Installing JRun


Before installing the Siebel Distance Learning server, you must install JRun 3.0.2 on the same computer on which the Siebel server and the Web server are installed.

CAUTION:  If you have a previous version of JRun, you must uninstall it and delete the physical directory from your computer. You may need to restart your machine to remove the physical directory.

To install JRun 3.0.2

  1. Locate the installation file from the CD and run the command jr302.u.sh.
  2. Specify the directory in which you would like to install JRun. It does not have to be the same directory as the Distance Learning server.
  3. To select the number of installation to be performed, select [1] for Typical.
  4. To specify where the JRE is installed, enter the directory in which you installed JRun.
  5. NOTE:  If you have installed JRE 1.3.1, it may say "No information is available for this JVM." Ignore this message and proceed with your installation.

  6. To enter a license key for JRun, first locate the license key. The license key is located in the same directory folder as the README.txt file.
  7. Enter the JRun Admin user password.
  8. The JRun port can be kept at the default: port 8000 or you can specify a different port available on your server.

Configuring JRun

You must use the JRun Management Console to define how JRun connects to your Web server.

Before configuring JRun determine a free port number that JRun can use and the full path to the scripts directory on the Web server.

To configure JRun with your Web server

  1. Make sure the JRun Admin Server is started and your Web server is stopped.
  2. Open up a browser, and go to http:<server>:<port number you selected for JRun>.
  3. Make the following entries for Step 1 of the Connector Wizard, then click Next.
