CIMPLICITY Web Server default startup

During installation, CIMPLICITY configures the CIMPLICITY Web server to automatically start at boot, if no other Web server is running on the computer during post setup. If another Web server is running at that time, CIMPLICITY does not configure the CIMPLICITY Web server to start at boot.
