server, you must install Communicator or another browser onto your machine before
installing iPlanet Web Server.
Installing Communicator on Unix or Linux
To install Netscape Communicator you can download the software from
http://home.netscape.com, or follow these steps to install from the CD:
1. Put the iPlanet Web Server CD-ROM in the drive and change to the directory for the
Unix or Linux operating system that your computer uses.
For example, if you are using a Solaris system, type
cd solaris.
2. Change to the comm472 directory on the iPlanet Web Server CD.
3. Copy the comm472.tar file from the iPlanet Web Server CD to a temporary directory
on your local disk.
4. Change to the staging directory on your local disk and untar the comm472.tar file by
typing
tar -xvf comm472.tar.
5. At the command line, type ./setup to start the Communicator installation.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions.
CAUTION
iPlanet Web Server 6.0 and iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 cannot exist in the same
