If you meet these conditions, you do not need to log in as root to install the server; instead
log in as the user account that the Administration Server will use. However, you may still
prefer to log in as
root, even though you meet the conditions.
Unpacking the Files
To get the iPlanet Web Server files and unpack them, follow these steps:
Installing from an iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition CD
1. Put the iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition CD in the drive.
2. Change to the CD-ROM directory. For example:
cd /cdrom
3.
Change to the directory on the CD labeled with your Unix operating system. For
example:
cd solaris
4.
Change to the installation directory. For example:
cd entprise
5.
Copy the tar file from the CD to your home directory or a temporary directory. For
example:
cp ee60sol.tar /tmp/iwsinstall
Copying the file may take a little time.
6. Change to the directory on your Unix machine where you copied the file. For example:
cd /tmp/iwsinstall
7.
Untar the file by typing tar -xvf filename.tar. For example:
tar -xvf ee60sol.tar
NOTE
Untarring the file will cause the permissions of the destination directory to be
modified so that applications can no longer write files to it. To avoid this problem,
untar the file in a directory where you can modify the permissions. For example,
instead of /tmp, use a subdirectory under /tmp, for example,
/tmp/iwsinstall.
