Installing iPlanet Web Server for Unix
30 Installation and Migration Guide
9. Enter the machine name or accept the default.
10. Enter the Unix user and group names to use when running the default
instance of iPlanet Web Server.
The default user and group is nobody. If you’re planning to use SNMP, the
user name must be root.
Note If you are upgrading from iPlanet Web Server 4.0, you see a screen
informing you that the installer has detected an upgrade, and that in
addition to installing the components you selected, it will also upgrade any
components that have been previously installed.
Press Enter to continue with the installation. You will not have to answer
any more prompts; instead the installer picks up the information from your
old installation. Continue to Step 20.
If you do not want to continue with the upgrade, press CTRL-c to exit the
installation program.
11. Enter the Unix user name to use when running the Administration Server.
In most cases this user is root.
12. Enter the Administration Server user name and password to use for
authentication. You are asked to enter your password twice.
This user is not a Unix user, but a user name and password in the Directory
Server. You must make sure that the Administration Server user exists in the
Directory Server, and that it has access permissions to the Directory Server
to perform user and group management tasks.
13. Type the Administration Server port number or accept the default of 8888.
Make sure you remember the port number for the Administration Server.
For the most flexibility, choose a port number above 1024. If you want to
use a port number lower than 1024 for your Administration Server, you
must be logged on as root to start the server. Do not use a port that is
already in use.
This iPlanet Web Server Administration Server is not the same as the
Netscape Console, or the Administration Server shipped with other iPlanet/
Netscape servers.
