Before you administer the IBM® Content
Navigator web client, you must
verify that IBM Content
Navigator was
successfully deployed to your web application server.
Before you begin
Ensure that you completed the following tasks:
- Ran all of the tasks in the IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool
- Completed any required post-deployment tasks
on your web application server
- Configured your database for IBM Content
Navigator
- Restarted the IBM Content
Navigator web
application server.
See the completed Worksheet for verifying your deployment when you
complete this task.
Procedure
To verify that IBM Content
Navigator was
successfully installed and deployed:
- View the installation log file. The log file
is in the logs subdirectory of the IBM Content
Navigator installation directory.
- Verify that the IBM Content
Navigator Ping
page displays your IBM Content
Navigator installation
at the correct version number.
- Verify that you can access the IBM Content
Navigator web client:
- Open a web browser and enter a URL with the following
format: http://host_name:port_number/context_root. By default, the context root is navigator.
If you want to connect to IBM Content
Navigator by using a forward proxy
server, refer to your proxy server documentation to determine the
correct format of the URL. In the standard format, the protocol portion
of the IBM Content
Navigator URL
is replaced with the URL of the forward proxy server. You do not need
to provide any additional parameters to connect to IBM Content
Navigator through a forward proxy
server.
What to do next
After you verify your deployment, you must configure the
web client for users.
