WEB SERVERS

Converting from Web Server Configurations to Internet Sites view
You can convert Web sites that you created in Domino 5 to Lotus Domino 8. Documents in the Web Configurations view correspond to documents in the Internet Sites view:
Release 5 Lotus Domino 6 and later
Server documentWeb Site document

Note The Server document is still used for some low-level HTTP task configuration settings

Virtual serverWeb Site document
Web SSO Configuration documentWeb SSO Configuration Document
URL Mapping/Redirection documentRule
File Protection documentFile Protection
RealmAuthentication Realm
If you are using virtual servers or hosts, create one Web Site document for each virtual site. If you provided a default site in the Release 5 server record, you must either make one of the Web Site documents the default site, or create a document for the default site.

To convert from the Web Server Configurations view to the Internet Sites view

If you do not have virtual servers or hosts, follow these steps to convert to the new view:

1. Create a Web Site document.

2. Select the Web Site document and choose Edit Document.

3. Click Web Site and create the corresponding documents in Lotus Domino 8: Web SSO Configuration, Rule (URL Mapping/Redirection), File Protection (File Protection), or Authentication Realm (Realm).

4. Open the Server document.

5. Click Basics and check Enabled for "Loads Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites documents."

6. Save the document, and restart the HTTP server task to use the new view.

Note If you have created Web SSO Configuration documents in the Web Server Configurations view, these need to be disabled before you can enable the Internet Sites view. Otherwise, this generates an error message. You have the option of disabling them yourself, on the Internet Protocols - Domino Web Engine tab of the Server document, or allowing Domino to do it for you. You will be prompted about this if you try to enable Internet Sites when you have existing Web SSO configuration documents.

If you are using the Web Server Configurations view, use the settings on the Web Engine tab of the Server document for the following:

specify GIF or JPEG conversion

specify the number of lines to display in a view

find links with the Redirect URL command
