AXIS 2400+/2401+ Admin Manual Customizing The Video Server

Creating a New Home Page

Having created and stored your new custom Web pages in product memory, you then

proceed to assign one of these pages as your default Home page in the AXIS 2400+/2401+,

as described below:

Caution!

1. Start a new ftp session to the AXIS 2400+/2401+, by entering:

2. Type

bin

3. Navigate your way to the appropriate directory, entering:

4. Fetch the

boa.conf file, by typing:

5. Edit

boa.conf and add the following line to the end of the file:

This will create an alias to your own “homemade”

index.html file stored in the

/etc/httpd/html/ directory and redirect access to it. Replace the edited boa.conf in

the video server, by using the

Put command.

Note: As an alternative to the above, you might like to edit the line starting with Document Root

so that it points directly to the local directory. However, after doing this you will then be

unable to access the original Home pages - so be warned!

6. After making these changes, you will not be able to automatically access the default

index page. Instead you must type in the complete URL to access it:

Adding a new Web page to your AXIS 2400+/2401+ is not something that should be undertaken lightly.

Remember: Axis does not support the personalization of product Web pages and strongly recommends

that inexperienced users DO NOT

perform such modifications.
