Chapter 2 Installing iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition on Unix 29
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.
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.iplanet.com and you choose port 9753, your server’s URL will be
http://www.iplanet.com:9753/
For more information on ports, see “Choosing Unique Port Numbers” on page 16.
15. Type the root 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 server_root/docs.
16. If you want to use your own JDK, enter Yes.
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 21.
17. 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.
18. After the installation program extracts and installs the iPlanet Web Server components,
press Enter.
19. Go to the https-admserv directory under your server root directory (for example
/usr/iplanet/servers) 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.
