Known Problems and Solutions
46 iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition Release Notes • June 20, 2001
Problem 400714. Web Publisher Applet and SSL
The Web Publisher Java applet is not supported in SSL mode.
Problem 410728. Server shutdown appears to fail after creating IP addresses for multiple virtual
servers
The first time the server is shut down after adding IP addresses for multiple virtual servers, the
server may exceed the expected shutdown time. By default, an error message will appear, claiming
server shutdown has failed. This message should be ignored as the server is actually in the process
of shutting down. Subsequent shutdown attempts will not experience a prolonged shutdown time.
Problem 416848. MaxProcs + LDAP SSL + hardware accelerator does not work
Setting MaxProcs and LDAP SSL with a hardware accelerator enabled does not allow the hardware
accelerator to work with child processes.
Problem. iPlanet Web Server SNMP Master Agent won’t start on ports other than 161with the user
interface.
Workaround
Though you cannot start the Master Agent through the user interface, you can start it by hand.
Edit /server_root/plugins/snmp/magt/CONFIG to specify the desired port.
Run the start script as follows:
cd /server_root/https-admserv
./start -shell /server_root/plugins/snmp/magt/magt
/server_root/plugins/snmp/magt/CONFIG
/server_root/plugins/snmp/magt/INIT
The master agent will then start on the desired port. However, the user interface will be able to
detect that the master agent is running.
Java and Java Servlets
Servlet Error Information Not Available in iPlanet Web Server 4.1 Error Log
Due to the way the Servlets are "external" to the iPlanet Web Server, the output is not directed to the
web server’s error log. Instead, the output goes directly to standard output file of the web server
process. Note that output from servlets goes to the STDERR of the process that started the web
server if you use
system.out.println() (or anything that uses the system.out object). In
addition, note that the provided
out object is in fact properly written to the server’s error log.
