<h2>Report Manager Web Server</h2>
<h3>Installation</h3>
Installing Report Manager web server in Microsoft IIS 5
Usually you copy the application (rpwebserver.dll) into a directory with privileges
to execute binary files.
Open the Internet Information Services administration tool, create a directory
(cgi-bin) and alter properties to allow executing applications.

<img src="images/webserverinstall2.jpg" width="461" height="465">
You can test the installation by calling the application with /version command:
<a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/repwebserver.dll/version">http://localhost/cgi-
bin/repwebserver.dll/version</a>
This will give you info about the configuration file the report web server
is using, including the location of the configuration file.
For security reasons you can't add/remove users or aliases from the web. To
configure users and aliases you can use repserverapp(xp) and repserverconfig(xp),
execute repserverapp as a privileged user (root or Admin) so it opens the system
wide configuration file and have write permissions over it, then execute
repserverconfig(xp)
and add aliases and users. You can see the generated file location in reportserverapp
form, this configuration file will be used by the web report server.
<a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/repwebserver.dll/login">http://localhost/cgi-
bin/repwebserver.dll/login</a>
Some tricks will help you otsetup the web server:
<ul>
<li> Make sure the user executing Internet Information Services have read privileges
for the directories containing reports</li>
<li>After changing some configuration make sure to restart Internet Information
Services or else use repwebexe.exe instead of repwebserver.dll</li>
<li>If an error about dbxdrivers appear copy dbxdrivers.ini and dbxconnections.ini
files to the path the error 
indicates. </li>
<li>Check the permissions of the above files for the user executing IIS.</li>
<li>For IIS, usually no need to install CGI, progm add/remove windows features, then
enter IIS admin and ISAPI-CGI
restrictions and right click to enable CGI globaly, then on the cgi-bin application,
enter on handler
assignments and enable cgi for this application.</li>
<li>If your machine is a multiprocessor machine or a hyperthreading technology
machine may be rebwebexe.exe will give you the better performance (instead
the ISAPI repwebserver.dll)</li>
</ul>
Installing Report Manager web server in Linux Apache
Usually you copy the application (rpwebexe.bin and repwebexe) into a directory
with execution privileges, in Suse 7.3, is /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin.
You must place the configuration file of the server in /etc/reportmanserver
file. You can generate it with the <a href="serverserver.html">tcp server application</a>
and the <a href="serverconfig.html">tcp server configuration</a>. 
This file will contain user information (default user Admin with blank password)
and the report directories. A simple file can be:
[ALIASES]
SAMPLE=/var/reports
User running apache process must have read privileges of this directory.
The database configuration files must be placed in directory /usr/local/etc,
this files are:
dbxconnections.conf, dbxdrivers.conf
There information about database location, user names and passwords are stored,
if you use the designer application (repmand) it usually reads and writes this
configuration files to /home/username/.borland directory, you can copy the files
from there to the correct directory.
Finally the report server application must link to required libraries, you
should place this libs (provided with the report designer) in /opt/kylixlibs
directory, because repwebexe.bin application launcher add this directory to
the path, otherwise you can add other directory to /etc/ld.so.conf file and
run ldconfig command.
To test the server you can write:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/repwebexe.bin/version
It will say you the version and the configuration file location, then you can
test the configured reports:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/repwebexe.bin/login
<h4>Thousand separator and other locales</h4>
Most linux distros use a diferent locale for apache, you can check environment
variables with the /version command and see the resulting decimal separator,
thousand separator etc, you can override it by placing for example a .htaccess
file in cgi-bin directory where repwebexe is placed, with this content:
SetEnv KYLIX_DEFINEDENVLOCALES yes 
SetEnv KYLIX_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR . 
SetEnv KYLIX_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR , 
SetEnv KYLIX_DATE_SEPARATOR / 
SetEnv KYLIX_TIME_SEPARATOR :
<h4>Using a log file to track web report server activity</h4>
You can specify a log file to write information about executed reports. To
enable the log file edit your configuration file and insert:
[CONFIG]
LOGFILE=/var/log/reportmanweb.txt
Make sure the user executing repwebexe application inside Apache or IIS has
write privileges over this file.
<h4>Serve customized html files</h4>

To serve alternative html files, you must configure where the html files are
and use the replacement strings contained in the models. You will find the html
original files (models) in the cvs development tree. 
To configure place in the configuration file
[CONFIG]
PAGESDIR=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\reportserver

Configuring environment variables in Apache using Oracle
You can pass environment varaibles to any cgi with apache, for example oracle
needed ones. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
PassEnv directive 
Syntax: PassEnv env-variable [env-variable] ... 
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess 
Override: FileInfo 
Status: Base 
Module: mod_env 
Compatibility: PassEnv is only available in Apache 1.1 and later. 
Directory and .htaccess context is available in Apache 1.3.7 and 
later. 
Specifies one or more environment variables to pass to CGI scripts 
and SSI pages from the environment of the shell which invoked the 
httpd process. Example:
 PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
In addition: You must set the Oracle environment 
(ORACLE_HOME,PATH,LD_LIBRARY_PATH) inside the init httpd script 
(/etc/init.d/httpd) plus add the following directives inside the 
configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: 
PassEnv ORACLE_HOME 
PassEnv PATH 
PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
To generate advanced graphics (charts) you must use the alternative repwebexex. 
The apache server service must start in runlevel 5, and the Xserver must be running. 
The environment variable DISPLAY must be defined to :0 in he apache runtime. 
Some security settigs should be disabled, the fastest way is to disable the firewall and
then execute the comand to enable access to the Xserver: xhost +
