- The following Rexx .cmd file will set up a number of PPP ports ( default is
- 1... max is 10 because of a OS/2 PPP Limitation ) ( The warp server GA
- code should increase this max of 10 to 32. )There are a couple of
- assumptions.
-
- 1). You have have a loopback port defined and it's IP Address is
- 127.0.0.1. Do an 'ifconfig lo' to make sure you've got this
- set up. If you don't make sure and do a 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1'
- and then route your own ip address to the loopback port... i.e.
- 'route add host my-ipaddress 127.0.0.1 0' Both of these lines are in
- my '\mptn\bin\setup.cmd' file.
-
- 2). You have a dedicated IP Address for each Virtual Host for your Web
- Server. If you don't have an IP Address for each virtual host, you
- can't use a Virtual Host. Your lan ( or ISP ) needs to know to route
- all of your Virtual Host IP Addresses to your system. You 'may' be
- able to do an 'ARP PUB' ( arp publish ) for each IP Address, but I
- haven't tried that. All of my IP Addresses are routed to my main
- OS/2 box.
-
- 3). You find the lines:
-
- yourbase = 'xxx.xxx.xxx'
- youroffset = 'x'
- comport = 'comx'
-
- in this file and put your info in in the quotes. The quotes
- ARE required. See the comments prior to the lines for an
- explanation.
-
- NOTE: You can use an SIO virtual port instead of a real COM port.
- I use the line:
- DEVICE=C:\SIO.SYS (4, INTERNET, NONE)
- to define COM4 as a virtual COM port. I use COM4 to define all of
- my Virtual PPP ports.
-
-
- 4). You already have the Virtual Host stuff in the httpd.conf file
- configured.
-
- 5). Guess that about covers it. To test this ( the routing of the
- virtual PPP Ports out, you need to do a ping on each IP Address
- both locally and from a remote system. If the ping does not come
- back to you, then your are NOT going to get the httpd virtual
- host stuff to work. Figure out why ping doesn't work first.
-
- 6). If you get an error from httpd about running out of file handles,
- OR httpd traps in DOSCALLS.DLL when you start... you need to
- issue the command SET EMXOPT=-h25 to add 25 file handles to your
- httpd session. If you want to add more, then use a bigger
- number than 25.
-
- 7). Now... that is it I think. Let me know if you have any updates to
- these instructions. Jack - jack@cyberloans.com
