Installation Overview
The iPlanet Web Server CD-ROM contains installation programs for both iPlanet
Web Server 4.1 and Netscape Communicator 4.61. In addition, the iPlanet Web
Server comes with a version of Directory Server on a separate CD.
When you install iPlanet Web Server, you follow these basic steps:
1. If you have an existing iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Server, or FastTrack
Server already installed, shut it down and save a back up of all the files in
the server root. On Windows NT you may also want to save copies of files
added to Winnt/Sytem32 during server installation, and copies of the
registry as well. For more information on saving copies of the registry, see
your operating system documentation.
2. If you do not already have either Communicator 4.61 or higher or Internet
Explorer 4.01 or higher installed, install the version of Communicator
provided on your iPlanet Web Server CD.
3. If you are planning to use users and groups, and you do not have a
Directory Server installed, install it from the Directory Server CD included
with your iPlanet Web Server. When you install Directory Server, you also
install Netscape Console.
4. Make a note of the LDAP URL associated with your Directory Server,
because you will need it during the installation process.
5. Install and configure iPlanet Web Server.
Installing Netscape Communicator
Because you need a web browser such as Netscape Communicator to
administer your server, you must install Communicator or another browser onto
your machine before installing iPlanet Web Server.
