Integrating External iPlanet Instance

I'm trying to get a specific branch served up by an external webserver (iPlanet 6). The iPlanet server has /iw-mount mapped to /.iwmnt/. I can browse to content perfectly, however, any attempt to include files fails. I could temporarily remedy this by sym-linking the $webserverdocroot/inc to STAGING/htdocs/inc, but that doesn't seem like the best approach to me. Is there any way of getting an external webserver to respect the docroot directives in iw.cfg?

To provide more info, this is not the "Customer Webserver". Its an iPlanet instance outside of TS completely.

Hi,

Are you able to map /iw-mount to /iwmnt on teamsite server and able to get the content processed on iPlanet WebServer.

I want to know the details how have you done these mapping on iPlanet WebServer.

Kindly reply soon

I was able to map /iw-mount to /.iwmnt. Serving up content is not a problem; problems occur when JSP includes are used.

I added an alias from /iw-mount to /.iwmnt. I also added the necessary changes in magnus.conf and obj.conf (the default object) to pick up the TeamSite redirector. I could put in the same changes and get external IPlanet 4 servers to work. We're running TS5.5.2 (NO SP) on Sol 2.8.
