We are trying to configure an application (livelink) to work in a 3 tier environment. One of the servers we are using is apache and not supported by the vendor. Hence this issue needed to be resolved by us.
"With the three tier architecture, the uploading of Documents is the most difficult to setup. This is what happens when a document is uploaded. The Web Server will dump the file to the system's TEMP directory. The Livelink
Server will then grab the file from the system's TEMP directory and then add it to the Livelink database or external document store. With the three-tier setup, the Web Server and Livelink are on separate machines. Therefore the
Web Server will have to write to a temp directory that will write to the Livelink Server. You may be able to tell the Web Server to write to a different TEMP directory other than the system's TEMP directory. Then the Livelink Server's system TEMP will have to be set to the directory (on the Livelink Server) where the Web Server wrote to, through a NFS mount"
So if I change the apache tmp directory to the NFS mounted directory of the other server, it will work.
Thanks

Thank you. But you didn't answer my question.
I assume you're sending data to Apache via HTTP file uploads. What piece of software on the server side handles the manipulation of the data coming in, in order to write the files? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions: TANSTAAFL!

And how are these executables invoked by Apache when an HTTP stream containing a file arrives?
The last time I checked, Apache doesn't do file uploads without a CGI or module. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions: TANSTAAFL!
