This document discusses the procedures for setting up Documentation Search
Service as your search service at AIX version 4.3.x.
docsearch launches the AIX Documentation Search Service global search
form into a Web browser window. Netscape
4.04 is the recommended browser and you will need a Web server to serve out the
html based information files.

After installing the filesets that you need, configure the Web server through SMIT. First Select System Environment, then Internet and Documentation Services (for the fastpath method, enter smitty web_configure.)
Local-this computeror
Remote computer
NOTE: If you installed the filesets locally, choose Local-this computer
After choosing Local-this computer, the entry field should be populated with your Web server as shown in the example below. Keep in mind, however, that it may differ from your screen, depending on the Web server you have chosen.

SMIT will configure the port, cgi-bin, and the html documentation directory as follows:
DOCUMENT_SERVER_PORT = 80 CGI_DIRECTORY = /usr/lpp/internet/server_root/cgi-bin DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY = /usr/lpp/internet/server_root/pub
NOTE: The cgi-bin directory should have world executable permissions.
If you chose Remote computer, enter in the fully qualified name of the remote host machine. The cgi-bin directory and document directory will be set by that machine. Also ensure that you verify the paths on the remote machine. Finally, you will need to reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.
You must execute docsearch from within a graphical environment, such as Xwindows or the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). When you execute Documentation Search Service, this will start Netscape and display the Documentation Search Service form. The URL will appear as http:///cgi-bin/ds_form.
To reach the commands reference page, the URL is
http:// At AIX 4.3.0, a known problem exists when you access a machine without DNS
configured. The problem will
appear when a search is attempted and the returned items cannot be accessed.
Additionally, the URL
may appear as htt:///doc_link/, which indicates that the hostname could not be
obtained.
APAR IX75702 fixes this problem.
If you intend to run Netscape from a machine which does not have a graphical
console, ensure
that the following prerequisite fileset is installed.
Use the preview function in SMIT to determine how much disk space you need to
install filesets.
