Adding Installation Procedures for Web Server to Your Plan

Add these instructions anywhere there is a local dependency on Web Server. In a distributed solution, your installation plan may repeat the installation and configuration instructions for Web Server on several computers, to support different web application components. For example,

To add installation and configuration instructions for Web Server, do the following:

1. The section on the supported component tells you to add to your installation plan an instruction to run the installer and select both the supported component and Web Server.

2. Next, list the configuration values for Web Server. Use Table 3–15to help you choose configuration values for Web Server.

3. If the supported component is configured and deployed by the installer (Access Manager, and Portal Server), do the following:

   1. Add to your plan the configuration values for the supported component.

   2. Add an instruction to run the installer and supply configuration values for Web Server and the supported component.

   3. Add an instruction to start the Web Server instance. This step also starts the supported component.

   4. As described in the section on the supported component, verify that the supported component is running correctly.

4. If the supported component is not configured and deployed by the installer (Communications ExpressDelegated AdministratorInstant Messaging), do the following:

   1. Add an instruction to run the installer, select Web Server, and supply configuration values for Web Server.

   2. Add an instruction to list the configuration values for the supported component.

   3. Add an instruction to run the supported component's configuration wizard and supply the configuration values for the supported component.

   4. Add an instruction to start the Web Server instance. This step also starts the supported component.

   5. As described in the section on the supported component, add and instruction to verify that the supported component is running correctly.

5. As described in the section on the supported component, if the support component instances are load balanced, add an instruction to verify operation of the load balancer.
