3. Java Support

Install this subcomponent if you are planning to use Java servlets or JSPs.

You also need a JRE or JDK to use iPlanet Web Server’s Java support.
Install the JRE provided with iPlanet Web Server (see the previous
subcomponent) or install a JDK.

9.

Enter the machine name or accept the default.

10.

Enter the Linux user and group names to use when running the default
instance of iPlanet Web Server.

11.

Enter the Linux user name to use when running the Administration Server.

In most cases this user is

root

.

12.

Enter the Administration Server user name and password to use for
authentication. You are asked to enter your password twice.

This user is not a Linux user, but a user name and password in iPlanet Web
Server. If you are using a Netscape Directory Server, you must make sure that
the Administration Server user exists in the Directory Server, and that it has
access permissions to the Directory Server to perform user and group
management tasks.

13.

Type the Administration Server port number or accept the default of 8888.

Make sure you remember the port number for the Administration Server.

For the most flexibility, choose a port number above 1024. If you want to use a
port number lower than 1024 for your Administration Server, you must be
logged on as

root

to start the server. Do not use a port that is already in use.

This iPlanet Web Server Administration Server is not the same as the Netscape
Console, or the Administration Server shipped with other iPlanet/Netscape
servers.

For more information on ports, see “Choosing Unique Port Numbers” on
page 16
.

14.

Type the port number of iPlanet Web Server. The default is 80. This port
should be different than the Administration Server port. Unless you are
installing as

root

, the port must be within the stated range (1024 to 65535). If

you are installing as

root

you can use port numbers below 1024.
