  Allow from all
  </Directory>

  
  P. Scroll to the DirectoryIndex section and add default.htm to this line.
  DirectoryIndex index.html default.htm
  Q. Restart IBM HTTP Server.
  
   
• To configure ArcIMS 9.1, run the ArcIMS Post Installation. Refer to the ArcIMS 9.1 Installation Guide, Step 3B. When you get to the Web Server-Servlet Engine section of the Post Install, select “I will manually configure my Web server / Servlet engine”.

• Verify that the ArcIMS installation was successful.
   
  A. Navigate to Start > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS Diagnostics.
  B. Verify the Web server protocol and Web server name are correct, including the domain and port number. The default is port 80.

  Note:
  On Windows XP/2003 machines, Internet Explorer sometimes does not show the hostname and port number. If this is the case, right-click near the top of the window and select 'Allow Blocked Content'.

  C. Test both components. The result for Test 1 should be:
  
  IMS v9.1.0
  Build_Number=1084.1931
  Version=9.1.0
  Test successful
  
  The result for Test 2 should be:
  
  Version=9.1.0
  Build_Number=1084.2174
  Test successful

  Note:
  If these tests are successful, the ArcIMS Application Server and ArcIMS Servlet Connector are configured correctly. If an error message is received, select the error number from the dropdown list and click View. The error number and a description displays. Follow the instructions in the description to fix the problem and then try the Diagnostics tool again.
