4.1. Configuring an Apache Web Server
For the Apache Web, add the following line to the .mime.types configuration file:
- application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP
- text/plain properties
4.2. Web Server
Make sure there is a web server running on the server. Create an Alias “<app name>” to point to the project directory.
Edit httpd.conf:
Alias /<app name> “/opt/apps/<app name>”
<Directory “/opt/apps/<app name>”>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Check that mime types are created for jnlp and jar:
Edit httpd.conf
AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file .jnlp
AddType application/x-java-archive .jar
AddType application/x-java-archive-diff .jardiff
Set the apache timeout to 10 seconds to fix the bug with downloading jar files using Java Webstart.
Edit httpd.conf
Timeout 10
4.3. Verify Webserver
Make sure http://:// returns the launch page.
Where:
- Servername is the name of the web server
- Port is the port on which the web server runs, usually 80
