http://<your_machine_name>/servlets-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample

A page should display that says "Hello World" if the test is successful.

Apache must run on the default port 80. If not, append the port number after the machine name in the URL. If the above test fails, recheck the installation steps for Apache and Tomcat. It may be that the URL works if users specify 'port 8080'. This only indicates that Tomcat is working. Do not proceed to install ArcIMS until this is working.

Install ArcIMS 9.0 from the installation CD. Refer to the ArcIMS Installation Guide for more information.
Install any Service Packs available for ArcIMS 9.0 before continuing. They are available for download at the
ArcIMS Patches and Service Packs Website

To configure ArcIMS 9.0, run the ArcIMS Post Installation. Refer to the ArcIMS 9.0 Installation Guide, Step 3b. -show me-

A. Select the Typical Post Installation Option.

B. At the Web Server-Servlet Engine Configuration dialog box, select 'I will manually configure my Web server /servlet engine'. Click Next.

E. Go to the expanded <drive>:\Tomcat5027\webapps\servlet\WEB-INF\classes directory.

F. In a text editor, open the file Esrimap_prop.

G. Change the AppServerMachine variable "APPSMACHINE" to the name or IP address of the machine where ArcIMS Application Server is installed. Change the AppServerClientPort if you are using a non-default client port.

Similar steps are necessary to deploy the ArcIMS Service Administrator (esriadmin.war), Metadata Explorer (metadataexplorer.war and the WMS Connector (wmsconnector.war). Please see the Installation Guide and ArcIMS Help for more information.

H. Save and close the Esrimap_prop file.

CREATE VIRTUAL DIRECTORIES

I. In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <ArcIMS Installation Directory>\ArcIMS\Common\ApacheAlias.txt and copy the contents of the file. Close the file.

J. In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <Drive>:\Apache\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf. Under the line:

Alias /icons/ "<Apache Installation Directory/Apache2/icons/"

Paste the lines from the ApacheAlias.txt file.

Replace the paths in these lines with the appropriate paths where necessary.

K. Save and close the file.

Verify that the ArcIMS installation was successful. -show me-

A. Click Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS Diagnostics. The ArcIMS Diagnostics page displays.
