Thanks Brain and Axton.  

 

This is good information.    Apparently there's a "Duh" in there somewhere.
This has progressed me further, however I am stuck..

The link appears to be working; I must have something else hosed.  When I
execute the link from within the server that is being called from the "Help"
link on the CMDB Console form::

 

http://myserver.com/AtriumCMDB/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context
=BMC_Atrium_CMDB_2_0_1_Help
<http://myserver.com/AtriumCMDB/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?contex
t=BMC_Atrium_CMDB_2_0_1_Help&file=console.htm> &file=console.htm it seems to
hang.

 

But when I cut and past the same link into my browser it seems to work fine.

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

** 

Listers,

 

I have searched high and low for a guide on how to correctly install the
online help system onto a Tomcat web server.

 

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...

 

Thanks,

 

-David Hill
