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.
