Installing the Siebel eCollaboration Server
Installing the Siebel eCollaboration server updates the class path for the WebSurfer in JRun. Each time you reinstall JRun, this class path is lost. If you reinstall JRun, then you must manually update the class path.
For information about updating the JRun classpath, see Updating the JRun Classpath.
NOTE: If you have an existing installation of Pixion's PictureTalk server or the Siebel eCollaboration (Pixion PictureTalk) server, you must uninstall it before you install the Siebel eCollaboration server.
CAUTION: The Siebel eCollaboration server and Siebel Web Engine must reside on different machines.
Before starting the eCollaboration server installation, do the following:
- Determine and record the IP address of the machine on which you installed JRun. You are required to enter this IP address during the installation.
- HTTP Gateway software allows users to access the eCollaboration server securely through firewall ports configured for HTTP. Because most firewalls are already configured to support HTTP, the HTTP Gateway allows administrators to maintain existing firewalls without having to configure special ports for eCollaboration traffic. If you implement a firewall, and your Web server software supports virtual IPs, you should install the HTTP Gateway to bind to the same port on which the Web server listens, typically port 80. To do so, assign two different IP addresses to the machine that hosts both JRun and the eCollaboration server. Configure the Web server to listen on the port for one IP address and configure the HTTP Gateway, through the following procedure, to listen on the same port for the other IP address.

- On the Siebel eCollaboration server computer, close all open applications and then insert the Windows Server Ancillary Programs CD-ROM.

The Ready to install the application dialog box appears, and then the Updating system progress dialog box appears.
- In the dialog box indicating successful installation, click Finish.
- After exiting the Siebel eCollaboration installation wizard, click OK in the Install dialog box to restart your computer.
The Siebel eCollaboration server services, PictureTalk CSS Manager, and PictureTalk Meeting Manager are started. The names of the services correspond to the Instance Name entered in Step 3. For example, if the instance name is
ecollab
, the services appear as ecollab Meeting Manager and ecollab CSS Manager.
