Installing iPlanet Web Server for Windows
NT
The following sections describe the installation of the iPlanet Web Server.
Any errors that occur when the server starts are logged in the Event Viewer.
Once started, the server logs errors to the normal error log file.
Warning Please keep the following warnings in mind:
• If you have Netscape Enterprise Server 3.x installed, you must install your
4.x iPlanet Web Server in a different server root directory.
• If you have beta versions of Netscape or iPlanet 4.x servers installed,
uninstall them before installing the final version.
• Because of DLL conflicts, if you install iPlanet Web Server 4.1 and Enterprise
Server 3.6 on the same machine, uninstall Enterprise Server 3.6 after you
migrate it to iPlanet Web Server 4.1. When you uninstall Enterprise Server
3.6, don’t delete any shared dll files (when asked choose “No to All”). If
not, you will have trouble uninstalling iPlanet Web Server 4.1 later.
• If you have Enterprise Server 3.6 installed, shut down the Administration
Server and Enterprise Server instances before installing iPlanet Web Server
4.1.
• Do not install iPlanet Web Server on an NFS-mounted drive due to potential
security and file locking restrictions on remote partitions.
• The server will unpack onto the drive designated by the TEMP environment
variable. Make sure there is enough room on the device TEMP points to
before starting the installation.
• If you already have iPlanet Web Server 4.0 installed, you must install iPlanet
Web Server 4.1 in the same directory if you want to upgrade your 4.0 server
to 4.1. Your 4.0 server will be upgraded automatically. Before installing
iPlanet Web Server 4.1, back up your old server.
