon" on page 128
v "Starting, restarting, and stopping the HTTP administration server daemon" on
v "Displaying HTTP server configuration information" on page 129
v "Displaying HTTP server logs" on page 130
You can use the SMIT fastpath smit http to perform HTTP-related administration
functions.

Configuring the HTTP server

This section describes the methods for configuring HTTP Server daemon for file
share access. This operation is currently performed by the NAS administrator or
root user, and is a command prompt configuration task. The HTTP file server takes
its configuration in the form of server directives. The NAS Gateway 500 has a
command prompt utility, http_config, that controls the server directives. These
directives are stored in two files:
v httpd.conf
v admin.conf
These files are located in the default directory /usr/HTTPServer/conf. The worksheet
shown in Table 4 should be filled out before executing the http_config application
at the command prompt.
