Figure 5-4 through Figure 5-15 show a sample PMDF-MTA configuration session, including IMAP/POP server configuration, using the web-based configuration utility.

If this is an initial PMDF configuration where PMDF is not yet running, you will need to start up the PMDF HTTP server in standalone mode via the command (issued from the root or pmdf account):

# /pmdf/bin/http_server -s

Once the PMDF HTTP server is running, either in standalone mode for a new installation or on a previously configured PMDF system, then to access the web-based configuration utility you must point your web browser at the appropriate URL. Using Netscape (version 3.0 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, connect to

http://localhost:7633/

where localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF system. If this is a configuration for an initial PMDF installation with the PMDF HTTP server running in standalone mode, you will then see a screen such as shown in Figure 5-2; if this is a configuration (or re-configuration) on a system with PMDF already running, you will then see a screen such as shown in Figure 5-3. To begin the configuration, select the "Configuration Utilities" link from the HTTP server main page as shown in Figure 5-3.

Note that if you have previously run the web-based configuration utility, then you may use the "Load" button of the initial page, Figure 5-4, to load your previous session's answers; those answers will then become the defaults for this new session. When you are satisfied with the answers on a given page, press the "Next" (or "Done") button to continue the configuration.
