Installing iPlanet Web Server, FastTrack Edition on Unix

27

If you are installing Java 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. For more information, see “Installing a Java Developer’s Kit,” on page
18.

18.

If you are installing Java support, and you either did not choose to install the
provided JRE, or you chose to use your own JDK, enter the absolute path to the
directory where you installed the JDK on your system.

The JDK must already exist in the specified directory.

If the JDK libraries and CLASSPATH are stored in the default directories below
the JDK directory (/jre/lib and /lib, respectively), press Enter at the JDK
LIBPATH and JDK CLASSPATH prompts. If the libraries and CLASSPATH
are stored in a different place on your system, enter the pathnames. On most
systems you will not have to enter pathnames at these prompts.

19.

After the installation program extracts and installs the iPlanet Web Server
components, press Enter.

20.

Go to the

https-admserv

directory under your server root directory (for

example

/usr/netscape/server4

) and start the Administration Server by

typing

./start

. You can also type

./startconsole

in the server root

directory.

startconsole

starts the Administration Server and launches a browser to the

Administration Server administration pages. Later, if you have a Netscape
Console installed and have registered the server with it, startconsole starts the
Netscape Console. For more information, see “Accessing iPlanet Web Server
from the Netscape Console,” on page 20.

21.

To configure your iPlanet Web Server, use the URL:

http://

server_name:administration_port

For example:

http://iplanet:8888

Enter your administration user name and password.

You can now configure your iPlanet Web Server. For more information, see the
iPlanet Web Server Administrator’s Guide.

Express Installation

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.
