Running a standalone Scalix Rules Wizard

The web-based Scalix Rules Wizard is currently installed as part of a Scalix Server. Some nstallations want to run this on top of their split-off SWA web server in the DMZ for external access.

This is currently not a documented setup. For the situation, the only way to properly install the SRW on a webserver right now is to do a partial server install and just not run the server. The steps are outlined here:

1. Install the appropriate server RPM using the RPM command
2. Execute ommakeom
3. Disable Scalix Auto-Start in /etc/sysconfig/scalix
4. link the apache config file into the apache webserver configuration

 #*(on RHEL4: ln -s /opt/scalix/global/httpd/scalix-web-client.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d

1. Enable Apache Auto Start: chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
2. Start Apache: service httpd start
3. Edit /var/opt/scalix/omhtml/config and add a line reading DEFAULT-OMSERVER = fqdn.of.a.scalix.server

As the Web-based rules wizard relies on referrals, this will work in Portal mode for all scalix servers that have their directories synchronized with the scalix server listed.
