Installation guide

Installation, Upgrade, and Migration Information

For example, if you install the JRE and Server-Side JavaScript Database components, the next time

you run the installer the Java, Servlets, and Server-Side JavaScript subcomponents are shown as not

installed. These subcomponents were installed previously, however, because the Server-Side

JavaScript Database component depends on them.

says that the user must first remove the old configuration directories.

Uninstall Issues

not removed from the system.

Problem 385770 (Unix). Obsolete 4.0 Server Files Not Deleted During Uninstall After Upgrade to

Version 4.1

On Unix, when you upgrade the iPlanet Web Server from version 4.0 to 4.1, and then uninstall the

upgraded server, files present in version 4.0 only are not uninstalled. This problem occurs only for

upgrading and uninstalling the iPlanet Web Server, not for installing and uninstalling it.

Workaround

After uninstalling the upgraded server, manually delete the following files if they are present:
