James/All:
  The follwing is what I get after a none "root" user starts the GUI:

nv6000:/u/irizarrg>ps -ef |grep web
   netop 24802 25298   0 07:28:11      -  0:00 
/usr/OV/web/httpd/NetViewWebServer 
    root 24858 30356   1 08:20:00  pts/1  0:00 grep web 
   netop 25298     1   0 07:28:11      -  0:00 
/usr/OV/web/httpd/NetViewWebServer 
   netop 27352 25560   0 07:28:36      -  0:00 
/usr/OV/web/httpd/cgi-bin/TME10_NetView_Binaries/w
ebquery 
"As root I issue the nvwebstart"
nv6000:/u/irizarrg>nvwebstart      
nv6000:/u/irizarrg>bind: Address already in use
httpd: could not bind to port 8181
If I kill the the web process, then the nvwebstart command under root works 
fine. I looked at the "netview" script and it shows the start of the web as 
part of it. The Netview script (daemons) are started via the inittab member.
If the user "netop" was to su to root then start the GUI every thing works.
Thanks in advance

Changing permissions on the map is not the same thing as starting the web
server.  It is started automatically if the GUI is started by root.   If
you don't want root to start the GUI, then use nvwebstart, though that
command, like the starting of the daemons, also requires you to be root. 
I thought nvwebstart and nvwebstop had been mentioned on this forum before.

(AIX 4.3.2 NV 5.1.1)
Is anyone out there having problems with the web server?.
The only way that I can get the webserver to start is when I su  root first
then start nv6K GUI.
I've changed ownership of the default map to a common operator id (netop)
with read write exec permissions and have executed the  cmd  "chmod_web_ovw
-a".
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

Richard,

There are quite a few problems with the web client on
5.1.1. I currently have several PMR's open with
support(several weeks old). Apparently development is
working on it.

1. Icons are off from the GUI
2. The event window only holds 58 or so events.
(I have app-defaults, Nvevents set for 2500).
3. Ack/Unack updates the read/write GUI. Ack/Unack
works at Node level but, not interface(or vice versa).
4. You need four web pages open to navigate around the
web client.
5. Submaps option is missing if you login remotely.

If anyone knows of a way around or a fix for these
things. Please let us know.

Jan
