Chapter 2, Installing iPlanet Web Server 25
Installing iPlanet Web Server for Unix
If you meet both 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.
Warning You must log in as root if you are planning to use express installation.
Unpacking the Files
To get the iPlanet Web Server files and unpack them, follow these steps:
Installing from a CD-ROM
1. Put the CD-ROM in the drive.
2. Change to the iPlanet Web Server CD in the CD-ROM directory.
3. Change to the directory on the CD-ROM labeled with the Unix operating
system that your computer uses (for example, type cd solaris)
4. Type cd entprise to change to the installation directory.
5. Copy the entprise.tar file from the CD-ROM directory to your home
directory or a temporary directory.
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.
Copying the file may take a little time.
6. Change to the directory on your Unix machine where you copied the file.
7. Untar the file by typing tar -xvf entprise.tar.
This command unpacks the server files and creates a temporary directory
structure under the current directory. Unpacking the file may take a little
time. When the files are unpacked, you see a WebServer directory, and the
following files: LICENSE.txt, README.txt, setup, and setup.inf.
