Chapter 2, Installing iPlanet Web Server 49
Installing iPlanet Web Server for Linux
This user is not a Linux user, but a user name and password in iPlanet Web
Server. If you are using a Netscape 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.
For more information on ports, see “Choosing Unique Port Numbers” on
page 17.
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.mozilla.com and you choose port 9753, your server’s URL
will be http://www.mozilla.com:9753/
Warning Do not use port 80 if you already have another web server running on port
80.
For more information on ports, see “Choosing Unique Port Numbers” on
page 17.
15. Specify whether you are using an LDAP-based directory server (enter Yes or
No).
You must use an LDAP directory server if you want to use user and group
functionality in iPlanet Web Server.
