Preparing Your Server

Before loading Collaboration software onto your system:

  1. Read the release notes for the latest information on the products you are loading.

  2. Verify that the installation directory in the Solaris file system has sufficient space (100+ MB) to accommodate loading and installing CCS.

  3. Verify that you have installed the iPlanet web server and that it is functioning correctly.

  4. We recommend that your run the installation program as a non-root user.  

  5. 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.
