Double-click the setup.exe file (if you downloaded the file, this happens automatically when you double-click the downloaded file).
The Welcome screen appears. After reading the Welcome screen, click Next.
The Software License Agreement appears. Click Yes to accept the license.
The Select Installation Type screen appears. Choose the kind of installation you want: Express, Typical or Custom.
Express installation is for users who have little experience or are evaluating
the product. It makes assumptions about such things as port number and
which components to install. This option is not recommended if you are
using your server in a production environment.
Typical and Custom installation give you more options, and for this release
do the same thing.
Warning.
If you are upgrading from iPlanet Web Server 4.0, use Typical or Custom
installation, not Express installation.
If you chose Express installation, the following settings are set automatically
for you. If you want to have different values for these settings, choose
Typical or Custom installation.
Warning.
Do not use Express Installation if you already have another web server
running on port 80.
Click Next.
The Location of Installation dialog box appears. The default location for the server files is C:\Netscape\Server4, where C: is the letter of the drive on which you are installing the server. Click Next.
If you want to install iPlanet Web Server in a non-default location, use
Browse to navigate to the folder you want.
Warning.
If you have iPlanet Web Server 4.0 installed already, and you want to
upgrade it to iPlanet Web Server 4.1, you must install 4.1 in the directory
where 4.0 is installed. Your 4.0 server is automatically upgraded to 4.1.
The Components to Install dialog box appears. Select iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition from the list. Note that because the Administration Server is now an iPlanet Web Server instance, it is installed automatically when you install iPlanet Web Server, and is not a choice on this product list.
Note.
By default, the installer installs a default set of subcomponents. If you want
to change the subcomponents you install, click Change and continue to
Step 7.
If you did not change subcomponents or if you've completed your
subcomponent selections, continue to Step 8, unless you are upgrading
from a 4.0 iPlanet Web Server.
If you are upgrading from iPlanet Web Server 4.0, when you install
subcomponents, you must install all the subcomponents you installed for
4.0, otherwise they are not upgraded properly and may not work. You can
install additional subcomponents as well.
If you are upgrading from a 4.0 iPlanet Web Server, you see a screen
informing you that the installer has detected an upgrade, and that in
addition to installing the components you selected, it will also upgrade any
components that have been previously installed.
Press Enter to continue with the installation. You will not have to answer
any more prompts; instead the installer picks up the information from your
old installation. Continue to Step 14.
If you clicked Change on the previous screen, the Select Sub-Components dialog box appears. You can select a subcomponent for installation by checking the box next to it. You can decline to install it by unchecking the box. If you later decide you want to install subcomponents you did not check, you can run the installer again and choose to install only the missing subcomponents. However, you cannot uninstall separate subcomponents once they are installed.
By default, all subcomponents except WAI are installed. When you
complete your selections, you return to the Components to Install dialog
box (Step 6).
Server Core. Install this subcomponent to install the Administration Server
and the first instance of iPlanet Web Server.
Warning.
You must install the Server Core subcomponent the first time you install
iPlanet Web Server. If you install additional subcomponents later, you are
not required to reinstall the Core subcomponent.
Java Runtime Environment. If you are installing Java and servlets
support, you must have a JRE or a JDK. You can install the supplied JRE
subcomponent or use a JDK already installed on your system. If you want
to use your own JDK, you'll need to supply the path to it later in the
installation. For more information, see "Installing a Java Developer's Kit."
Java and Servlets. Install this subcomponent if you are planning to use
Java and servlets.
You need a JRE or JDK to use iPlanet Web Server's Java support. If you do
not have one installed on your system, you should install the JRE provided
with iPlanet Web Server (see the previous subcomponent) or install a JDK.
Server-Side JavaScript Support. Install this subcomponent if you are
planning to use Server-Side JavaScript.
Server Side JavaScript Database Support. Install this subcomponent if
you are planning to use server-side JavaScript database connectivity
(LiveWire). If you plan to use this feature, you also need to install Server-
Side JavaScript Support (see the previous subcomponent) as well. You also
need to install a JRE or JDK.
Web Publishing. Install this subcomponent if you are planning to use the
Web Publishing, Netshare, or search features.
iPlanet Core WAI Support. Install this subcomponent if you are planning
to run Web Application Interface programs. If you are using WAI, you must
also have an ORB. You will have to provide the installation program with
the path to the ORB on your system later in the installation process.
SNMP. Install this subcomponent if you are planning to use SNMP.
The Web Server Administration Server Authentication dialog box appears. Type the user name for Administration Server access; the default is admin. Type the Administration Server access password; type it again for verification. Click Next.
If you are using LDAP-based authentication, you must make sure that this
user has access permissions to the LDAP server to perform user/group
management tasks.
If you chose Express Installation, skip to Step 14.
The Web Server Administration Server Port Selection dialog box appears. Type the port number the Administration Server runs on. This can be any number from 1 to 65535. The URL for administration access is displayed. You might want to make a note of this URL. The default port is 8888.
If Enterprise Server 3.6 is installed on your system, do not use the same
Administration Server port number for iPlanet Web Server 4.1 as you used
for Enterprise Server 3.6.
For more information on ports, see "Choosing Unique Port Numbers."
Click Next.
The Default Web Server dialog box appears. A default instance of iPlanet Web Server is installed automatically.
Type a port number for the default instance of your iPlanet Web Server.
This port should be different than the Administration Server port. If you use
a port other than the default port (port 80), the URL used to gain access to
your home page will change. For example, if your computer is called
www.mozilla.com and you choose port 9753, your server's URL will be
http://www.mozilla.com:9753/
Warning.
Do not use port 80 if you already have another web server running on port
80.
For more information on ports, see "Choosing Unique Port Numbers."
Type the path for the default server's primary document directory, where
your server's content files (the images, html documents and data you want
to present to users accessing the server) will reside. The default is
C:\Netscape\Server4\docs. Click Browse to navigate your file system.
The Using LDAP for Users and Group Administration dialog box appears. If you want to use LDAP, click the checkbox and specify the LDAP URL in the format ldap://hostname:port/base DN. For example,
ldap://mozilla.com:389/o=siroe.com.
You must also enter the bind DN (for example, cn=Directory Manager) and
the directory server password.
If you do not want to use LDAP, leave the checkbox unchecked.
Click Next.
If you are installing the Java and Servlets subcomponent (installed by default), the JDK Configuration dialog box appears. If you are using Java on your iPlanet Web Server, you must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. You can use the JRE included with iPlanet Web Server (for more information see Step 7) or you can use a custom JDK that already resides on your system.
To use your own JDK, click the Use Custom Java Development Kit
checkbox and enter the absolute path to the folder where you installed the
JDK on your system. If you want to use a Library path or Classpath that is
different than the default for your JDK, enter a different path here.
If you chose to install WAI in Step 7, the ORB Selection dialog box appears. Enter the path to the directory where your Object Request Broker (ORB) is installed. The server assumes the required libraries are in a subdirectory called lib within the directory you specify. To get the Visibroker 3.3 for C++ ORB, or the Visibroker 3.4 for Java ORB, contact Inprise at
http://www.inprise.com/visibroker/download.
The Configuration Summary dialog box appears. This dialog box contains information about the settings for your iPlanet Web Server and Administration Server. It also contains a list of the iPlanet Web Server components you selected for installation.
This dialog box gives you the opportunity to review your settings before the
installation is complete. If they are correct, click Install. If you want to
change some of the settings, click Back and correct the information.
The server files are installed. The Setup Complete dialog box appears.
Before you can use your administration and web servers, you must either
start them from the Control Panel's Services item, or reboot your machine to
start them automatically.
Note.
You should not cancel the installation process while the files are being
copied. If you do, you will have a partial installation you need to clean up.
If an uninstaller for iPlanet Web Server exists, use it to uninstall the portion
of iPlanet Web Server you installed. If the uninstaller does not exist,
manually delete all the files that are in the server root.
Click Finish.
Restart your machine or use the Services Control Panel to start the iPlanet Web Server. If you are upgrading, you need to restart your server.
To configure your iPlanet Web Server, use the URL:
http://server_name:administration_port
For example: http://mozilla:8888
Enter your administration user name and password to administer the server.
