FAQs: Setting Up the e–Library to Use Different IP Addresses for Inside and Outside an Intranet

How can I set up the e–Library to use one IP address for users inside my intranet and a different address for users outside my intranet?

To set up the e–Library so that it can be accessed from outside the library, campus, or intranet by one IP address and within the library, campus, or intranet by another IP address, use the following procedure.

1

In the system.env files, comment out the HTTP_ADDRESS line and add a line that reads as follows.

USE_FULL_HTTP_ADDRESS|0|

2

Find the cgi–bin directory for the web server. Edit the webcat file. On a Windows server the file will be named webcat.pl.

3

Remove the part of the URL that specifies the http protocol and the address of the server.

For example, by default, the webcat or webcat.pl file contains the following line.

echo ”Location: http://12.345.67.8/uhtbin/cgisirsi/${unique_code}/0/49”

Change the line as follows.

echo ”Location: /uhtbin/cgisirsi/${unique_code}/0/49”

You should immediately be able to access the e–Library, without having to halt/initialize/run any servers.
