Configure HTTP Server

Greetings,

I’m new to HTTP Server and would like to make it work
on p670 AIX V5.1

I would appreciate if you can shed some light on the
following queries:

(1) Run this command:
ps -ef | grep -i http

And received the following:
imnadm 15998 1 0 Nov 11 - 0:00
/usr/IMNSearch/httpdlite/httpdlite -r
/etc/IMNSearch/httpdlite/httpdlite.conf

The description from SMIT says:

  File Level Description
(Uninstaller)

  IMNSearch.rte.httpdlite 2.0.0.15 Lite
NetQuestion Local Web Server

Would this indicate that HTTP server has been
installed and running?

Or is httpdlite completely different program?

(2) I tried to start HTTP Server with ./httpd. It
failed with following error:
106, Binding the socket failed.

Is ./httpd the right command to start? How to solve
the above binding problem?

(3) Browse the content of
/etc/IMNSearch/httpdlite/httpdlite.conf, I found the
following:
Port 49213
Userid imnadm
Groupid imnadm
Exec /cgi-bin/* /var/docsearch/cgi-bin/*
Pass /icons/* /usr/docsearch/html/*

The rest is purely a list of AddType entries.

Is this the right file to include additional entries
such as ServerName etc. and what corrections and
minimum entries are required to include in this file?
The intention is for Intranet use only. Is it
sufficient to assign the IP address of the AIX box to
ServerName (or equivalent)?

(4) There are only 2 directories under /usr/HTTPServer

drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 512 Oct 15
18:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 34 bin bin 1024 Nov 15
07:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Oct 15
18:07 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 512 Oct 15
18:07 htdocs

Is this the right place to include new scripts under
cgi-bin directory?

Many thanks,
Curio.
