ns-httpd(1M)

NAME
     ns-httpd - Netscape Communications and Commerce Servers

SYNOPSIS
     ns-httpd -d config-directory

DESCRIPTION
     The config-directory argument tells the server the location of the server
     configuration files.  The ns-httpd command should never be invoked from
     the shell.

     Both the Netscape Communications and the Netscape Commerce servers have
     the same process name for their servers.  Once the servers have been
     installed they will attempt to autoconfigure themselves upon startup.
     The installation process pre-configures the server on your system with
     the user "admin" as the administration user and no administration
     password.  You should assign an administration password once you begin
     altering the defautl configuration. The administration port is port 81.
     For details on the Netscape administration server see the ns-admin (1M)
     man page.

     To administer the Netscape Communications or Commerce Server, issue the
     following command:

     netscape http://localhost:81/
     then follow the instructions in the ns_httpd or ns_commerce release notes
     and the Netscape Communications or Commerce Server Administrator's to
     alter the default configuration of the server.

     To start the servers you can either use the Netscape administrator server
     to do this, see ns-admin(1M) for more details, or you can start the
     servers by hand.

     To start the Netscape Communications Server invoke the following command

     /etc/init.d/ns_httpd start

     To shutdown the Netscape Communications Server invoke the following
     command

     /etc/init.d/ns_httpd stop

     To start the Netscape Commerce Server invoke the following command

     /etc/init.d/ns_commerce start

     To shutdown the Netscape Commerce Server invoke the following command

     /etc/init.d/ns_commerce stop
     The Netscape Communications Server can be automatically restarted on
     reboot if it is chkconfig'ed on.  Unfortunatly, the Netscape Commerce
     server can not be automatically restarted on reboot due to the necessity
     of entering the server's password once the server starts.
