David, We created separate folders under the webapps directory for each application's help files. Our CMDB help files are under C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Remedy\Help\AtriumCMDB. This is what is identified on the installer for the destination folder. The URL is configured as http://myservername/Remedy/Help/AtriumCMDB during installation. Our web server is Tomcat 5.5 with ITSM 7/CMDB 2.0.1. -Brian

Is there anyone who has successfully installed the help files. I am currently looking at installing and configuring the CMDB Online Help file first. During the installation, the SETUP.EXE process says that it didn't detect a web server on this system. Here's the steps I took to install the help files.. 1. Ran SETUP.EXE 2. Pressed "Next >" at the Intro screen. 3. Pressed "I Agree" at the license agreement screen. 4. Entered my username, password, server name and port number then press "Next >". It searches for installed language packs. 5. Then it says that the installer did not detect web servers on my machine and if I had one. I said "Yes". 6. At the select language packs screen I pressed "Next >" 7. At the "Choose Destination Location" I selected the ROOT directory of the tomcat servers webapps folder. "G:\Program Files\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT" 8. Then at the "Confirm URL" setting I reset the URL to read: http://myservername.com:80/AtriumCMDB <http://myservername.com/AtriumCMDB> 9. At the "Start Copying Files" screen, I pressed "Install >" 10. It copies all the files to the appropriate directories and updates the "Online Help File Path" values in the SHARE:Application_Properties form. 11. Then I pressed "Finished" at the last screen. When I go to test it: 1. I open the web page to the AR System Mid Tier server and log in. 2. Then I select "CMDB Console" from the Home Page. 3. I click on the "Help" hyperlink. 4. Then the web page pops up directed to: http://myserver.com/AtriumCMDB/console.htm it errors out saying HTTP Status 404 - Not available. 5. I found the console.htm file in the "en" sub directory of the web server installed directory. 6. So I modified my URL in the browser to point to the http://myserver.com/AtriumCMDB/en/console.htm; no dice. 7. So I modified my URL in the browser to point to the http://myserver.com/en/console.htm; screen comes up blank. 8. I go back to my CMDB Console screen an press help and the screen points to http://myserver.com/AtriumCMDB/en/console.htm Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.....
