Web server virtual directory mappings

You create virtual directories on the web server in order to map URLs to actual directories on the web server machine. When you set up a virtual directory on your web server, you provide a name for the virtual directory along with the actual directory path of the corresponding HTML files, images, and so on. You typically define virtual directories with your web server's administration tools and/or configuration files.

For Crystal Enterprise to function correctly, these virtual directories must be created on the web server:

• The /crystal virtual directory
• The viewer virtual directories

Note:    For some UNIX web servers, Crystal Enterprise includes the appropriate web server directives in its default configuration files and templates. For complete details, see Configuring UNIX Web Connectors
