Enterprise Server Cluster Control
After you add a web server to a cluster, you can do several tasks on
the server:
- You can stop, start, and restart the server. You should restart any
servers after you change their configuration.
- You can view the access and error logs for a server.
- You can transfer configuration files among various servers.
You can perform these tasks on multiple servers by checking the boxes
next to the server names and then clicking the appropriate button (for
example, Restart).
Viewing log files
You can view the access and error log files for multiple servers in
a cluster:
- Use the Product Selector list to display all Netscape Enterprise Servers.
- Check the servers whose logs you want to view.
- Type the number of lines you want to view from each log file.
- Click the View Access button or the View Error button. A screen appears
listing each server with a status line that shows if the log file was found
successfully. Each server is listed as a link to its administration server.
- Click the View button for a server. The log file for that server appears
in a separate window, showing the number of lines you selected.
- Click the Close button to close the log file window.
Transferring configuration files
You can transfer configuration files from one web server to one or more
other web servers. This is useful if you have multiple web servers that
you want to share identical configurations.
To transfer a file:
- Use the Product Selector list to display all Netscape Enterprise Servers.
- Check the boxes for the web servers that you want to receive a
configuration file.
- Using the drop-down list labeled configuration file, choose
the configuration file you want to transfer. The files you can transfer
are:
- magnus.conf contains start-up configuration information
- obj.conf contains rules the server follows before servicing a request
- agent.conf contains settings for agents the server uses
- webpub.conf contains settings for text search and web publishing
- Using the drop-down list labeled from, choose the server that
contains the configuration file you want to transfer.
- Click the Transfer button.
- Restart all of the servers that received configuration files. You can
do this by returning to the Cluster Control page, checking the servers
you want to restart, and then clicking the Restart button.
