Configuration of attached documents for two computers and a dedicated Hypertext Transfer Protocol server

When you use two computers with a dedicated Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server on either Windows or UNIX, the following configuration and specifications apply. This configuration applies to the WebSphere® Application Server platform or to the WebLogic Server platform.

The following table lists the configuration specifications that apply to two computers, with a dedicated HTTP server, on Windows or UNIX

Table 1. Two computers, dedicated HTTP server, on Windows or UNIX
Configuration Specifications
  • You store document files on a different computer than the application server that runs the system.
  • The HTTP server (such as Apache or Microsoft Internet Information Services) is on the computer that stores the document files.
  • You map a drive on the application server to point to the drive on the Document File/HTTP server (Windows only).
  • You mount the network file system that contains the document files from the document file server onto the application server (UNIX only).

For Windows:

  • H is a mapped drive on the application server computer that runs the system.
  • D is a drive on the computer that stores the documents, and runs an HTTP server.
  • Drive letter, file names, and directory names are case-sensitive.

For UNIX:

  • /d01 is an NFS mount point on the application server for the file system /home on the HTTP server.
  • File names and directory names are case-sensitive.

The following graphic depicts the configuration for two computers with a dedicated document file/HTTP server.
