Netscape servers are extensively configurable with few restrictions.
Create and configure a CGI directory, where the RES-Reach message handling application will be located. The installation can place the REACH.EXE component of RES-Reach into this directory. For secure applications, configure this directory for User Authentication.
The REACH32.EXE component of RES-Reach, along with your application templates and databases, should be placed in a different directories which are not accessible to users through the Web. Ensure that RES-Reach 32 Internet Service is added to the list of NT services before attempting to run an application.
Possible directory structure:
---- Netscape Server --> Server directory structure
---- HTML files --> html document root
---- cgi-bin --> contains reach.exe
---- Reach
........ NBT --> contains nbt files, configured as NBTROOT
........ DB --> contains database files
With the above directory structure,
.... forms have action of "CGI-bin/reach.exe"
.... template name is in the (hidden) NBT field.
If you have developed a RES-Reach application you can call the first page in the application (presume it is called START.NBT) by creating an HTML file with the following syntax:
< FORM ACTION="cgi-bin/reach.exe" METHOD=POST >
< INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME="NBT" Value="Start" >
< INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Start" >
< /FORM >
