Permit users to view a website using an IP address or another host name

Summary

I've created an ArcIMS web site using my web server host name (e.g., myserver). How can my users view it using an IP address or another host name (e.g., my.server.com)?

Procedure

1. Find and open the aimsdefaults.properties file in a text editor and replace all references to the hostname with the full IP address or new hostname.
2. For all existing ArcIMS web sites, do the following in each web site directory:
   
   a) For each HTML Viewer website, change IP address or new hostname of URLs. Open the ArcIMSparam.js and edit the imsURL and imsOVURL variables.
   
   b) For each Java Viewer web site, open the default.axl and update the axl location.
3. The Output URL of all Image MapServices must be updated. Start ArcIMS Administrator, and open the properties for each MapService. Change the HTTP location (URL) for the Output directory. Click Save Configuration.
4. Set the new Output URL as the default for future MapServices. From the View menu, choose Site Properties, Server Output tab, and change the HTTP Location (URL). Click Save Configuration.
5. You must have valid port numbers for registry and connector ports. ArcIMS Monitor must point to the correct ArcIMS Application Server.
   
   To check this:
   
   · On NT, open the Registry, go to HKEY_Local_Machine > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > ArcIMS Monitor 3.0 > Parameters.
   Update the RegistryHost to the correct IP Address for Application Server.
   
   · On UNIX, go to $AIMSHOME/Xenv/aimsmonitor; the command line option is:
   java -cp $AIMSHOME/Monitor com.esri.mtier.ImsMonitor <app server machine> 5353 $AIMSHOME/bin DEBUG
   
   Type the Application Server computer name with the full IP address.
