    To configure IntraSeek inside Challenger focus on the Virtual Servers and select the server on which you've installed IntraSeek. Most of the time there is no need to change many of the IntraSeek module variables, unless any of the special cases described below occurs. Here is a listing of the module variables.


    Figure 1
    Admin Password & Admin user name
    The password and name you use to access the Intraseek graphical configuration interface. The default values are the standard roxen administrators user name and password. (IntraSeek asks the Challenger configuration interface to get these). You can change these values, or simply keep them as they are.
    Administrator email
    Should contain your own mail address. It will be used by the crawler when presenting itself to the web server. If you wish to be be anonymous it can be left empty. This email address will not be on any web page, but only in the HTTP protocol request header.
    Engine home location
    Should point to where you have copied your IntraSeek files. This should default to the correct directory.
    Mount point for config
    Where IntraSeek mounts on the server URL. May be left unchanged (i.e 'intraseek/').
    Profile config location
    Is by default the same as Engine home location. If you plan to run IntraSeek on only one virtual server, this is fine, for a while.


    If you want to share the same IntraSeek code and base directory for several virtual servers, you should change the Profile config location path. The path points to a location where the profile configurations are saved. Several virtual servers can share the same IntraSeek engine home location, but if profile config location is left untouched, they will all use the same profiles - which, for example, means that they will all try to autolaunch crawlers at the same time (More on this in the chapter Advanced profile configuration).


    If you are using a port other than port 80, make sure that the Server Variables/Server URL is correct and that it contains the proper port as well. Otherwise an error will result.

    Go to IntraSeek
    When the Challenger configuration is done direct your web browser to IntraSeek's dedicated graphical configuration interface. If you have a SiteBuilder server running focus on the Plugins/IntraSeek tab. If you don't have a SiteBuilder click on the link Go to the administration page inside the IntraSeek module configuration interface.


    If that link doesn't work, this is how you find the correct URL:
    Look at Mountpoint for config. The default is intraseek/, so, for example, if you have set up IntraSeek at the web server of the domain www.compa.com, you should direct your web browser to: http://www.compa.com/intraseek/

    Upon directing your browser you will be asked for a name and a password. State the name and password mentioned above.
