Before loading Collaboration software onto your system:
Read the release notes for the latest information on the products you are loading.
Verify that the installation directory in the Solaris file system has sufficient space (100+ MB) to accommodate loading and installing CCS.
Verify that you have installed the iPlanet web server and that it is functioning correctly.
We recommend that your run the installation program as a non-root user.
Familiarize your self with the following terms, please read the iPlanet documentation for complete details regarding your iPlanet web server.
server
root
This is the root directory for the iPlanet installation. Normally this
is /usr/netscape/server4/.
server
instance
This is the term that iPlanet uses to refer to an instance of their
web server bound to a specific TCP/IP port. It is also used to refer to
the directory in which the web server's configuration files, logs, start
and stop scripts, and other dynamic configuration information is stored.
The naming scheme for a server instance is always '<server root>/https-<server
name>'. Assuming the default server root, a typical server instance
could be: /usr/netscape/server4/https-www.myserver.com and /usr/netscape/server4/https-www-secure.
Notes:
The iPlanet installer always uses the https prefix in server names regardless of whether or not the server is configured for SSL.
The iPlanet installer always creates an https-admnserv server instance. The CCS install script excludes this server from the list of possible instances for which CSS can be installed, since this is the server instance that pertains to the Admin UI.
iPlanet Admin UI
This is the web-based user interface for the iPlanet server. You
can access it over the administration port (8888 by default). If you have
installed Sun's AnswerBook application, port 8888 may already be in use,
so a different port may be used for the iPlanet Admin UI. Check your configuration
for details.
