Configuring FastTrack servers

The SCO online documentation server (scohelphttpd) is installed and configured by default at installation time. You can modify the configuration of the documentation server or configure additional servers using the Server Selector.

To start the Server Selector, run the SCOadmin Netscape Server Admin manager in one of these ways:

• Choose SCOadmin from the SCO menu (above the SCO logo) on the CDE desktop, then select Netscape Server Admin.

• Start the SCOadmin launcher by entering scoadmin on the command line, then selecting Netscape Server Admin.

• Enter scoadmin netscape server on the command line.

The Netscape Server Admin starts the Netscape Communicator browser and starts the Netscape Administration Server.

Log in using the admin username and the system root password.

From the Server Selector, you can:
