Hello,
When I setup vicibox-install (6.0.4) and choose enable expert installation
it shaws this:

Will this server be used as a Web server? [y/N] : y
---> Install Redirect Page? [y/N] :

what is the install redirect page and why must I set it up?

Also I have installed the data server and web server in one tower, if I wanted to split the web server in another server I would run the cluster setup and everything is running okay. The old web server that was together with the data server, how I desable it?

thank you very much.

That option will just install an index.html page that will automatically redirect the user to the Vicidial Welcome screen from the webroot. While doing that, it will display "Please Hold while I redirect you!".

Linux CLI: "yast"

=> System (left pane)
=> System Services (right pane, tab and down arrow to get there)
=> Apache2

Disable apache2 and it will no longer start on reboot.

However: It may be a better idea to leave it running but avoid using it except in emergencies. Many rooms use the DB server for administrative Web access and the Web server for Agent Web Access. But you can turn apache2 on and off at will at the CLI as well, without affecting whether it will start at boot like this:

service apache2 stop

service apache2 start

So you can check to see what works best for you.
