To configure scohelp on a given SCO system
to use a remote help server, complete the following steps.
For the purposes of this procedure, we
assume three things:
The server machine name is helpsrv.sco.com,
The client machine name is helpcli.sco.com,
SCOhelp document resources
(in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ScoHelp)
and scohttp document root values
(in /var/scohttpd/conf/srm.conf
and /var/scohttpd/conf/access.conf) are set
to their default values. For more information on setting those values, see
the manual pages for
scohttp(ADM)
and
scohelp(XC).
CAUTION:
This procedure sets helpcli.sco.com to use a remote help server
by default.
Individual users can override the system default in /$HOME/.Xdefaults
files.
Log in as root.
If scohttp is installed and you no longer intend
to use it locally,
disable scohttp by entering:
scohttp disable
With your ASCII
editor, open
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ScoHelp
NOTE:
These settings assume the default resource configuration
on the server.
For more information about X resources, see
Chapter 5, ``Understanding resources'' in the Graphical Environment Guide.
For more information on scohelp resources,
see the manual page for
scohelp(XC).
Log on as root to helpsrv.sco.com and enter
scohttp query. If the server is
running the output should resemble the following:
Scohttp is currently running.
Scohttp is enabled.
If it is not running, see
scohttp(ADM).
Start help on helpcli.sco.com by entering
scohelp at a SCOterm
UNIX command line. If the help library appears, you have
correctly configured helpcli.sco.com to use the
help libraries on helpsrv.sco.com.
If it does not, check to make sure you followed the
steps correctly.
After completing this procedure, make sure that
context-sensitive help works on
helpcli.sco.com
by pressing <F1> with the cursor in any graphical application.
If help for that application appears, context-sensitive help is
working. If the an error message or the
Documentation Library appears
see
``Using context-sensitive help on a document server system''.
