About the Web Connector Plug-In
The web connector plug-in is installed on your web server at the time you install a Netscape Application Server.

If you install the Netscape Application Server on the same machine on which a web server is installed, the web connector is installed and the web server configured automatically.

If you install the Netscape Application Server on a machine on which a web server is not installed, you must manually install the web connector on that web server machine. For more information about manually installing the Web connector, see .

In rare cases, you might have to manually configure the web server for the web connector. For more information about manually configuring the web server, see "Manually Configuring a Web Server."
