iceinst Command—Configure Web Deployment Option

Valid on UNIX.

The iceinst command is a CGI program that enables the configuration of Ingres Web Deployment Option parameters and installation of the Web Deployment Option tutorials using a Web browser.

To run iceinst, the Ingres installation and the Web server should be running. You should know the operating system path of the Web server's CGI directory and the URL for the directory.

The iceinst command uses the parameters provided on the command line to copy an instance of the iceinst program from the ingres\bin directory to the CGI directory, for further access from a Web browser.

The iceinst command has the following format:

iceinst [-d CGI_directory] [-u CGI_URL] [-s Web_server_name]
[-b Web_browser | -remote]

• -d CGI_directory

  Identifies the full path to your Web server's CGI directory (if not already configured).

• -u CGI_URL

  Identifies the Uniform Resource Location (URL) to your CGI directory (if not already configured).

• -s Web_server_name

  Identifies the name of your Web server as it is known on the internet and/or intranet (if not already configured).

• -b Web_browser

  Identifies the full path and file name of your Web browser, including the browser executable name.

• -remote

  Starts the Web browser from a different computer. This option disables the invocation of the Web browser and displays the URL to use from a Web browser on another machine.

iceinst Examples

The following examples use Netscape Communicator as the Web browser.

This command starts iceinst:

iceinst -d /documents/cgi -u /cgi -s webmachinename -b /netscape/netscape

The -remote flag used in the following example provides the URL required for a browser on another machine. This is useful if the Web server does not have a browser installed or does not have a console. The remote command provides the address http://webmachinename/cgi/iceinst.

iceinst -d /documents/cgi -u /cgi -s webmachinename –remote
